Exposure
Dream Atlantic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn?t make much sense
To go around fearing the world you created
It?s a simple niche
Limp body, left to fill it.
And all this talk of perfection
Is defining your actions
It takes a toll on you
Never cloud the images of ones
You?re trying to remember
It?s all a matter of opinion
So much can change when comfort kicks in
Stop searching souls for soulless companions
The misdirected audience
Gets stranded in the fire
If it ever comes, times are changing
Innocent ones
So, take it for what it?s worth
And be grateful for it
Will never come
As expected
Let?s set the stage
And kill the lights
The sand sifts through your fingers
It?s chipping at the bone
A life slowly remembered
That fabricates the soul
It?s a simple niche
With, Limp body, left
To fill it.
The lyrics to Dream Atlantic's song Exposure delve into themes of self-doubt, the search for identity, and the importance of staying true to oneself. The lyrics encourage the listener to reject the notion of perfection and the fear that comes with trying to live up to it. The opening lines advise the listener against fearing the world they have created, and are followed by a description of the human body as a "simple niche" that is filled with a "limp body." The song then goes on to critique the idea of perfection and how it can define one's actions and take a toll on them.
The song then moves on to urge the listener to not judge others based on their opinions, and to recognize that "so much can change when comfort kicks in." The lyrics caution against searching for meaningful connections with people who are soulless and instead, embrace the innocence of life and be grateful for what it brings. The chorus "Let's set the stage/And kill the lights/The sand sifts through your fingers/It's chipping at the bone/A life slowly remembered/That fabricates the soul" is an introspective look at the fleeting nature of life and the importance of living it authentically.
Line by Line Meaning
Listen Up!
Pay attention
It doesn?t make much sense
It's illogical
To go around fearing the world you created
It's pointless to be afraid of your own creation
It?s a simple niche
Life is uncomplicated
Limp body, left to fill it.
We have to fill life with our own actions
And all this talk of perfection
Perfection is subjective and affects our actions
Is defining your actions
Our perception of perfection determines how we behave
It takes a toll on you
It's exhausting
Never cloud the images of ones
Don't distort memories of people
You?re trying to remember
That you want to keep in mind
It?s all a matter of opinion
There's no objective truth
So much can change when comfort kicks in
We become complacent and stop growing
Stop searching souls for soulless companions
Don't settle for people who don't fulfill you
The misdirected audience
People who don't know what they want
Gets stranded in the fire
They're left out in the danger
If it ever comes, times are changing
Time brings change
Innocent ones
People who haven't lost their curiosity and wonder
So, take it for what it?s worth
Appreciate what you have
And be grateful for it
Be thankful for what you've received
Will never come
It's impossible to obtain
As expected
Life doesn't always work out as we plan
Let?s set the stage
It's time to start
And kill the lights
Leave the past behind
The sand sifts through your fingers
Time is fleeting
It?s chipping at the bone
It's taking a toll on our physical and mental well-being
A life slowly remembered
Taking time to reflect on one's life
That fabricates the soul
Our experiences and memories shape who we are
It?s a simple niche
Life is uncomplicated
With, Limp body, left
We have the power to make something out of nothing
To fill it.
To give it purpose and meaning
