LAVENDER
BatAAr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's pretend it's for real
Here in this realm of lies
Would you trust yourself?
Let's pretend they believe you
Now, keep your mask on
Shining bright on this night
Though skies are falling
I hear you calling
Calling me to set you free
LAVENDER
Be my guide, be my light
My frozen fingers grasping on
Time shall never fade your name
LAVENDER
This, what I've become
This is where I belong
I am DIVINITY
ANOTHER LIE (AM I REAL?)
ANOTHER LIFE WASTED
ON CASTLES OF SMOKE
WITHOUT FIRE
The opening lines of BatAAr's song "LAVENDER" suggest a desire to escape reality and enter a world of make-believe. The singer urges the listener to join them in pretending that they are living a genuine life, despite being surrounded by deception and falsehoods. The next line, "Would you trust yourself?" raises the question of self-doubt and the difficulty of distinguishing between truth and lies. However, the singer encourages the listener to keep their mask on and pretend that others believe them.
The chorus features the titular flower, referenced as a guiding light shining amid the darkness. The singer hears Lavender calling out to them, urging them to set it free. Meanwhile, the singer's "frozen fingers" cling to Lavender, suggesting a sense of desperation and longing. The flower's name, which "time shall never fade," suggests its enduring presence and importance.
The final lines of the song suggest a sense of resignation, with the singer accepting their fate as "DIVINITY" but questioning the significance of their existence. The last three lines - "ANOTHER LIE (AM I REAL?) / ANOTHER LIFE WASTED / ON CASTLES OF SMOKE / WITHOUT FIRE" - express a sense of disillusionment and frustration with the world, hinting that the singer feels trapped in a meaningless and deceitful existence.
Line by Line Meaning
Let's pretend we live
Let's imagine that we are really alive
Let's pretend it's for real
Let's imagine that it's true and not just a fantasy
Here in this realm of lies
In this place where nothing is real, and everything is fake
Would you trust yourself?
Do you have the faith in yourself to believe what you see?
Let's pretend they believe you
Let's imagine that others trust and depend on you
Now, keep your mask on
Hide your true self, and pretend to be someone else
LAVENDER
A symbol of hope and strength that shows the way to freedom
Shining bright on this night
A beacon of light that illuminates the darkness
Though skies are falling
Even in the face of disaster and chaos
I hear you calling
I listen to your voice that guides me towards a better future
Calling me to set you free
Encouraging me to break free from my limitations and rise up
Be my guide, be my light
Help me find my way, and show me the path to righteousness
My frozen fingers grasping on
My last attempt to hold on, despite the coldness of the world
Time shall never fade your name
Your legacy will last forever and never be forgotten
This, what I've become
This is who I am now - a powerful force to be reckoned with
This is where I belong
In this world of falsehoods and illusions, I have found my place
I am DIVINITY
I have transcended the human condition and am divine
ANOTHER LIE (AM I REAL?)
Another deception that leaves me questioning my own existence
ANOTHER LIFE WASTED
Another futile attempt to find meaning and purpose
ON CASTLES OF SMOKE
Chasing after illusions and dreams that will never come true
WITHOUT FIRE
Without passion, or a driving force to keep pushing forward
