Unperfect Sky
Elemental Gaze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And people just forgot
Some people try hard, to wake up in this age
To take back their life
And in this "normal" rule, i just can′t believe that was so cruel
Some people get slaved, the field just like a graveyard for all desire
The boss's always said, come and get your needs in my corporate
To be tired by works, and live within the emptiness, (i mean) lonely heart
Let's stop the works in their fields now...
Perfect sky
(Unperfect sky without your smile)
In the start of the song "Unperfect Sky" by Elemental Gaze, the lyrics refer to the forgotten glory of the past, which seems to have vanished into obscurity. The singer mentions that some people try hard to regain control over their lives in this modern age, which is full of uncertainty and chaos. However, it is difficult to break away from the norm and the systematic enslavement that has come to dominate society. There is a feeling of despair and depression as the singer depicts the workplace as a graveyard for all desires, with the boss enticing the workers to fulfill their needs in exchange for a life of loneliness and emptiness.
The lyrics capture the struggle of modern society and the everyday monotony that has become characteristic of today's work culture. The song is a call to stop and take a stand, to break away from the cycle of unhappiness and societal expectations that have enslaved us. The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of a perfect sky, a metaphor for a happy and fulfilling life, and this is contrasted with the unperfect sky that appears bleak and dreary without someone's smile. Overall, the song is a reflection of the struggles that are faced in modern society, and a plea for a brighter tomorrow.
