Universe
A.A.F. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world where things are only as they seem
Wave after wave, from the deep dark sea
Sometimes it is nice just to be
Its getting hard to feel far away
I feel the sunlight in my veins
And everything too, god I thought I knew
But I don't know a thing
I feel so at home, the void I used to roam
Then by the turn of his hand, I was a boy then a man
And time was our friend, till the end, till the end, till the end
I know I'll die someday, but I think I'll be okay
Take my flesh turn it to dust
Do what you do if you must
And I'll be okay
You'll be okay
We'll all be okay
All be okay
I wanna know who I am baby
I wanna know who I am baby
Who was the first guy who chose to look at the sky and say
"The fuck is real life? And what am I?"
And after thousands of years, the answer's still not too clear
So maybe everyones dumb or maybe answer there's none
These shores where once you felt so out of place
Have captured you with sun in your eyes and wind in your face
Yesterdays woe, you watch it fade on the blue horizon
The world is pouring into your eyes when you realize
Theres a universe in you
Universe in you
Universe in you
Universe in you
The lyrics to A.A.F.'s song "Universe" delve into the contemplation of one's identity and the complexities of existence. The opening lines express a sense of self-awareness and the recognition that defining oneself is not always easy in a world filled with superficial appearances. The imagery of waves from the deep dark sea suggests the constant influx of external influences and experiences that can sometimes make it difficult to truly know oneself.
As the song progresses, there is a realization that despite the uncertainties and confusion, there are moments of clarity and connection. The mention of sunlight in the veins symbolizes a deep sense of vitality and understanding. However, there is also a recognition of the limitations of knowledge and the constant process of learning. The mention of a diamond ring and feeling at home shows a shift from uncertainty to a sense of belonging and stability.
The lyrics then juxtapose the fleeting nature of time with the inevitability of mortality. There is an acknowledgement of the fact that everyone will eventually die, but there is also a sense of acceptance and peace with this realization. The repetition of "I'll be okay, You'll be okay, We'll all be okay" emphasizes a sense of comfort and reassurance amidst the uncertainty and existential questions.
The song concludes by questioning the nature of reality and the search for meaning. It questions who was the first person to contemplate the sky and ponder the nature of existence. Despite thousands of years passing, there is still no clear answer, suggesting that perhaps there is no definitive answer to these existential inquiries. The lyrics then suggest that within oneself lies a vast universe, a reminder that each individual possesses their own unique experiences, thoughts, and perspectives.

In the past, when you felt alienated and disconnected from your surroundings
Have captured you with sun in your eyes and wind in your face
Now, these very same shores have captivated you, enveloping you in the warmth of sunlight and the sensation of wind against your skin
Yesterday's woe, you watch it fade on the blue horizon
The troubles of the past gradually recede into insignificance, as you observe them dissipating on the distant, azure horizon
The world is pouring into your eyes when you realize
As a realization dawns upon you, the vastness and richness of the world immerse your senses
There's a universe in you
Within your very being exists a profound and infinitely expansive cosmos
Universe in you
This universal essence permeates and defines your existence
Universe in you
Unveiling the truth that you encompass the boundless wonders of the cosmos
Universe in you
Reiterating the profound nature of the infinite universe residing within your being
