Displaced
[:SITD:] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It makes me wonder what I'm here for
Please allow me to explain
Stop yourself and listen
The more I give the less you see
That what I want is not for me
Can we clear these clouds away
And feel the sun again?
Something disappears inside
Does darkness end in crystal light?
The vast heavens, lightning skies
Every day I miss them
(2x)
You got a different point of view
It doesn't matter what I do
Please allow me to explain
Stop yourself and listen
I am lonesome to the bone
Lost in rain and storm
Can we clear these clouds away
And feel the sun again?
CHORUS:
Something disappears inside
Does darkness end in crystal light?
The vast heavens, lightning skies
Every day I miss them
(2x)
Every day I miss them
Something disappears inside
Every day I miss them
Every day I miss them

The lyrics express a desire to be heard and understood by others, despite the fact that the more they try to explain themselves, the less people seem to understand them. The chorus of the song seems to suggest that with each passing day, the person singing the song is losing a part of themselves to the darkness of their circumstances.

The vast heavens and lightning skies mentioned in the chorus represent something bigger and more beautiful than the current situation the person singing the song finds themselves in. The lyrics express a sense of hopelessness and loneliness, with the person feeling lost in the metaphorical rain and storm of their circumstances. The lyrics call for a change, for the clouds to be cleared and for the sun to shine again.

I don't like this place at all
I am discontented with my surroundings
It makes me wonder what I'm here for
This environment prompts me to question my purpose
Please allow me to explain
I request your attentiveness
Stop yourself and listen
Please focus and hear me out
The more I give the less you see
Despite my efforts, you do not fully comprehend my intentions
That what I want is not for me
My desires are unattainable for me
Can we clear these clouds away
Might we remove this shroud of gloom?
And feel the sun again?
May we bask in radiance once more?
Something disappears inside
I experience an internal loss
Does darkness end in crystal light?
Can darkness culminate in clarity?
The vast heavens, lightning skies
I yearn for expansive skies and lightning conditions
Every day I miss them
I long for these things daily
You got a different point of view
You possess an alternate perspective
It doesn't matter what I do
My actions turn out irrelevant
I am lonesome to the bone
I am profoundly lonely
Lost in rain and storm
Overwhelmed by turbulence and precipitation
Every day I miss them
I long for these things daily
Every day I miss them
I long for these things daily
Something disappears inside
I experience an internal loss
Every day I miss them
I long for these things daily
Every day I miss them
I long for these things daily

Incredible! My son shared this with me on VR... This short video is very effective in presenting each child's perspective. We need informative and meaningful films. Thank you.

Absolutely epic work. This is a brilliant example of how to use technology to bring the viewer directly into the video.

I have only cried twice watching a movie or a video. And this almost made me cry. Very powerful

Very emotional and actually so correlative. When the NATO bombing started in Serbia I was nine and after that the question: "Did you go though a war or something!?" that people would normaly ask whenever they get upset was definetly not the same. Plus the wars out of our country, devastating for any family whose members have died or suffered of those in any way.
All of us, children, were relying on things we could find right next to us to play with, and if there was dirt and dirt only we would either "bake cakes" out of it or just play with simple games such as "Care, care, koliko je sati?" ("Tsar, Tsar, what time is it?") or similar games that required even less than Dungeons and Dragons. Just us and our imagination. But the stories of everyday life were more than upseting. Some sounds would, also, stay forever forged into our minds, such as the air danger starting (or ending) siren. Or even any airplane flying nearby, literaly.
May God be, for the rest of their lives, on the side of everyone experiencing things like these shown in the video. God blesses these kids!
P. S. Sorry for the bad grammar and a looooooong comment.

At first I thought that the VR was going to be some cheep gimmick but after watching this and moving the camera around it really gave me a sense of place which made this story that much more real. I really feel sympathetic for these children that have to go through this struggle and I truly hope for a much better life for them all in the future.
