45
ARBES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To lose myself to overflow
Don't tell me what I know is mine
Sounds boring but it's all the time
Oh
Oh
Oh, Ah
Go hide and wait near steps and pools
To see you there a vision full
Don't tell me what I know is mine
Sounds boring but it's all the time
Oh
Oh
Ah
Ah
Don't tell me what is mine
Don't hesitate, don't sail away
Don't sail away
Don't hesitate
To feel the same
Don't sail away
Don't sail away
Don't lose your game
Don't take your faith
Don't sail away
Don't sail away
Don't hesitate
To feel the same
Don't sail away
The lyrics of ARBES's song "45" are open to interpretation, but the song seems to be about the struggle to maintain control over oneself and one's thoughts. The first two lines suggest a desire to break free from rigidity and fixed ideas, to allow oneself to overflow with new experiences and ideas. The refrain of "don't tell me what I know is mine" may suggest a need to trust one's own instincts, rather than relying on others for guidance. However, the following lines imply a fear of losing control and the need to hide, suggesting a conflict between the desire for freedom and the fear of the unknown.
The chorus "don't sail away" may be a plea to oneself or someone else not to give up, to stay present in the moment and not to run away from challenges. The repetition of "don't hesitate" and "to feel the same" may suggest a desire for connection and understanding with others, but at the same time, a fear of losing oneself in the process.
Overall, "45" seems to be a complex exploration of the tension between self-discovery and self-preservation, as well as a plea for vulnerability and connection.
