NO LIGHT THEORY
BRAHMAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turning his gaze on me to make my life hard
Where is your theory, which is your greatest virtue?
For a ten-thousandth of honesty
Stubborn thoughts destroy the nature
The old thoughts disturb the nature
Where is your duty, your most valuable thing?
Feel it to grasp, the way to understand
Wave between standstill and apathy
Feel it to grasp, go ahead between slumber and no spirit
Looking on the midstream, when there is no one feeling ashamed
In the no-light theory to come...
Feel it to grasp, the way to understand
Wave between standstill and apathy
Feel it to grasp, go ahead between slumber and no spirit
In "No Light Theory" by BRAHMAN, the lyrics speak to the struggles of being misunderstood and judged by others. The song begins by expressing frustration towards someone who is trying to read the singer's mind and use that knowledge to make their life difficult. The lyric, "Where is your theory, which is your greatest virtue?" suggests that the person attempting to manipulate the singer should have a better understanding or justification for their actions.
The following lines allude to the destructive power of stubborn thoughts and old beliefs. These thoughts are portrayed as disturbances to nature and hinder the person from fulfilling their duty or pursuing what is truly valuable. The lyrics convey a yearning to break free from these mental constraints and find a deeper understanding of oneself and the world.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of feeling and engaging with emotions to gain a deeper understanding of life. It speaks about wavering between a state of stagnation and apathy, as well as being caught between a state of slumber and lacking enthusiasm or a sense of purpose. These contrasts highlight the desire to overcome these internal struggles and embrace a more vibrant existence.
The phrase "Looking on the midstream, when there is no one feeling ashamed" suggests that the singer is observing a situation where nobody feels ashamed or accountable for their actions. This could be seen as a critique of societal norms or a plea for more honesty and self-reflection.
Overall, "No Light Theory" delves into the themes of self-discovery, overcoming obstacles, and the need for introspection in order to navigate through life's challenges.
