Faraquet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then to breathe in
Position ideology
With no substance
What's in a word
Deserves new meaning
Terror flown high
Single file
Existence
For kid doing bom with open arms
Could make us feel dead
We've been killing for
One last fillet pig
Taunt me
Save me
Answer quietly
Fate of
Flown high

Existence
The Fourth Introduction by Faraquet is a song that brings up a lot of questions about what constitutes a meaningful existence. The opening lines "You sink to a re-breathe / Then to breathe in" suggest a feeling of suffocation, perhaps from the weight of societal expectations or personal insecurities. The following lines touch upon the idea of "position ideology / With no substance" which can be interpreted as people holding onto certain beliefs or values without really understanding what they mean or why they matter. This lack of substance begs the question "what's in a word / Deserves new meaning" - is it possible to inject new life and relevance into words and concepts that have lost their significance over time?
The song then shifts focus to acts of violence and terror, with "Terror flown high / Single file / Existence" painting a bleak picture of humanity. The line "For kid doing bom with open arms / Could make us feel dead" is particularly haunting, highlighting the way that violence can destroy both the victim and the perpetrator. The final stanza repeats the phrase "Flown high / Single file / Existence" and adds the words "Fate of" which suggests that our existence is predetermined in some way, subject to the whims of fate. The plea to "Taunt me / Save me / Answer quietly" perhaps reflects a sense of desperation or confusion in the face of these heavy themes.
