The Voice
Abernethy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

..........

Oh, baby, wait and see

I had a dream once, too

There were feeling blackbirds meant for me
I'd better stop, for the lake is listening

Yes, there are spies involved

Even with this talking to ourselves


Yesterday I drowned myself

Far from the view of the sun, my sister


.......


Blessed blue sky

Bless us all

Deep in her fire lies a grim authority

......


Yesterday I drowned myself

Next to a blonde with a dark repression

Yes, there are spies involved

Even with this talking to ourselves



Finally, I've got myself figured out

Finally, I've turned myself into the voice



First, the forest bloomed

With Heather's lips

Like puppy ears

Like candy

And the college grove

Was kissed with frost - Oh boy

When our skulls caved in

We said: "We want freedom"

When the savior comes

I will be open wide,

Open wide





..........

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Abernethy's "The Voice" paint a mysterious picture of self-discovery, secrets, and the desire for freedom. The opening lines "Oh, baby, wait and see, I had a dream once, too" could be interpreted as the singer speaking to themselves, encouraging themselves to have faith that their own dreams and aspirations can come true. The reference to "feeling blackbirds meant for me" could be a metaphor for goals or aspirations that the singer is unsure of how to achieve. The line "I'd better stop, for the lake is listening" suggests that there is something secretive or personal about the singer's thoughts that they don't want to be heard by others.


The mention of "spies involved" could imply that there are people or forces that are working against the singer in their pursuit of their dreams. The refrain "yesterday I drowned myself" is repeated twice in the song, suggesting that the singer has struggled with feelings of despair or being overwhelmed. The line "deep in her fire lies a grim authority" could be a reference to a powerful force or person who the singer is trying to defy or overcome.


The closing lyrics paint a picture of resilience and determination: "First, the forest bloomed, with Heather's lips, like puppy ears, like candy. And the college grove was kissed with frost - Oh boy. When our skulls caved in, we said: 'We want freedom.' When the savior comes, I will be open wide, open wide." Here, the singer is describing a beautiful moment in nature, but also alluding to the idea of breaking through barriers to achieve freedom.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh, baby, wait and see
Just trust me and be patient


I had a dream once, too
I also had hopes and aspirations


There were feeling blackbirds meant for me
There were emotions and experiences that were meant for me


I'd better stop, for the lake is listening
I need to stop talking because someone might be listening


Yes, there are spies involved
There are people watching and listening to us


Even with this talking to ourselves
Even when we are just talking to ourselves out loud


Yesterday I drowned myself
I was overwhelmed and felt like I was sinking


Far from the view of the sun, my sister
Alone and isolated from the world


Blessed blue sky
The beautiful sky above us


Bless us all
May we all be blessed

She has a fierce power within her


Next to a blonde with a dark repression
Close to someone who hides their true feelings

I finally understand myself


Finally, I've turned myself into the voice
I found my voice and identity


First, the forest bloomed
The first thing that happened was the forest bloomed


With Heather's lips
Heather's kiss was the cause


Like puppy ears
Soft and innocent like a puppy’s ears


Like candy
Delicious and sweet like candy


And the college grove
The trees in the college grove


Was kissed with frost - Oh boy
The trees were frozen, which was unexpected


When our skulls caved in
When we were overcome by hardship


We said: "We want freedom"
We expressed our desire for freedom during that difficult time


When the savior comes
When everything is resolved


I will be open wide,
I will be ready to accept and embrace what comes next


Open wide
I will keep an open mind and heart

Can anyone tell me the title of the background song at 3:55 onwards? All I can hear was "strong enough ... then I do not know the next words). The song seems emotional. Full of soul.

Ja, wenn man auf die falschen Leute setzt, dann drehen sich offensichtlich die Leute meines Freundes Xavier Naidoo Mannheim nicht um. Schade. Mit Gospels von Jörg Sommer wäre das nicht passiert.
