3IGHT WORD5
5th Projekt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When all is naught, lose yourself on the inside;
Between the middle where all thoughts lie.
Are you alone or are you?
Save everything
And save you
From one mind
And save you
On the inside...
Save you...
If that is what you really want to do...
When all is plastic, where's your surgeon?
Wouldn' tit be nice to be different for a day?
In your own way, and if life is belief
Why not start with yourself?
Between the middle where all thoughts lie.
Are you alone or are you?
The lyrics of 5th Projekt's song "3IGHT WORD5" are poetic and cryptic, leaving much room for interpretation. The theme of the song seems to revolve around self-discovery and the search for identity. The opening lines suggest that one should let go and surrender to the flow of passion when their time comes. The next lines suggest that one should turn inward when "all is naught" and search for themselves within the space of their own mind. The middle ground where thoughts lie is presented as a place of inner turbulence and confusion.
The phrase "Are you alone or are you?" is repeated throughout the song, hinting at a sense of isolation despite being surrounded by people. The lines "Save everything and save you from one mind" and "save you in the absence, on the inside, save you" suggest a desire to break free from one's own limitations and explore new possibilities.
