Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thats when I get in a hurry
I don't know why I always worry
Wish that things would start to change
And rearrange
The way that everything is looking is derange
Are we to blame
I ask the same
Cause everyone is dopamine deprived
And everyone has feeling that they hide
And everyone has a dark side
But no one wants to confess it to light
Live a-little die a-little
(all right, all right)
Live a-little learn a-little
(all right, all right)
Live a-little fight a-little
(all right, all right)
Live a little Life a-little
(all right, all right)
I don't understand how to play the game
And I already declared i'm insane
I don't have a problem being the same
Everyday of my life
But i don't wanna stay here
with the world In the way that its always gonna be
Before we use to wear mask just to entertain
But now we wear mask just to stay safe so they say
If you call this living your life
And you don't wanna ever think twice
And you listen to everyones advice
Than you lack what you need to survive
Do you really wanna stay blind
I think that we should just open our eyes
They tryna take everything from our life
And your letting them
So you just stay shy
Live a-little die a-little
(all right, all right)
Live a-little learn a-little
(all right, all right)
Live a-little fight a-little
(all right, all right)
Live a little Life a-little
(all right, all right)
The lyrics of "Mercury" by FROM SOFTWARE/D&C Inc delve into themes of personal introspection, societal conformity, and the struggle to maintain authenticity in a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain. The singer acknowledges periods in life when things become hazy and overwhelming, leading to a sense of urgency and worry. This sentiment of wanting change and a different perspective on the world is reflected in the desire to rearrange the current state of affairs. The word "derange" suggests a feeling of disarray or disorder, highlighting the singer's frustration with the status quo.
The lyrics also touch upon the universal human experiences of internal struggles and emotional vulnerability. The mention of feeling dopamine deprived and hiding emotions implies a sense of disconnectedness and inner turmoil that many people can relate to. The acknowledgment of a dark side within everyone speaks to the complexities of human nature and the tendency to conceal our true selves for fear of judgment or rejection. The reluctance to confront these darker aspects in the light symbolizes the pervasive culture of suppression and conformity.
The repetition of the phrase "Live a-little die a-little" followed by variations like "learn a-little" and "fight a-little" suggests a mantra for navigating life's challenges and uncertainties. It conveys a message of embracing both the highs and lows, the victories and defeats that come with living authentically. The singer questions the rules of the game and openly declares their perceived insanity, rejecting societal norms and expectations in favor of self-awareness and individuality.
Furthermore, the lyrics criticize a society that promotes complacency and conformity over genuine self-expression and critical thinking. The idea of wearing masks for entertainment versus for safety serves as a metaphor for the evolving nature of societal expectations and personal freedoms. The call to open our eyes and resist the forces that seek to control or manipulate us resonates with a plea for self-empowerment and rebellion against societal constraints. Ultimately, the song urges listeners to challenge the status quo, embrace their inner truths, and strive for a life that is lived with intention and authenticity amidst a world that often demands conformity.

Previously, we wore masks for amusement and not out of necessity
But now we wear mask just to stay safe so they say
Currently, masks are worn for protection and safety reasons
If you call this living your life
If this is what you consider to be living
And you don't wanna ever think twice
And you never want to reconsider your choices
And you listen to everyones advice
And you always follow the advice of others
Than you lack what you need to survive
Then you are missing the necessary tools for survival
Do you really wanna stay blind
Are you truly content with remaining ignorant?
I think that we should just open our eyes
I believe it is time for us to see things clearly
They tryna take everything from our life
There are forces attempting to strip away our livelihood
And your letting them
And you are allowing them to do so
So you just stay shy
Thus, you remain passive and reserved
