EXiSTENCE
Highly Sedated Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stare at the celing
Another day to look for something to believe in
This isn't life
This is existence
Gone so far
We don't even know the difference
Had a late start
Wingspan expand
Take off
We had a late start
But now the breaks off
Wingspan expand
Take off
C'mon
We, we are not living
We, we are existing
We don't even know the difference
We just keep on existing
Open his eyes
Stare at the celing
Another day to look for something to believe in
This isn't life
This is existence
Gone so far
We don't even know the difference
Had a late start
But now the breaks off
Wingspan expand
Take off
We had a late start
But now the breaks off
Wingspan expand
Take off
C'mon
We, we are not living
We, we are existing
We don't even know the difference
We just keep on existing
I don't wanna feel no more, numb me down
I don't wanna feel no more, c'mon
We, we are not living
We, we are existing
We don't even know the difference
We just keep on existing
We, we are not living
We, we are existing
We don't even know the difference
We just keep on existing
The lyrics of Highly Sedated's song "Existence" paint a picture of a society that is simply existing, rather than truly living. The phrase "open our eyes, stare at the ceiling" suggests a kind of existential boredom - a sense that we are just going through the motions without any real purpose or passion. The lyrics go on to state that "this isn't life, this is existence," implying that there is more to be experienced and achieved than simply floating through each day without direction or drive.
The line "we don't even know the difference" speaks to a sense of confusion and perhaps even apathy among the song's subjects. They don't know what they want or need, and are unable to distinguish between a fulfilling life and mere existence. However, there is a glimmer of hope when the lyrics suggest that "the breaks are off" and "wingspan expand" - there is a sense that change is possible, and that individuals can break out of their stagnant existence and take control of their lives.
The repeated refrain of "We, we are not living / We, we are existing / We don't even know the difference / We just keep on existing" highlights the central theme of the song - the danger of living our lives on autopilot and the need for inner growth and self-discovery.
