White Noise
Ella Vos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pushing against the grain
Watch the clock tick and fade
Pray for a different scene
We can ask but won't receive

But you apologize over and over
You don't want to hear
Cause it's all white noise swallowing me
Taking your high horse and I'll be free
Cause it's all white noise swallowing me
Maybe we'll know why eventually

We see through the stars
Burning in the atmosphere
Down on the boulevard
Tell me what I want to hear

But you apologize over and over
You don't want to know

Cause it's all white noise swallowing me
Taking your high horse and I'll be free
Cause it's all white noise swallowing me
Maybe we'll know why eventually
Cause it's all white noise swallowing me

Cause it's all white noise swallowing me
Taking your high horse and I'll be free




Cause it's all white noise swallowing me
Maybe we'll know why eventually

Overall Meaning

In Ella Vos's song "White Noise" the lyrics describe the feeling of being overwhelmed and suffocated by the noise and chaos of life. The first few lines convey a sense of hopelessness and resignation, as the singer pushes against the grain and watches time slip away, hoping for a change but feeling like their prayers will go unanswered. Despite this despair, the person they are addressing apologizes over and over, seeming to want to make things better but not really understanding the depth of the singer's pain.


The chorus repeats the phrase "it's all white noise," emphasizing the feeling of everything blending together and becoming meaningless. The singer wants to break free from this noise and chaos, describing their desire to "take your high horse and be free." The second verse brings in a theme of longing, as the singer looks up at the stars and wishes for someone to tell them what they want to hear. But again, the person they are addressing apologizes without truly addressing the root of the issue.


The song ends on a somewhat hopeful note with the repetition of the chorus, but with the addition of the phrase "maybe we'll know why eventually." This line suggests that even if the singer doesn't currently understand the purpose of the noise and chaos in their life, there may be a reason for it that will become clear in time.


Overall, "White Noise" is a powerful representation of the feeling of being trapped by the overwhelming chaos of life, but still maintaining hope that there is a reason for it all.
