Compound
Arbitraire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
a need to be
Sort of fine
borderline
Red threads all
around of it
Other's pace
a part of it
society
So let me in
naivety
The leaves of pine they´re taking time
Illusions no just taking soul
Bitter minds leave the lines
Sorting out
further days
Other needs
taking bits
Covered up
entirely
So secretly
a heart can be
The leaves of pine they´re taking time
Illusions no just taking soul
Bitter minds leave the lines
To see that there a phases like this
That all perspectives can switch
As all's a compound of bits
Gives you eyes that permit
In Arbitraire's song "Compound," the lyrics explore the complex nature of individuals and society. The opening lines suggest a need to belong and to be accepted, but also express the idea of being on the brink of something, potentially teetering between being "fine" and "borderline." The metaphor of "red threads" implies that there may be connections and influences from others that contribute to this state of being. The idea of compromise with society is then introduced, perhaps suggesting that conforming to social norms can also contribute to this state of being "borderline." The final lines of the first verse express a desire to be let in, perhaps indicating a longing for connection or understanding, but acknowledging a certain level of naivety.
The second verse continues to explore the complexity of individuals, with lines such as "sorting out further days" and "covered up entirely," suggesting that individuals may have their own struggles and secrets. The line "bitter minds leave the lines" could suggest that negative thoughts or experiences can leave a lasting impact on individuals. The repetition of the chorus, which describes the leaves of pine and the taking of time, illusions, and bitterness, reinforces the idea of the complexity of individuals and the various experiences that shape them.
