The Further
Inertia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you tell me what you see
Am I a man trying
Or a monster to feed?
We are the watchers with far flung eyes
We're terrified of what's to come
We are becoming more as the moonlight transforms benign
Deeper and further I search for who I am
When the stars betray the sunset
Before the skies begin to bleed
Your color pales the comparison
Illuminating transparency
Oh
We are the monsters with tragic lives we seek to survive
Deeper and Further I search for who I am
Closer to the danger I'm running away
When you look into my eyes
Can you tell me what you see
Am I a man trying
Or a monster to feed?
The song ‘The Further’ by Inertia is a fast-paced and electrifying track that explores the concept of identity and the conflict between who we are and who society wants us to be. The lyrics of the song are full of powerful imagery that evokes a sense of fear, desperation, and confusion. The writer contemplates his existence and whether he is a man striving to be better or a monster who constantly needs to feed his ego.
The song opens with a direct address to the listener, asking them to look into his eyes and tell him what they see. This creates a sense of vulnerability and openness that sets the tone for the entire track. The writer is held hostage by his inner demons and is uncertain about his place in the world. The line “We are the watchers with far-flung eyes” refers to the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape the confines of one’s mind. The fear of what’s to come and the struggle to survive is palpable.
As the song progresses, the writer delves deeper into his identity crisis, expressing his desire to find out who he truly is. The lines “Deeper and further I search for who I am, Closer to the danger I'm running away” speak about the writer's constant struggle to resist the urge to give in to his dark impulses. The writer is afraid of the person he has become and is desperate to change his ways. However, he is afraid that he might not be able to discern who he truly is and will end up feeding his monster.
Overall, ‘The Further’ is a deep and introspective track that explores some profound themes. The use of metaphorical language and imagery makes it a captivating and thought-provoking song that will resonate with anyone who has felt trapped by their inner demons.
Line by Line Meaning
When you look into my eyes
Asking the listener to pay attention to the singer's emotions
Can you tell me what you see
Asking the listener to empathize and understand his perspective
Am I a man trying
Questioning whether he fits society's expectations of a man
Or a monster to feed?
Feeling like an outcast or a burden on others
We are the watchers with far flung eyes
Feeling like an outsider, watching the world pass by
We're terrified of what's to come
Anxiety about the unknown future
We are becoming more as the moonlight transforms benign
Hope that the night's darkness will bring transformation and enlightenment
Deeper and further I search for who I am
A constant journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance
Closer to the danger I'm running away
Fear of confronting difficult truths about oneself or the world
When the stars betray the sunset
Feeling alone and disconnected from the universe
Before the skies begin to bleed
A foreboding sense of danger or chaos
Your color pales the comparison
Feeling inferior or inadequate in someone else's presence
Illuminating transparency
Seeing through someone else's facade or lies
Oh
An interjection expressing strong emotion
We are the monsters with tragic lives we seek to survive
Feeling like a victim of circumstances, trying to overcome adversity
When you look into my eyes
Repeating the opening line to emphasize its importance
Can you tell me what you see
Repeating the question to emphasize its significance
Am I a man trying
Repeating the self-doubting question to emphasize the struggle with identity
Or a monster to feed?
Repeating the fear of being a burden to others to emphasize the feeling of isolation
