Between the Lines
Bonobo; Bajka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well we can't change the world
We sure can change the way we live
We can't only take
Also got to learn to give

People do wrong cause they don't understand
There's a book of truths
And a book of lies
Think with your heart
Read between the lines

Things aren't always how they seem
We've got to make the best of it
Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Sometimes we're blind
We can still see the truth

Well we can't change the world
We sure can change the way we live
We can't only take
Also got to learn to give

Sometimes you're lost
Sometimes you're blind




Think with your heart
Read between the lines

Overall Meaning

In "Between the Lines," Bonobo and Bajka explore the concept of personal responsibility and the power of individual actions to make a difference in the world. The lyrics highlight the idea that while we may not be able to change the entire world, we do have the ability to change the way we live and influence our immediate surroundings.


The song emphasizes the importance of balance and reciprocity in our interactions with others. It suggests that it's not enough to simply take from others; we also need to learn to give. This sentiment reflects a deeper understanding of empathy and compassion towards others.


The lyrics also touch upon the notion that people often do wrong because they lack understanding. The line "Think with your heart, read between the lines" encourages listeners to approach life with empathy and to delve beyond surface appearances to truly understand others. This ties in with the idea that things aren't always as they seem, and it is our responsibility to make the best of the situations we encounter.


In summary, "Between the Lines" is a call to action, urging individuals to take responsibility for their actions and make a positive impact on the world by thinking with their hearts, practicing empathy, and seeking the truth beyond what is superficially visible.
