Transparent
Elysion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I'm sitting
One step too far
For you I'm reaching, my falling star

So out of words
So full of wounds
I wander here, among my ruins
Is this what we fear, what we have become?
Is this what we are?

Come take me back, carry me home
Unbreak my heart, conscience is gone
Come end the rain, for all I know
Among the teardrops I can't reach
Can't see your transparent love

Here I'm sitting




One step too far
For you I'm reaching, my falling star

Overall Meaning

The song "Transparent" by Elysion is a melancholic ballad about the singer's inability to connect with someone they love. The lyrics describe the singer's feeling of being one step too far away from the person they desire, and their frustration with being unable to bridge that gap. The imagery of a falling star suggests that the singer sees their love as something beautiful and rare, but also fleeting and impossible to grasp.


The second half of the first verse shifts into a more introspective tone, as the singer describes themselves as "out of words" and "full of wounds." They feel lost and alone among their "ruins," implying that they may have experienced some personal hardship or emotional trauma. The chorus further highlights the singer's sense of longing and despair, as they plead for their heart to be unbroken and for the rain to stop falling. The final line, "Can't see your transparent love," adds a layer of complexity to the song's central theme. Here, the word "transparent" is not used as a positive quality, but rather as a negative one. The singer feels like they cannot see or understand the love that the other person is offering them.


Overall, "Transparent" is a powerful and emotional song that touches on themes of love, loss, and desperation. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the tone and imagery paint a vivid picture of the singer's inner turmoil.
