Cartel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are we dull or glorious?
Am I on the way down
Or is it the same thing twice?
Oh, it feels so nice
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby is better when you
Come and see, baby is better this way
Oh, baby, its better this way
Well, is this real or is this insanity?
Or is fate or is it clarity?
Am I on the way down
Or is it the same thing twice?
Oh, it feels so nice
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby is better when you
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby is better this way
We can say this and even out
We're waiting on a ride home
If you could make me feel at home,
Maybe we can go there, can we go there?
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby is better when you
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better this way
It's better this way
The lyrics to Cartel's song "No Subject" seem to center around the theme of uncertainty and confusion. The singer questions whether their reality is real or insane, whether they are headed down or experiencing something twice. Despite this confusion, the chorus repeats a plea for someone to come with them and see that things are better that way.
The opening lines of "Is it me or is it all of us?" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer wonders whether they are alone in their uncertainty or if everyone else is also feeling it. The repeated question of whether they are headed down or experiencing the same thing twice adds another layer of confusion to the lyrics. The chorus, with its repeated entreaty for someone to come along and see that things are better this way, is the only clear directive in the song.
Overall, the lyrics to "No Subject" paint a picture of someone feeling lost and uncertain, but still seeking human connection and reassurance that everything will be okay. The song's structure, with the repeated questions and chorus, emphasizes the singer's uncertainty and search for clarity and comfort.
