Anna Wise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if it is there in your face
Under the lines, sodder that binds?
Call it I may, sit at a table
In a swing, may meddle in the fates, sun in a pie
"I will love and leave you dearly"
I couldn't see what isn't me
A human being sit on a knee, ceremony, le-do-do-di
And I'll lay down in a secret little place
You'll never find
Will I ever see you clearly? (See you clearly)
Will I ever see you clearly? (See you clearly)
Will I ever see you clearly? (See you clearly)
In these lyrics, Anna Wise expresses a sense of confusion and uncertainty about a relationship or a person in her life. She questions her own perception and ability to see things clearly. The line "On me, couldn't I see?" suggests that there is something she fails to notice or understand. It could be a significant aspect of the person's character or the dynamics of their relationship.
The next line, "What if it is there in your face," implies that the answer or revelation might be right in front of her, but she is unable to recognize it. The phrase "Under the lines, sodder that binds" suggests that there might be hidden layers and connections that she hasn't fully grasped yet. She acknowledges her own limited perspective by saying, "Call it I may, sit at a table." It means she might make efforts to understand, but the truth remains elusive.
The following lines, "In a swing, may meddle in the fates, sun in a pie," create a sense of whimsy and uncertainty. It could imply that she is engaging in playful or unpredictable actions, attempting to interfere with destiny, while the "sun in a pie" suggests an impossible or fantastical scenario. The phrase "I will love and leave you dearly" might indicate a pattern of entering and exiting relationships or connections without fully understanding or committing to them.
Anna Wise then repeats the line "I couldn't see what isn't me," emphasizing her struggle to perceive beyond her own perspective and experience. She further conveys this introspection by referring to "a human being sit on a knee, ceremony, le-do-do-di." It could represent the act of reflection or contemplation, acknowledging her limitations and the need for a deeper understanding.
The final lines, "One of these days I'll amaze, and I'll lay down in a secret little place you'll never find," suggest a desire to surprise or impress someone, perhaps proving her insights or abilities. It also hints at the possibility of seclusion or seeking solace in a hidden space, away from the scrutiny and expectations of others.
Overall, these lyrics convey Anna Wise's introspective journey of questioning her own perception, grappling with the complexities of relationships, and her quest for clarity and self-discovery.
