BRAHMAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
YOU SHOULD GO YOUR OWN WAY.
WHENEVER YOU CAN'T LOOK AT ME
JUST BELIEVE YOURSELF.
EVEN IF I FEEL SO SAD,
WASH IT ALL AWAY.
YOU CAN CLIMB UP FROM THE DEEP
NO FEAR IN YOUR MIND.
SMILE OF YOUR BARE HANDS.
STRETCH YOUR ARMS
THE BEST YOU CAN.
THE WEAK STEPS THAT YOU TAKE
AND THE SMILE OF
YOUR BARE HANDS.
STRETCH YOUR ARMS.
EVEN IF YOU LOSE YOUR WAY,
GO AHEAD GET TIED DOWN.
WHATEVER YOU FALL INTO,
YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN FEELINGS.
IF YOU CAN'T THINK OF TOMORROW,
DON'T BE AFRAID.
YOU CAN WALK ALONG
THE DEEP TRAIL OF SADNESS.
THE WEAK STEPS THAT YOU TAKE
SMILE OF YOUR BARE HANDS.
STRETCH YUR ARMS
THE BEST YOU CAN.
THE WEAK STEPS THAT YOU TAKE
AND THE SMILE OF
YOUR BARE HANDS.
STRETCH YOUR ARMS MUCH HIGHER.
THE DAYS WITHOUT SUNLIGHT,
GLOW IS GONE.
ONLY THOSE HANDS WITH NO LIGHT
WILL ANSWER.
YOUR HANDS WITH NO LIGHT,
ARE COMING ALONG TO.
THOSE HANDS WILL
BRING THE NEXT RESPONSE.
IF I HAVE TO REMAIN
YOU SHOULD GO YOUR OWN WAY.
WHENEVER YOU CAN'T LOOK AT ME
JUST BELIEVE YOURSELF.
EVEN IF I FEEL SO SAD,
WASH IT ALL AWAY.
YOU CAN CLIMB UP FROM THE DEEP
NO FEAR IN YOUR MIND.
GIVE ME YOUR SMILE AFTER
YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING.
YOU'RE RIGHT THERE,
IN THE MIDDLE.
GIVE ME SOME WORDS PLEASE,
AFTER EVERYTHING HAS GONE.
I KNOW AS I LOOK AT YOU.
GIVE ME YOUR SMILE AFTER
YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING.
GIVE ME SOME WORDS PLEASE,
AFTER EVERYTHING HAS GONE.
THOSE LONG THOUGHTS AFTER
THE END.
The lyrics of BRAHMAN's song "Z" urge the listener to pursue their own path, even if it means leaving the singer behind. The singer encourages the listener to trust in themselves and their own feelings, even if they can't see the singer anymore. The song expresses a sense of sadness, but also a willingness to let go of what's holding one back and move forward towards the unknown.
The singer acknowledges that the journey may be difficult and filled with sadness, but reminds the listener that they can overcome it. The imagery of "weak steps" and "bare hands" suggests that the listener may not have all the resources they need, but they can still make progress. The repeated line to "stretch your arms" suggests that the listener should do their best and reach as high as they can, even if they don't know what's ahead.
The second half of the song introduces the idea of hands "with no light" that will answer and bring the next response. It's unclear what this means, but it could suggest that even in darkness, there are things that will guide the way. The song ends with the singer asking for the listener's smile and words after everything has gone. This could be interpreted as a desire to see that the listener has made it through their journey and come out stronger on the other side.
