Chicosci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Resurrection
Tear these walls down
Resurrection
Come at me with knives
Dissect my insides
Blunt as they are
Your own creation
Lead them to your flock
I will listen
To your noises
In the crowd you scream
With the perfect dream
For a moment
You're the king of everything
Undeserved success
Skillfully expressed
Walk the narrow
Unnecessary
Could you ever find
Something real and mine
Will you ever find
You remain inside
Come at me with knives
Dissect my insides
Blunt as they are
Your own creation
Stand on your soapbox
Lead them to your flock
I will listen
No more
Could you ever find
Something real and mine
Could you ever find
You remain inside
Push the walls down
Resurrection
Tear these walls down
Resurrection
The lyrics to Chicosci's "Solution Cairo" speak of breaking down walls and finding one's own truth. The repeated phrase "Push the walls down, Resurrection" symbolizes the idea of tearing down the barriers that prevent personal growth and transformation. The lyrics go on to describe the pressure of conforming to societal expectations, with lines such as "Stand on your soapbox, lead them to your flock," and the frustration of feeling trapped in a false sense of success or achievement.
The lines "Come at me with knives, dissect my insides / Blunt as they are, your own creation" speak to the idea of facing criticism and scrutiny, even from oneself, and the realization that these judgments are often based on one's own creations and perceptions. The final stanza repeats the question "Could you ever find something real and mine," emphasizing the search for true authenticity and individuality.
