Equations
Berry Weight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And two warm welcomes.
Make no equality
Like a pair of eyes that smile
And a mouth that speaks.
A sorrowful goodbye.
It's in these mindscapes
And equations I find
But sometimes I'm just fed up
With all the numbers said
When 2 times 1 makes 11 in my head
So maybe we could give
All the numbers
Colors instead
All my mindscapes
And equations and all
My solitary mood relations
Yet my lament is in numbers
Never to discuss
But always false or true
And in the end I realize
It's really all
Up to you
All my mindscapes
And equations and all
My solitary mood relations
The lyrics of Berry Weight's song "Equations" describe the conflicting and complex nature of the human psyche. The first lines, "Three closed doors and two warm welcomes, make no equality" suggest that there are different facets to a person's personality, and they don't always balance out. This is reinforced by the next line, "Like a pair of eyes that smile and a mouth that speaks, a sorrowful goodbye" which illustrates how one can feel happy and sad at the same time.
The lyrics then delve into the mind, describing how the singer finds solace in "mindscapes and equations", possibly suggesting that he uses his analytical mind to process his emotions. However, the line "when 2 times 1 makes 11 in my head" suggests that sometimes the numbers don't add up, and that logic and reason can't always explain what's going on internally. The solution, according to the singer, is to give numbers colors instead, which could indicate a desire to add more emotional depth to his analytical thinking.
