No Transmission
Endanger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're losing your strength
As you look at the stars
They're shining brighter than this

You're in touch with the sun
And God has become
Really meaningless
No transmission lights up your face
No ignition; you're caught in the upper rooms
And you're receiving only silence
There's no signal that ever reaches you


You're holding your breath
As you come closer to Mars
And your lips are starting to pray

You are trying to get
Into contact with Earth
But you are too far away





(chorus)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "No Transmission" by Endanger reflect a feeling of isolation and disconnection from the world. The singer is losing their strength as they gaze upon the stars, feeling overwhelmed by the brightness of the universe. Despite being in touch with the sun, the singer finds that God is meaningless, suggesting a loss of faith or spirituality.


The chorus, "No transmission lights up your face, no ignition; you're caught in the upper rooms and you're receiving only silence," paints a picture of complete detachment from the world. The singer is unable to receive any transmissions or signals, leaving them alone in their own thoughts and devoid of external influences. Even as they come closer to Mars, they find themselves too far away from Earth to make any meaningful contact.


The lyrics evoke a sense of existential dread, highlighting the unbridgeable gap between humans and the vastness of the universe. In a world where we can feel so small and insignificant, it is easy to feel disconnected and alone. "No Transmission" captures this feeling of loneliness and the struggle to find meaning in the face of the enormity of existence.
