22 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We will gain a day soon if we ever
Talk about O. M. C. I.
Ok we do this now
Even though I said I'd be alright
Too many people and too many try
Oh
Indulge in never going there
The sky would drop for a while
Doing all the stuff that makes you feel sick
I feel like vomiting
The flowers and the bile
You took a little, I saved a little
Piece of the divine that named you so hollow
Can't cross my little, bones oh, so brittle
I don't understand, no reason to be a man
Then you took a little, I saved a little
Piece of the divine that named you so hollow
Can't cross my little, bones oh so brittle
I really don't see why this is bound to be a tie
Anyone could walk through this
It's sounding like a sign
Turned on by a summer kiss
I reresign
Anyone could walk through this
It's sounding like a sign
Turned on by a summer kiss
I reresign
Commodaro told me that
We will gain a day soon if we ever
Talk about O. M. C. I
Ok we do this now
Even if it means
That you are getting
Twice the pleasure of consensustain each one
Or the other
Intimate or not it doesn't say
Coming home and I go my way
You took a little, I saved a little
Piece of the divine that named you so hollow
Can't cross my little, bones oh so brittle
I don't understand, no reason to be a man
Then you took a little, I saved a little
I really don't see why this is bound to be a tie
Anyone could walk through this
It's sounding like a sign
Turned on by a summer kiss
I reresign
Anyone could walk through this
It's sounding like a sign
Turned on by a summer kiss
I reresign
Walk through this
Sign
Summer kiss
I reresign
The lyrics to 22's song Plastik are intriguing and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about feeling disconnected from reality and struggling to find a sense of purpose or meaning. The lines "Commodaro told me that we will gain a day soon if we ever talk about O.M.C.I." suggest that there is some sort of secret or hidden meaning behind everyday life that the singer is trying to uncover. However, they also express a sense of resignation, as though they know they will never fully understand what is really going on.
The chorus of the song, "Anyone could walk through this, it's sounding like a sign, turned on by a summer kiss, I reresign," seems to express a sense of frustration with the mundane aspects of life. The singer feels like they are going through the motions, but there is no real purpose or passion behind their actions. The phrase "turned on by a summer kiss" suggests that the singer is looking for something to ignite their passion, but they are not sure where to find it.
Overall, the lyrics to Plastik are enigmatic and thought-provoking. They suggest a feeling of dissatisfaction with modern life and a desire to find something more meaningful. The song's dreamy, ethereal sound adds to this sense of longing and searching.
Line by Line Meaning
Commodaro told me that
Someone named Commodaro informed me that
We will gain a day soon if we ever
We will save a day if we ever
Talk about O. M. C. I.
Discussing something called O.M.C.I. might help us save time
Ok we do this now
We are going to do it now
Even though I said I'd be alright
Despite me assuring that I am okay
Too many people and too many try
There are too many individuals and attempts
Oh
An exclamation
Redefine this has no core whatsoever
Redoing this has no fundamental basis
Indulge in never going there
Giving in to the temptation of avoiding it completely
The sky would drop for a while
The atmosphere would seem unstable for a brief moment
Doing all the stuff that makes you feel sick
Engaging in activities that cause physical discomfort
I feel like vomiting
I feel nauseated
The flowers and the bile
The beautiful and impure aspects combined
You took a little, I saved a little
You took a portion, and I reserved a share
Piece of the divine that named you so hollow
The aspect that gave you a name but makes you feel empty
Can't cross my little, bones oh, so brittle
I can't surpass my fragile limitations
I don't understand, no reason to be a man
I do not comprehend being a man, I see no logic behind it
I really don't see why this is bound to be a tie
I genuinely do not see why this is destined to end in a draw
Anyone could walk through this
This situation isn't challenging at all
It's sounding like a sign
It appears like a message
Turned on by a summer kiss
Stimulated by a kiss during summer
I reresign
I resign again
Coming home and I go my way
Returning home and going my own path
Even if it means
Even if it implies
That you are getting
That you are receiving
Twice the pleasure of consensustain each one
Double enjoyment with every individual involved
Or the other
Either of the two
Intimate or not, it doesn't say
Whether it's personal or not hasn't been mentioned
Walk through this
Pass through this place/situation
Sign
Indication, implication
Summer kiss
Kissing during summer
I reresign
I resign again
