Incommunicado
Codeseven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She wondered how she
Someday might get a chance
To taste it
Trying harder, and never content
At least not till the last dime
The last dime is spent
*purposefully, as if it were the intent and the will of humanity*
How often can i say that i changed my ideas
While i'm counting butterflies
You will come in peace
To many lame excuses
*chorus*
*chorus* X 2
The lyrics to Codeseven's song Incommunicado seem to describe the yearning for something deeper in life, perhaps a more meaningful existence. The opening lines suggest that there are some places where this depth can be found, and the singer wonders how she might get a chance to experience it for herself. The next lines suggest that she is constantly trying harder and never content, always striving for more until the last dime is spent. This could be interpreted as a commentary on society's relentless pursuit of material wealth and success, never truly satisfied until everything has been achieved or acquired.
The repeated phrase "the last dime is spent" takes on a deeper meaning in the context of the lyrics. It seems to suggest that even when we've exhausted all our resources and reached the end of our journey, there is still a desire for something more. This is emphasized by the following lines, which describe this desire as "the intent and the will of humanity." The lyrics then shift to a more introspective tone, with the singer questioning how often they can say that they've truly changed their ideas or grown as a person. The line "while I'm counting butterflies" could be interpreted as a metaphor for being distracted by trivial things instead of focusing on personal growth.
The chorus is somewhat cryptic, with phrases like "you will come in peace" and "many lame excuses" leaving room for interpretation. It could be interpreted as a message about forgiveness, or perhaps a call to let go of past regrets and move forward towards a more enlightened way of being. Overall, the lyrics to Incommunicado seem to be about the human desire for something deeper and more meaningful in life, and the constant search for this elusive truth.
