Axiom
Cyanotic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A bitter sense of bliss
So easy to dismiss
Cast away the remaining doubts
And repeating all the faults in me, me, me, me...

Open eyes begin to strain
Upon recalling all the pain
My thoughts begin to blur
As it all becomes so absurd to me, me, me, me...
To me, me, me, me, me, me...
To me

Reflecting on the past
In times of haunting regrets
I can barely begin to stand
On my own two feet again

The weight of worry brings me
Down to my knees
With every passing thought
Comes a wavering of ease

A fading reminder
Of all that's beautiful
A fading reminder
Of all that's beautiful
In you
(In you)




In you
(In you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Cyanotic's song Axiom are reminiscent of the struggle between self-deprecation and the quest for self-acceptance. The opening lines of the song, "A bitter sense of bliss, so easy to dismiss, cast away the remaining doubts, and repeating all the faults in me," suggest the singer is struggling with a sense of comfort in their flaws, which makes it difficult for them to overcome them. The repetition of "me" indicates an intense focus on one's self and one's perceived shortcomings.


The second verse continues the introspection, "Reflecting on the past, in times of haunting regrets, I can barely begin to stand on my own two feet again." The singer is being weighed down by guilt and shame, and it's taking a toll on their mental state. The chorus includes the lines, "the weight of worry brings me down to my knees, with every passing thought comes a wavering of ease." The singer's anxiety is causing physical anguish and is making it hard to find any peace of mind.


Despite the bleakness of the lyrics, there's a glimmer of hope found in the closing lines, "a fading reminder of all that's beautiful in you." The singer recognizes that despite their faults and regrets, there is still beauty in the world around them, and potentially within themselves. Ultimately, the song feels like a vulnerable exploration of self-doubt and the struggle to find self-love.
