Fragile Vastness Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Additional musicians: Themis Nikoloudis, Sophia]
I'm waiting for the sun to wake up with me
It's too late for the warmth to come inside
I feel the same like yesterday
Although my life is coming to an end
GOD, why did you give me cancer?..
If you're honest, then give me an answer
I'm God himself, the Satan too
Giving is a huge part of my being
[Chorus:]
God, why did you treat me like a punisher
Like a parent locking up his child in the basement
God, why did you let all the joy go to waste?
I'm sure you're hiding somewhere
Are you the one who created me?
Maybe I'm the one who created you
I'm going to find out even if I have to travel around the world
If you can hear me, know that I'm not afraid of you
I'm going to hurt you like you've already hurt me
All I want from you is a good conversation
[Chorus]
I'm leaving today,
I'll fly over Nasca
Till the people in this plane
Are staring at me like I'm insane
I'm leaving today,
I'll fly over Nasca
Till the people in this plane
Are staring at me like I'm insane
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics to Fragile Vastness's song "Somewhere" are a heart-wrenching reflection of the emotional turmoil experienced by someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. The opening lines describe the feeling of being trapped and waiting for something that may never come - in this case, the warmth of the sun. The singer feels as if their life is coming to an end, and yet they are greeted by a little smile that stretches their skin once again. This small moment of joy is juxtaposed against the weight of the singer's condition, and the feeling of being trapped in their own body.
The next stanza poses a question to God - why did you give me cancer? The singer is seeking an answer, but it's unclear whether they actually expect to receive one. There is a sense of frustration and anger that underlies this question, but it's also tempered by a sense of resolve. The singer seems to want to take control of their destiny, and they assert that they are "God himself, the Satan too." This line raises an interesting theological question - can we be both good and evil at the same time? The following stanza reiterates this sentiment by asserting that giving is a huge part of their being.
The chorus of the song is a pleading question to God: why did you treat me like a punisher? This line speaks to the idea that sometimes we feel as if God is punishing us, even when that may not be the case. The image of a parent locking up their child in the basement is a powerful and disturbing one, and it speaks to the feeling of being trapped that the singer clearly feels. The final lines of the song are a powerful declaration of independence - the singer is leaving today and flying over Nasca. They don't care if people think they're insane - they're on a quest to find answers and to hurt God like he's already hurt them.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm waiting for the sun to wake up with me
I am searching for motivation to begin a new day
It's too late for the warmth to come inside
I am feeling emotionally cold and empty
I feel the same like yesterday
I am feeling stuck in a cycle of monotony
Although my life is coming to an end
Despite being aware of my own mortality
A little smile stretches my skin again
I try to find happiness in small things and moments
God, why did you give me cancer?..
Questioning the fairness of life and feeling a lack of control
If you're honest, then give me an answer
Seeking clarity and truth in the face of adversity
I'm God himself, the Satan too
Acknowledging both the good and evil within oneself
Giving is a huge part of my being
Finding purpose in helping others
God, why did you treat me like a punisher
Feeling punished and misunderstood by a higher power
Like a parent locking up his child in the basement
Feeling confined and trapped in a difficult situation
God, why did you let all the joy go to waste?
Questioning why moments of happiness seem fleeting and unfulfilling
I'm sure you're hiding somewhere
Feeling disconnected from a higher power
Maybe I'm the one who created you
Questioning the existence and power of a higher power
I'm going to find out even if I have to travel around the world
Determined to find answers and meaning in life
If you can hear me, know that I'm not afraid of you
Asserting strength and confidence in the face of adversity
I'm going to hurt you like you've already hurt me
Vowing to fight and overcome difficult circumstances
All I want from you is a good conversation
Desiring open and honest communication with a higher power
I'm leaving today, I'll fly over Nasca
Seeking escape and freedom from current circumstances
Till the people in this plane are staring at me like I'm insane
Feeling misunderstood and alone in one's struggle
God, why did you treat me like a punisher
Feeling punished and misunderstood by a higher power
Like a parent locking up his child in the basement
Feeling confined and trapped in a difficult situation
God, why did you let all the joy go to waste?
Questioning why moments of happiness seem fleeting and unfulfilling
I'm sure you're hiding somewhere
Feeling disconnected from a higher power
