pyramid
Alyss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can never put our fingers close
But I went on a journey
I swear I saw you in another light
(It was different)
And the chord I hold
Threw it to the angels
But the war broke out
And I don't know if I can win again
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
Why don't you say?
When I feel like I drown
The room takes another shape
And the energy burns through
A pyramid that calls me up to face the night
(Iridescent)
As your cloud turned green, you took my hand but I couldn't go
No I can't fight you
'Cos I don't know if I can win again
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
Don't you say?
Why don't you say?
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
Peace and love is all we ever wanted
But to find the peace is to give away love
And I don't know if I'm there yet
But yesterday keeps me coming today
Yet somehow I'm waiting
I'm always waiting
I dunno if I can win
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you need this, why don't you say?
Don't you say?
Why don't you say?
The lyrics of "Pyramid" by Alyss are quite complex and metaphorical, but they seem to revolve around the difficulties of communication and the fear of vulnerability in a relationship. The song opens with a sense of frustration and distance as the singer and her partner "can never put [their] fingers close." However, the chorus then seems to express a desire for more direct communication, with the repeated plea of "If you want me, why don't you say?" The second verse describes a moment of intense energy and connection, but also a sense of alienation as the partner's "cloud turned green," possibly indicating a shift in emotions or identity. The final section of the song is more introspective, as the singer muses on the paradoxical nature of love and peace, and the struggle to maintain both.
Throughout the song, there are several references to symbols and mythology, such as the pyramid and angels. These may suggest a deeper spirituality or mysticism, or simply reflect the singer's interest in these concepts. The use of imagery and metaphor in the lyrics also creates a sense of ambiguity and open-endedness, leaving space for the listener to interpret their own meaning or emotion.
Overall, "Pyramid" is a thought-provoking and atmospheric track that explores the complexities of romantic relationships and the human condition.

We been dancing around
We've been avoiding the issue
Can never put our fingers close
We can't quite grasp the truth
But I went on a journey
I took a journey of self-discovery
I swear I saw you in another light
I saw you in a different perspective
(It was different)
It was not what I expected
And the chord I hold
The key to my heart
Threw it to the angels
Gave it to a higher power
To keep safe
To protect it
But the war broke out
But conflict arose
And I don't know if I can win again
And I don't know if I'll be able to fight and succeed again
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you want me, why not express it directly?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you need me, why not ask for it outright?
When I feel like I drown
When I'm overwhelmed
The room takes another shape
My surroundings seem different
And the energy burns through
Intense emotions consume me
A pyramid that calls me up to face the night
A symbol of inner strength that compels me to confront darkness
(Iridescent)
(Luminous)
As your cloud turned green, you took my hand but I couldn't go
You tried to lead me, but I couldn't follow
No I can't fight you
I can't fight against you
'Cos I don't know if I can win again
Because I am uncertain if I can prevail once more
Peace and love is all we ever wanted
All we want is harmony and affection
But to find the peace is to give away love
To attain tranquility, we must sacrifice love
And I don't know if I'm there yet
I'm unsure if I've reached that point
But yesterday keeps me coming today
Past experiences influence my present actions
Yet somehow I'm waiting
But I am still waiting
I'm always waiting
I'm always holding out hope
I dunno if I can win
I'm not certain if I'll succeed
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you want me, why not express it directly?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you need me, why not ask for it outright?
Don't you say?
Why don't you speak up?
Why don't you say?
Why don't you share your thoughts?
If you want me, why don't you say?
If you want me, why not express it directly?
If you need this, why don't you say?
If you need me, why not ask for it outright?
Don't you say?
Why don't you speak up?
Why don't you say?
Why don't you share your thoughts?

I was skateboarding down hilly london streets on a sunny late afternoon and this song came up on my spotify radio - it hit differently. I'm surprised this isn't much bigger!
