The Voice
Hoopy Frood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It doesn't really matter, 'cos nothing really counts
It's a little like The Matrix, there's so much more than this
You'll never make a difference, to what you think you'll know
If you really want to see it, look into yourself

Hear me, see me, I'm all around you now
See me, feel me, hear me, see me, I'm all around you now
You are enlightened now

It's not so hard to see it, it's everything you know
You're holding onto nothing, relax and let it go
Proof of your existence isn't hard to find
'Cos all of your existence is what you call your mind

Hear me, see me, I'm all around you now
See me, feel me, you are enlightened now
Hear me, see me, I'm all around you now
See me, feel me, you are enlightened now

The key to life, you know the sequence
Open up your mind and see the difference
I believe that you can go the distance
Choose the dream with the least resistance
You can't choose where you've already been
You can't choose the air you're breathing in
But you can count on your awareness
Be aware of your awareness
Who do you see in your own reflection?
Just a face or do you feel a connection?
Deep within, feel yourself
Focus in on nothing else.
Focus in on nothing else
Focus in, free yourself.
Focus in on nothing else.
Focus in on nothing else, just be yourself.
Focus in, and free yourself.
The key to life, know the secrets.
Open up your mind and see the difference.
(Focus in on nothing else.)

But you can count on your awareness.




Be aware of your awareness.
(Focus in on nothing else.)

The lyrics of Hoopy Frood's "The Voice" tackles one's search for purpose and meaning in life. The first stanza talks about how nothing really matters and nothing counts, and like in The Matrix, there is so much more to life than what one knows. It then goes on to say that no matter how much you think you know, you won't make a difference unless you look into yourself. The second stanza says that the key to enlightenment is letting go since you're holding onto nothing, and the proof of your existence is what you call your mind.


The chorus repeats the phrase "Hear me, see me, I'm all around you now." It emphasizes that enlightenment is within reach as it is all around them. Towards the end of the song, it talks about the key to life, which is to open up one's mind and see the difference. It further speaks about one's awareness and how it is essential to be aware of one's awareness. The phrases "Focus in on nothing else" and "just be yourself" underscores the importance of finding oneself and freeing oneself from distractions.
