First Signal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only what educe to see
And what you believe
Everything i am,
Nothing fits in that frame
And it s all for nothing
Turnin look the other way
If you're looking for someone to hate
You should know,
You can try to roll me down
But you will never win me over
For things you do I come around
For every guilt you throw my way
It's coming back into one day
Karma
Through my eyes I've seen
All the things you can be
And I've had enough of
Promises broken
Nothing left to hold on to
Leave your words unspoken
And dont try to tell me you've changed
Cause underneath you're still the same
If you're still looking for someone to play
Don't you know?
You can try to roll me down
But you will never win me over
For things you do I come around
For every guilt you throw my way
It's coming back into one day
Karma
...(karma )
You can try to roll me down
But you will never win me over
For things you do I come around
For every guilt you throw my way
It's coming back into one day
Karma
Karma!
The lyrics of First Signal's song Karma depict a situation where one person is trying to change or hate another person. The first stanza refers to the narrow-mindedness of the person judging the other- seeing only what they want to see and believing only what suits their preconceived notions. The second stanza refers to the frustration of the other person who is unable to fit into the frame or the expectations of the person judging them. However, they decide it's all for nothing and it's not worth trying to change their perspective.
The chorus seems to be a message to the person trying to bring the other person down. Karma is a term used to describe the concept of cause and effect or actions and consequences. The person being judged decides to take a higher road and not stoop down to that level. They know they can't win over the judgmental person, but they also believe that karma will take care of them. The final lines of the chorus seem to be an ominous warning to the judgmental person- "For every guilt you throw my way, it's coming back into one day".
Overall, the song is a powerful message against hate and judging people based on superficial things. It encourages people to take a higher road and believe in the concept of karma, where one's actions will eventually catch up with them.
