The Message
IZZ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On solid ground
Shifting the leverage
I could not be found
Inside the message
Another face
It still reminds me of another place
Put anther message
Right up on the wall
So it reminds us of
Nothing at all
Put another message
Put another message
Unsatisfied to call a tie
You spell it out I shut my eyes
Invisible to everyone
But not to me that's why I am undone
Put another message
Right up on the wall
So it reminds us of
Nothing at all
Put another message
Put another message
Put another message
"The Message" by IZZ is a song with deep and introspective lyrics. The opening lines "I saw your haven, on solid ground, shifting the leverage, I could not be found" seems to suggest an individual who once had stability in their life, but things have begun to change, and they are struggling to adapt. The instability of their situation has caused them to lose their grip on life, and they feel lost and out of control. The lyrics continue with "inside the message, another face, it still reminds me of another place," and it's possible that the individual is longing for a sense of familiarity and comfort that they once had but can no longer find.
The chorus of the song, "put another message right upon the wall, so it reminds us of nothing at all," seems to suggest that the individual wants to forget their past and the pain associated with it. They wish to start anew and erase the memories from their mind. The second verse, "Unsatisfied to call a tie, you spell it out I shut my eyes, invisible to everyone, but not to me that's why I am undone," suggests that the individual may have had a falling out with someone close to them, but they are unwilling to discuss it or let it go. It is something that only they can see and feel, and it is causing them emotional pain.
Overall, "The Message" seems to be a song about loss, regret, and the desire to start anew. The lyrics are poignant and evoke a sense of sadness and longing for a better time.
