The Vague Archive
Grammatics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bathe me in it's milk light, wrap me in cocoon.
Leave me there all seasons, let me stay and change,
Drinking in the sunshine, cry it out as rain.
Sewing up the seams, step into character,
Trip onto the stage, over my words.
Waiting for the moment, waiting for your looks,
I fly through summer let the seasons change,
Drink in the sunlight; cry it out as rain.
I fly through summer let the seasons change,
How life is just a big game.
You'll see what I become, I'll see what I became,
How nothing can now be the same again.
Take my hand I'll show you a lifetime of days, years.
I'll leave your blood singing.
I'm bathing in the milk light.
Over and out, again.
I fly through summer let the seasons change,
Drink in the sunlight; cry it out as rain.
I fly through summer let the seasons change,
How life is just a big game.
You'll see what I become, I'll see what I became,
How nothing can now be the same again.
Ooooh Summer.
The seasons change.
A lifetime of days, years, minutes and months gone.
Another bump on the head. I couldn't remember...
A lifetime of days, years, minutes and months, gone.
The lyrics of Grammatics' song "The Vague Archive" are full of imagery that evokes a sense of change, transformation, and growth. The first verse speaks of flipping over the sun and turning it into a moon, which can be seen as a symbol of change and transformation. The singer then asks to be wrapped in a cocoon, a symbol of safety and shelter, and left to undergo changes like the seasons. The line "drinking in the sunshine, cry it out as rain" could represent the experience of taking in life's experiences and processing them, even if they may be painful or difficult.
The second verse speaks of stepping into character and going on stage, which could represent taking on a new identity or persona. The singer is waiting for the approval and love of others, hoping they will accept them even in their vulnerability. The chorus repeats the themes of transformation and change, with the singer flying through summer and experiencing the changing seasons. The lines "you'll see what I become, I'll see what I became, how nothing can now be the same again" suggest that growth and change are inevitable and will affect not just the individual but those around them as well.
The song's overall message seems to be about accepting change, embracing transformation, and staying open to new experiences even if they may be difficult. The imagery of seasons changing and the singer undergoing changes suggest that growth and evolution are natural and necessary parts of life.
