Black Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alone in your favorite restaurant
But the stool next to you is vacant
You're standing on the edge
You looking down on everyone
And wondering who loves you
You cherished all the birthday cards
You saved since you were a kid
But some things can never change, so just get used to it
Some people never change, they're incapable of it
They're all full of it
You're standing on the edge
You looking down on everyone
And wondering who loves you?
When you scream
(You're standing on the edge
Looking down on everyone)
That you're scared
(You're standing on the edge
Looking down on everyone)
We are the ones that
Break down from the hopelessness
You're standing on the edge
You looking down on everyone
And wondering who loves you?
When I do
When I do
When I do
Some things never change
(Some things can never change)
(Some things can never change)
When I do
The song "Organs" by Black Maria presents a melancholic and lonely image, with the character of the song sitting in a favorite restaurant, but feeling entirely alone despite being surrounded by people. The lyrics describe the person standing on the edge, looking down on everyone, and wondering who loves them. It is a common feeling to be surrounded by people and still feel lonely, as if nobody understands or cares for us.
The character in the song has been holding onto birthday cards since they were a kid, demonstrating how they have yearned for connections and love from a young age. However, the song suggests that some people never change and are incapable of changing, and emphasizes that some people are just full of it. The repeated phrase of "you're standing on the edge, looking down on everyone" captures a sense of isolation and dissatisfaction with life.
Ultimately, the song seems to be about struggling with loneliness and trying to find meaning in a world where it feels like nobody cares. The character is searching for someone to love them but has come to the realization that some things can never change, and they need to get used to it. The repeated line of "when I do" almost serves as a plea to someone who might come and love them, highlighting the desperate need for connection.
