Vital Signs
Excuse Me Moses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
two in a row won't fall behind
if three of four knew what to do
anyone could find the clue
you've got five fingers on each hand to show
infinite people what you're for sanctified of seven sins
the 8 ball can change everything
today I need a place to hide
so could you please check my vital signs
I'm cracking up see I've lost my will to try
the future's past already by
Be glad that you've got a place to be
know about your simplicity
you're just another freak in here
you better face the facts my dear
you've got so much to show but noone sees
everyone fights and disagrees glorified remaining days
the 8 ball can change everything
today I need a place to hide
so could you please check my vital signs
I'm cracking up see I've lost my will to try
the future's past already by
Today, check my vital signs
These lyrics from Excuse Me Moses's song Vital Signs appear to be a commentary on the complexities of life and the struggle to find meaning and purpose. The opening lines, "One in a million loves to find, two in a row won't fall behind," suggest the rarity of true love or success, while the following lyric, "if three or four knew what to do, anyone could find the clue," implies that if we all worked together, we could achieve our goals.
The reference to the "five fingers on each hand" suggests that we each have the power to make a difference and influence others, which is echoed in the lines "know about your simplicity, you're just another freak in here." The song seems to suggest that even though we are all unique and special in our own way, we are also part of a larger community and should work together to create a better world.
The refrain, "today I need a place to hide, so could you please check my vital signs, I'm cracking up see I've lost my will to try, the future's past already by," conveys a sense of frustration and hopelessness, indicating that despite our best efforts, we may feel overwhelmed or defeated. However, the reference to the "8 ball" suggests that there is always a chance for things to change and that we should remain hopeful.
Overall, these lyrics appear to be an insightful commentary on the complexities of life and the human experience, encouraging us to work together, stay hopeful, and never give up.
