Test
Ákos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A lelkedben hiszel
De a testedben élsz
A lelkedhez menekülsz
Ha a testedtől félsz
(Test)
Megrémülsz tőle
Ha sajog, vagy kér
De nem adnád oda semmiért

Az érzést
Mikor a test a testhez ér…

A test a testhez ér
Sajog és kér…

Benned is minden éjjel
Háború dúl
Fájdalmad kimondhatatlan
Lelkeden a tested az úr
(Test)
Megrémülsz tőle
Mikor a tested megkísért
De nem adnád oda semmiért
Az érzést
Mikor a test a testhez ér…
A test a testhez ér
A tested megkísért…

Akárhova nézel
Halálos béke van
Gyilkol a csönd
Minden pillanatban
(Test)
Megrémülsz tőle
Talán túl vörös a vér?
Pedig nem adnád oda semmiért
Az érzést
Mikor a test a testhez ér…

A test a testhez ér…
Túl vörös a vér…

Overall Meaning

The song "Test" by Ákos talks about the duality of human existence between the physical body and the soul. The first stanza tells us that while the soul is what we believe in, we actually live through our bodies. The body is what we rely on when we are feeling vulnerable or scared. In case we are physically hurt, we retreat to our soul as a safe haven. The second stanza tells us that our bodies can be the source of pain but, at the same time, they have the power to feel pleasure that our souls can never experience. The lyrics emphasize the fact that our bodies and souls are in constant conflict, with the body having the upper hand most of the time.

The final stanza of the song implies that the world is full of danger, and we often fear the physical aspects of it. However, we cannot let fear take over our lives. In the end, the body and soul are inseparable, and we must embrace both to find a sense of balance and peace.

In summary, the song "Test" is a contemplation of the relationship between the body and the soul. It reflects on the fear and pain that comes with having a physical body, but also acknowledges the pleasures it can provide. It's a reminder that we must embrace both aspects of ourselves to live fully.
