Devotion
Atari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Atari's song Devotion is a passionate disappointment towards the youth who claimed to be drug-free and had strong beliefs but lost their way. The lyrics point out that these youths have lost their edge and turned away from their beliefs and goals, and they will soon forget about it in a few weeks. But the singer of the song assures them that it is his life, and he will carry on where they left off.
The lyrics also refer to the fact that those who once believed in sobriety have now become addicted to drugs, which has resulted in their hearts not being in it anymore. The singer is disheartened by their shift in attitude and priorities that no longer include their belief in drug-free living.
The lyrics showcase the importance of staying true to one's beliefs and morals, and the knowledge imparted by the people who shared them. It highlights the significance of adhering to one's beliefs, staying true to oneself, and not getting lost in the chaos of the world.
