Izaya Tiji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My absolution nearer, I'll reappear discretely
Calling underground people,
With your underground hearts;
You could start a mainstream fire
With your underground sparks.
Keeping all your underground thoughts
Realize it is inside those minds
Where revolutions start.
Your only failure will be thinking you see right through me.
When things become much clearer, I'll know just where you have been.
On and on I feel you slide
Deep into my memory, slowly.
I look behind to find you stood in front of me,
Adding to elements of subtraction.
Taken from that backwards heart,
And mistaken for love,
I search for ways to compensate for
Simple words no longer true to me.
My resolution this year? I'll disappear completely.
My absolution nearer, I'll reappear.
Your only failure will be thinking you see right through me.
When things become much clearer, I'll know just where you have been.
Suddenly I'm in a place I've never seen before.
In front of me a faceless figure that I've seen before;
Undeterred by motions of distraction, and it's coming to me.
Your life (undeterred my motions of distractions)
You're right (and it's coming to me)
You're alive (undeterred by motions of distraction)
But your mind wont think what it's supposed to.
The lyrics to Izaya Tiji's song 365 seem to be about disappearing and reconnecting with one's true self. The opening lines of the song suggest a desire to disappear completely, perhaps as a form of escape from some situation that the singer finds overwhelming. The line "My absolution nearer, I'll reappear discretely" suggests that the singer plans to come back at some point, but wants to do it in a way that is not too showy or attention-grabbing. From this, it could be inferred that the singer wants to take some time off from their regular life to reflect and regroup, and then perhaps return to their life with renewed energy and clarity.
The second stanza of the song seems to be a call to action for people who are "underground," meaning perhaps those who feel marginalized or ignored by mainstream culture. The singer urges these people to embrace their unique perspective and use it to start a "mainstream fire" with their "underground sparks." The idea here is that real change and progress often come from those who are able to think outside the box and challenge conventional wisdom. The last few lines of the stanza suggest that revolutions often begin in the minds of those who are willing to question the status quo.
The rest of the song seems to explore the idea of perception versus reality. The singer warns against assuming that one knows everything about another person, saying "Your only failure will be thinking you see right through me." The bridge of the song introduces the idea of being taken by surprise by something unexpected, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the unexpected twists and turns that life can take. Overall, the song seems to be about taking a step back from one's life in order to gain perspective, and then returning with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.
