Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E.K.'s song Passion are thought-provoking and seem to explore the concept of empty words and actions. The first two lines of the song refer to empty prayer and empty mouths, which can be interpreted as people saying and doing things without any real meaning or intention behind them. The line "talk about the passion" may be an invitation or a challenge to actually discuss something meaningful and authentic rather than just going through the motions.


The repetition of the phrase "not everyone can carry the weight of the world" suggests that there are some burdens that are too heavy for some people to bear. The following lines may be implying that talking about passion is one way to alleviate the feeling of being weighed down or overwhelmed by the world. The French phrase "combien de temps" (how long) at the end of each verse raises questions about the duration or longevity of these empty actions and conversations.


Overall, the lyrics of Passion encourage the listener to think critically about the authenticity of their words and actions, and to consider the importance of passion and meaning in their lives.
