Little Voice
Future myth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little voice, I hear what you're after
Let me into your dreams
So I can see what you see
Our simple reflections
Open-eyed. Let your thoughts refine
And you'll know that we're just strangers
But we're better. We should know by now
In our world, we can imagine
That we're sane. We're not indifferent
We hold our innocence in the palms of our hands
It's our secret light that we've been burning out
We've been spreading lies
These tough times break out our desperate lives
And we know at last we're just dreamers
We give and try, but we should have realized
That we're older. We should have learned by now
We take our chances
So we can see if we know ourselves
And our friends turn their heads away
But we would do it again
Again
The lyrics to "Little Voice" by Future myth explore the concept of self-discovery and the struggle between conforming to societal expectations and staying true to oneself. The song begins with the singer addressing a "little voice," symbolizing their inner thoughts and desires. The singer acknowledges and understands what this voice is seeking, inviting it to share its dreams and perspectives with them. The phrase "our simple reflections" suggests that these inner thoughts are mirrors of our true selves.
The next verse emphasizes the idea of being aware and conscious of our thoughts. By refining our thoughts, we realize that we are all strangers to each other, living in a world of pretense. The line "we're living lies, pretending to be blind" suggests that people often hide their true selves and deny their own authenticity. However, the singer believes that they should be aware of this deception and strive for self-awareness.
In the chorus, the lyrics propose that within our own imaginary world, we can find sanity amidst the chaos. Our innocence is something precious that we hold within our hands, but there is a sense of secrecy and vulnerability as the line "our secret light that we've been burning out" implies. The song suggests that we have been spreading lies, possibly to protect ourselves or conform to societal expectations.
The second verse reflects on the challenging times we face and the realization that we are simply dreamers. The singer acknowledges their efforts to give and try, but laments that they should have learned from their past experiences and grown wiser. The lyrics convey a sense of maturity and self-reflection.
The song ends with a declaration that despite the judgment of others, the singer and their companions would still take chances and continue to search for self-understanding. This hints at the resilience and determination to stay true to oneself, regardless of external pressures.
Overall, "Little Voice" encourages introspection, self-discovery, and staying true to one's inner voice even in a world tainted by lies and conformity.

Go back to your home
Retreat to the place where you feel safe and comfortable
Little voice, I hear what you're after
I understand your desires and aspirations
Let me into your dreams
Allow me to understand your innermost thoughts and wishes
So I can see what you see
So I can gain insight into your perspective and experiences
Our simple reflections
Our shared perceptions and observations
Open-eyed. Let your thoughts refine
Be aware and introspective, allowing your thoughts to become more focused and clear
And you'll know that we're just strangers
You'll come to realize that we are unfamiliar to each other
We're living lies, pretending to be blind
We're deceiving ourselves, pretending not to see the truth
But we're better. We should know by now
However, we should have already recognized our own worth
In our world, we can imagine
Within our own reality, we have the power to envision
That we're sane. We're not indifferent
That we possess sanity and are not apathetic
We hold our innocence in the palms of our hands
We have the ability to preserve our purity and naivety
It's our secret light that we've been burning out
It's the concealed optimism that we've been gradually extinguishing
We've been spreading lies
We've been propagating falsehoods
These tough times break out our desperate lives
These difficult circumstances reveal the desperation within our existence
And we know at last we're just dreamers
And finally, we acknowledge that we are mere idealists
We give and try, but we should have realized
We offer our efforts and attempt, but we should have recognized
That we're older. We should have learned by now
That we have gained experience and wisdom over time
We take our chances
We seize opportunities
So we can see if we know ourselves
In order to discover if we truly understand our own identities
And our friends turn their heads away
And our companions avert their gaze
But we would do it again
Nevertheless, we would repeat our actions
Again
Once more, as we have done before
