SEE OFF
BRAHMAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You who gone far away from me
To the voice that had been left there
And going to the end
Without a clue of what happened to you who wail
I don't give a shit and I'll see your back
The ears with no sound - how can I tell you something?
Going to write down the sun with your dried up cheek
You who gone far away from me
To the voice that had been left there
And going to the end
"I tried my best", the worst thing in life
Human existence surpass dignity... What the fuck
The eyes with no sight - there is no naked truth
The ears with no sound - buzzing is all you can hear
Going to write down the sun with your dried up cheek
You who gone far away from me
To the voice that had been left there
And going to the end
The lyrics of BRAHMAN's song "See Off" convey a sense of loss, frustration, and futility in the face of separation and death. The singer addresses someone who has gone away from him, perhaps by dying or simply disappearing, and tries to understand the meaning of their absence. The image of "writing down the sun with your dried up cheek" suggests an attempt to capture and preserve something ephemeral and transcendent, like a memory or a feeling that is fading away. The idea of going to the end could refer to the end of life, the end of a relationship, or the end of hope itself.
The singer admits to feeling helpless and angry, not knowing what happened to the person he cared for and not being able to communicate with them anymore. The line "I don't give a shit and I'll see your back" appears conflicting with the rest of the lyrics, but it could be interpreted as a way of coping with the pain and denial of his feelings. The contrast between the "eyes with no sight" and the "ears with no sound" could represent a sense of disorientation and confusion, as if the person has lost their sense of direction and purpose.
