Gemini
FewJar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What have we done?
Composing lifelines
Always won
Don't you know where we came from
Where all began
We settled down by the blackbirds bones
Found home
Cover up your eyes
Gotta dream two sides
Under us it relights
Our construct of lies
It doesn't matter at all
God, it makes no difference to me
'Cause there's no feeling that's bold enough
For you to believe our time is here
Stop trying to tell me you're not mine
Gemini
Tell me what you've done
You've been composing lifelines
Always won, but
Don't you know where we came from
Where all began
We settled down by the blackbirds bones
Found home
Cover up your eyes
Gotta dream two sides
Under us it relies
Our construct of lies
It doesn't matter at all
God, it makes no difference to me
'Cause there's no feeling that's bold enough
For you to believe our time is here
Stop trying to tell me you're not mine
Gemini
God, it makes no difference to me
'Cause there's no sign which is proof enough
For you to believe our world is real
Don't leave me back here
Releasing our ties
Gemini
The song "Gemini" by FewJar is a song that speaks to the idea of duality within one's self. The lyrics speak to the scars that we all have as humans and how we are constantly trying to compose lifelines to win in life. However, the chorus speaks to this idea of a split personality, represented by the Gemini sign. The singer pleads with the other side of themselves, telling them to stop trying to deny that they are a part of them. The idea of blackbird bones and settling down implies that the singer has found a home within themselves, but there is still struggle and denial from the other side.
The lyric "cover up your eyes, gotta dream two sides" is a powerful way of expressing how a person can contain multitudes, with different dreams and aspirations on either side of themselves. The song also speaks to humanity's struggle with truth and lies, where the construct of lies is something we rely on and believe in, even though we know it's not necessarily true. The song speaks to the idea of the Gemini being the bridge, the one who can see both sides and understand the complexity of the human experience.
