When Did The Taste Leave Your Mouth
Arcane Roots Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seen the circus fall apart?
All I need is a space
In your heart
Because I'm alive still
(Yeah)
I'm alive still
(Yeah)
So when did the taste leave your mouth?
I'm all of reaction
I'm sick, full of doubt
When did we fall without a sound?
Like nothing at all
Nothing at all
Feel the way of the doubt
Feel it grow like a cancer inside of your mouth
Feel the blame trickle down
Now I'm falling much faster
Counting the means to the end
YEAH
So when did the taste leave your mouth?
I'm all of reaction
I'm sick, full of doubt
When did we fall without a sound?
Like nothing at all
Nothing at all
Because I'm alive still
But I find my way in the dark
So if you see me coming
Leave me something to keep all my dreams in the air
Because I'm alive still
But I find my way in the dark
So if you see me coming
Leave me something to keep all my dreams in the air
Keep all my dreams in the air
Keep all my dreams in the air
Because I'm alive still
(Yeah)
I'm alive still
(Yeah)
So when did the taste leave your mouth?
I'm all of reaction
I'm sick, full of doubt
When did we fall without a sound?
Like nothing at all
Nothing at all
Yeah
The lyrics to Arcane Roots' song "When Did the Taste Leave Your Mouth" are melancholic and introspective, analyzing feelings of doubt and insecurity. The opening lines suggest a plea for help from someone who is lost and looking for a place to belong. The metaphor of the circus falling apart portrays a sense of chaos and confusion, while the repetition of "I'm alive still" represents resilience and determination to keep going. However, it is clear that the singer is struggling with feelings of doubt and uncertainty, as they question when the excitement and enjoyment of life disappeared.
The chorus "When did the taste leave your mouth?" is a rhetorical question that represents the loss of pleasure and enjoyment in life. The singer is questioning when and how they lost the ability to savor and appreciate the experiences they once loved. They feel overwhelmed by doubts and insecurities, describing it as a cancer that is growing inside their mouth. The lines "Now I'm falling much faster, counting the means to the end" suggest a suicidal ideation, showing the desperation and hopelessness of the singer's situation.
Line by Line Meaning
Can you see in the dark?
Can you perceive what is happening around you even in darkness, when everything seems obscured?
Seen the circus fall apart?
Have you witnessed something that was once functional, disintegrate and reduce to a meaningless spectacle?
All I need is a space in your heart
All I want is a place in your heart, to be significant to you and be valued by you.
Because I'm alive still (Yeah) I'm alive still (Yeah)
I am still alive and thriving, despite setbacks and obstacles that I have faced.
So when did the taste leave your mouth?
When did the sweetness or flavor of something, like passion or desire, vanish completely from your life?
I'm all of reaction, I'm sick, full of doubt
My every move or thought is a response to a situation, and that situation makes me ill and skeptical.
When did we fall without a sound? Like nothing at all, Nothing at all
When did we fail so completely without making a sound or producing any worthwhile, relevant outcome whatsoever?
Feel the way of the doubt, Feel it grow like a cancer inside of your mouth, Feel the blame trickle down, Now I'm falling much faster, Counting the means to the end, YEAH
Experience the effect of being uncertain about something, and feel as if this doubt mounts like a malignant tumor inside you, along with growing consciousness of being responsible for something negative; this realization causes me to plummet at a faster rate, while calculating all the steps needed to reach the final, undesirable outcome.
Because I'm alive still
Again, I reiterate that I am still alive and vital, despite struggles and difficulties.
But I find my way in the dark
I have the ability to navigate myself out of darkness or confusion; I have the resilience to be able to confront troubles and find a path forward.
So if you see me coming, Leave me something to keep all my dreams in the air
If you see me advancing, please grant me something that will preserve the hope that I have of achieving my aspirations.
Keep all my dreams in the air
Make sure that my dreams, aspirations, and desires do not shatter or dissolve; instead, keep them elevated and relevant, so I can keep working towards achieving them.
Yeah
A simple, emphatic exclamation or expression of affirmation.
