Polarity
Hocico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your prayers push me into the light
But why would you push me over the edge?
Just listen, listen to your own thoughts
Just listen, listen to your name
Every time I call you, you become mine

Come to me, the battle's inside
Just stop the struggle
'Cause the struggle's in your mind
Come to me, The battle's inside of us
Just stop the struggle
'Cause the struggle's in your mind

It's your body, your cage
Is this my voice? What did I say?
Burn me, freeze me
You cannot destroy
You cannot destroy what you didn't create!

False intuitions guide me home
I wait and show my violence, religious thorn
Hiding in the trees
Waiting for your coming
It's easy to see all the wasted life
I'm just the fallen who cuts the rope

Eyes of the pain
Showing everything you used to hate
Eyes of the insane
Just showing the pain
Running away from fate

Come to me, the battle's inside
Just stop the struggle
'Cause the struggle's in your mind
Come to me, The battle's inside of us
Just stop the struggle
'Cause the struggle's in your mind

Come to me, the battle's inside
Just stop the struggle
'Cause the struggle's in your mind
Come to me, The battle's inside of us




Just stop the struggle
'Cause the struggle's in your mind

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hocico's song "Polarity" seem to explore the nature of the internal battles we all experience in our minds. The song's opening lines suggest that the singer is feeling pushed towards a "light" through the prayers of someone else. However, the question raised is why this push towards light must be linked with being pushed towards the edge. This could suggest that the person's prayers are intense and overwhelming, perhaps even disruptive or destructive. The chorus repeatedly implores the listener to come to the singer and stop struggling, suggesting that the real battle is inside one's own mind.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more abstract and metaphorical. The line "It's your body, your cage" perhaps speaks to the idea that the physical body can be a limiting factor when it comes to the free expression of one's thoughts and emotions. The singer goes on to say "You cannot destroy what you didn't create," suggesting that perhaps the internal battles we all experience are a result of something beyond our control or creation. The second verse of the song appears to be about waiting for some kind of conflict or confrontation, but it's unclear what this is a metaphor for. The final lines about "Eyes of the insane" and "Running away from fate" add to the overall sense of chaos and struggle.


Overall, "Polarity" seems to be exploring the idea that our mental and emotional struggles are just as real and difficult to overcome as any external challenge. The repeated refrain to "come to me" could be seen as the singer speaking to themselves, trying to encourage themselves to find inner peace and clarity.
