Alien_Ant_Farm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We should have waited
We love to break the season
We used to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind
We should have waited
See why you cry, see why you save
Your regimen is gonna die
See what you know
Let's see what you throw
Your regimen
Waiting? So
Waiting? I know
We love to break the season
We used to shake the beehive
To rewind
We should have waited
See why you came, see why you go inside
Your regimen is oh too slow
See why you cry, get sting from the hive
See, your regimen
Waiting? So
Waiting? I know
And I don't mind
We love to break the season
And you're the reason
We used to shake the beehive
To relax
We love to break the season
And you're the reason
We used to shake the beehive
And rewind
See! And we don't mind
Are you sane? Are you ashamed?
See! And we don't mind
Are you sane? Are you ashamed?
See! And we don't mind
And we don't mind
And we don't mind
And we don't mind
We love to break the season
And you're the reason
We used to shake the beehive
To relax and rewind
The lyrics to Alien Ant Farm's song Universe are somewhat ambiguous and open to interpretation. However, one possible interpretation is that the song is about the band's regret over rushing into things too quickly and not taking the time to fully appreciate the present moment. The repeated line "We should have waited" suggests that the band feels they may have missed out on something important by not taking their time. The lines "We used to shake the beehive" and "Your regimen is gonna die" could be interpreted as the band feeling restless and wanting to shake things up, while "To relax and rewind" suggests that they may have been trying to escape from something.
The verses of the song seem to pose a series of questions to the listener, such as "See why you cry, see why you save" and "See why you came, see why you go inside". The chorus, on the other hand, asserts the band's desire to break from the norm and shake things up. The final lines "And we don't mind" suggest that the band is confident in their decisions and is willing to accept the consequences of their actions.
