This Is
Filah Lah Lah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything about you was imperfect
Your spirit contorted
Yet so far from a perversion
Come back to me, come back to me
Come back to your eden
Come share a drink, come share a drink
This is where it all begins
Carnal dancing of the damned
The true burden of a man
And a lifetime to expand
This is where it all begins
This is where we go
To feel alive
But this is also where we go
When we wanna die
This is where it all begins
This is where we go
To feel alive
But this is also where we go
When we wanna die
In this song, Filah Lah Lah observes someone who is imperfect, perhaps with a troubled spirit. Despite any perceived imperfections or contortions, he encourages this person to come back to him, to their own personal Eden. The imagery of Eden is significant, as it represents a paradise and a sense of wholeness or completeness. The lyrics also reference a drink, which could symbolize comfort, solace, or finding peace in the midst of hardship.
The chorus describes a place where everything begins, a place of both pleasure and pain. The phrase "carnal dancing of the damned" invokes an image of sinful behavior, but also suggests the intensity and rhythm of a wild dance. The line "the true burden of a man" implies that the singer recognizes the difficulty and responsibility inherent in being human. The final two lines are poignant and somewhat contradictory - this is a place where people come to feel alive, but also where they may come to escape or end their lives.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the contradictory nature of human existence - the pursuit of pleasure, the experience of pain, the desire for connection and the struggle to find it. It acknowledges that life can be messy and imperfect, but also highlights the potential for hope and redemption.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw you that day
On that day, I caught a glimpse of you
Everything about you was imperfect
Every feature, every aspect of you was flawed, uncertain, and incomplete
Your spirit contorted
Your very soul twisted and distorted with inner turmoil
Yet so far from a perversion
But despite your imperfections, you were still far from a deviant or immoral person
Come back to me, come back to me
Please return to my side, come back to me
Come back to your eden
Come back to the paradise that was once in your grasp
Come share a drink, come share a drink
Join me in drinking, and become intoxicated with me
With your favorite heathen
In the company of your favorite rebel, sinner or outcast
This is where it all begins
This is the starting point, where everything begins
Carnal dancing of the damned
A lustful and sinful dance performed by the doomed and condemned
The true burden of a man
The actual burden that afflicts all people, particularly men
And a lifetime to expand
A lifetime to grow, develop, and explore life's potential
This is where we go
This is where we journey to
To feel alive
In order to experience and feel truly alive
But this is also where we go
However, this is likewise where we direct ourselves
When we wanna die
When we seek release from the struggles of life and desire to end our existence
