Epilogue
I_O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

things i’ve done in the name of love
why does my head wear a thousand faces
every one of them looking for something
why is my mind always a thousand places
but here
where am i now
where is my reflection
it’s sinking in
I finally understand
Famous last words
where is my religion




bow me down
what do you believe in

Overall Meaning

In the song "Epilogue" by i_o LIGHTS, the lyrics delve into introspective questions about love, identity, and personal beliefs. The opening lines, "things I've done in the name of love, why does my head wear a thousand faces, every one of them looking for something", express a sense of confusion and exploration. The singer reflects on the different personas they have taken on in their pursuit of love and wonders why they constantly seek something new.


The line "why is my mind always a thousand places but here, where am I now, where is my reflection" suggests a fragmented state of mind, where the singer struggles to be fully present and is searching for their own sense of identity. The lyrics emphasize a struggle to find a stable self-image or understanding of who they are.


The song's chorus, "famous last words, where is my religion, bow me down, what do you believe in", further explores themes of personal beliefs and a spiritual quest. It speaks to a desire to find something to hold onto, a guiding principle or faith to anchor oneself in. The repeated question of "what do you believe in" highlights the singer's uncertainty and the urgency to discover something meaningful to believe in.
