Dr. Obvious Pörinäe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rise in the morning, oh sleepy
The clouds in sky, unknown and untied
A reason for reasons you die
The eye of the storm beware beware and still there's a thrill in the air
Unbearable Why
Rise in the morning oh sleepy, dream on
The clouds in sky, alone and untied
A reason for reasons you die
The eye of the storm beware beware
And still there's a thrill in the air
Unbearable Why
While I'm doing time therefore now I'm not guilty
Sun rise up in the morning what a dream oh so sleepy
Lying in letters to someone I don't know
Like an old song in the waiting for something from the past
So long from now
The lyrics of Dr. Obvious Pörinäe's song Y evoke a sense of imprisonment, guilt, and uncertainty amidst the beauty of the natural world. The repetition of "I'm doing time, I'm guilty" reinforces the theme of punishment and remorse, while "rise in the morning, oh sleepy" hints at the monotony and despair of being confined. The "clouds in sky unknown and untied" serve as a metaphor for the unknown and unpredictable nature of fate, which leads to "reasons you die." The phrase "unbearable Why" may refer to the existential anguish and senselessness of our existence.
However, towards the end of the song, there is a shift in mood and perspective. The singer declares that "while I'm doing time therefore now I'm not guilty," suggesting a possible release from their sentence or a change in mentality. The repetition of "sun rise up in the morning what a dream oh so sleepy" feels more hopeful and peaceful than earlier, and the reference to "lying in letters to someone I don't know" adds a layer of mystery and longing. The final line, "like an old song in the waiting for something from the past, so long from now" leaves the meaning open-ended, but could imply a quest for closure, redemption, or nostalgia.
