Harmful Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hear my answer you´re not the one without a drop to cry...
Feel the water it´s leading us all See the gutter... but some of us are looking at the stars
We will have to suffer now ´cause you had it all Why do people always try to react when they ´re about to fall
My work contains a part of it to pick up where we´ve left of
Peals of laughter See the gutter... but some of us are looking at the stars
We will have to suffer now ´cause you had it all Why do people always try to react when they´re about to fall
Are you going to fight till the end when it seems like there´s no hope on the edge
The lyrics to Harmful's song Plausible speak to themes of disillusionment, disappointment, apathy and a sense of resignation towards the realities of life. The opening line "Peals of laughter..." could be interpreted as a sarcastic reference to the light-hearted attitudes that some people have towards the hardships of others. This is followed by the observation that there are many sounds in the world, but none of them can take away the love that the singer has found. This could be interpreted as a message of hope in a time of distress - that despite all the negative noise in the world, love is a constant that can provide comfort and support.
However, the tone of the song shifts in the second verse to a more jaded perspective, as the singer acknowledges that sometimes there is nothing to do but wipe out one's life and wait for things to come. The lyrics then ask a rhetorical question - "Why do people always try to react when they're about to fall?" - which could be interpreted as a commentary on the human tendency to try to save ourselves when we're in danger, even if it doesn't always work out. The singer then asserts that their own work contains a part of the solution to the problems of the world, and calls on listeners to look up and see the stars, rather than being content with the gutter.
The chorus repeats the lines "See the gutter... but some of us are looking at the stars." This juxtaposition of the mundane and the transcendent could be interpreted as a call to action - a plea for listeners to aspire to something greater than the everyday grind of life. The final lines of the song "Are you going to fight till the end when it seems like there's no hope on the edge / Well, I don't think so... that's why I want you to go!" can be seen as a challenge to listeners to decide whether they are going to give up or fight for what they believe in, with the singer personally rejecting the former option.

"plausible" - It's funny but this is the first time I see this word. Words "possible" and "probable" I met very often.

Dear Syl, what is the difference between more likely and more probable? Is there a difference?
Lobzang Drukpa
When you say 'most probably' it's the most likely event, yet you are not 100% sure.

This video's background might not be real, but a result of an editing using a green screen. It's possible and plausible.
But it's probable that it is a real scenario for sure
