Fighting Jacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The narrow aisle so dim
Fluorescent light that echoes off the ceiling
Glass that speaks the light that tries to say
Bodies fall away with sleep disorder
The mother Mary weeps
Attack and thrust the verbal rust her children
Faith, seconds away a love cliche
Show me
(Find my way)
God sent me a message, find my way
Show me
(Find my way)
Show me
Find my way
Show me
Find my way
Show me
While my heart bleeds for you
Show me
(Find my way)
Show me
(I find my way)
Show me
(I find my)
Show me, show me
Show
Faith, seconds away a love cliche
Show me
(Find my way)
God sent me a message, find my way
Show me
(Find my way)
Show me
Find my way
Show me
Find my way
Show me
While my heart bleeds for you
The lyrics to Fighting Jacks's song, Chercher, paint a compelling picture of a person who feels lost and seeks direction. The first stanza describes an environment that is oppressive and monotonous, where tasks are assigned and completed without any sense of purpose. The scene is set with imagery of a narrow, dim aisle and fluorescent light that reflects off the ceiling as if mocking the people trapped in this space. The glass, which reflects the light, seems to be speaking an unspoken truth - that there must be more to life than this.
The second stanza delves deeper into the emotional toll of this existence, speaking of sleep disorders and a weeping Mary figure, possibly symbolizing the burdens that people carry with them. The use of the words "attack and thrust," "verbal rust," and "sorrow's wake" create a sense of overwhelming despair and hopelessness. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the chorus as the singer declares their willingness to find their way and the desire for God to send them a message. The repetition of "show me" and "find my way" reinforces the desperation of the situation, but also a willingness to keep searching for answers.
Overall, the lyrics of Chercher reveal a person who feels trapped in a meaningless existence and is searching for a way out. It speaks to the human need for purpose and direction, and the desire to connect with something larger than oneself.
