Ira
Aavas Lyrics

The lyrics to Aavas's song "Ira" speak of a world filled with vague desires, where people drown their ambitions and are lost in their own thoughts. The persona of the song is critical of the state of the world, highlighting the images of wrath and anticipation that lead to mass hysteria and mayhem.

The first stanza emphasizes the idea that individuals are losing themselves in their desires and ambitions. The persona recognizes the complexity of the world and how it can be challenging to navigate. Still, he identifies with the feeling that one needs to drown individual desires to achieve peace of mind. The phrase "Ain´t the world too vague a place" challenges the idea of seeking fulfillment in things that will ultimately disappoint. The persona implies that true peace comes from looking inward and focusing on the "daze within."

The second and third stanzas dive further into the issues with the world. The phrase "Mankind set the world on fire" suggests that people with their anger and hatred have caused destruction worldwide. The lines "Blooms of thoughtfulness, forgotten on the floor/ too much to set out for but little to give you, too much less" echoes the fruitlessness of desires. In pursuit of material gain, people forget their kindness and empathy towards one another, and the persona believes people should focus on being more thoughtful and giving.

Overall, "Ira" speaks of the dangers of seeking fulfillment in material possessions and desires. The song implores people to look within themselves and find peace by fostering self-awareness and empathy towards others.
