Hevein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not one iota of vision
Just corned and distraught
Complimented submission
Not one iota of thought
Not one iota of vision
Just corned and distraught
No room to maneuver, no room for mistakes
Dish the pain out as you wish, don't worry if it breaks
Seeing is believing. it's the small things that count
Singing, screaming. it takes one to know one
Leave me be, let me go
You cannot fathom what I know
Is this real or a show
My redemption is unknown
Do you see, do you know
I need to find an answer within
Not one iota of envy
Not one iota of hate
No need for confusion
Just mellowed and sedate
Remove what's not working
Replace that what's fake
Create an atmosphere of trust, on which life is made
On which life is made
Leave me be, let me go
You cannot fathom what I know
Is this real or a show?
My redemption is unknown
Do you see, do you know?
I need to find an answer
Leave me be, let me go
You cannot fathom what I know
Is this real or a show?
My redemption is unknown
Do you see, do you know?
I need to find an answer within
Leave me be, let me go
You cannot fathom what I know
Is this real or a show?
My redemption is unknown
Do you see, do you know?
I need to find an answer within
The lyrics of "iOta" by Hevein suggest a struggle to maintain autonomy and individuality in a world that values conformity and submission. The repetition of the phrase "not one iota" suggests a complete lack of something, in this case, thought and vision. The lines "Just corned and distraught/Complimented submission" evoke an image of someone who is trapped and unhappy but is praised for their willingness to conform to societal norms.
The second verse suggests that the singer is aware of their situation and longs to break free. "No room to maneuver, no room for mistakes" paints a picture of a rigid and unforgiving environment. However, the line "seeing is believing, it's the small things that count" suggests that there is still hope for the singer to find a way out.
In the final verses, the singer talks about the need to remove what's not working, replace what's fake, and create an atmosphere of trust. These lines imply a desire for change, but the repetition of the phrase "Leave me be, let me go" suggests that the singer is struggling to find a way out. The final lines, "My redemption is unknown/I need to find an answer within" suggests that the singer is searching for their own sense of purpose and meaning, rather than relying on external validation.
Overall, "iOta" is a powerful commentary on the tension between conformity and individuality, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often seems devoid of it.
