In his early twenties Unnar stumbled upon a beat up guitar at his parents’ house and started noodling around. By playing the guitar he managed to tame his inner beast and his sense for songs and melodies burst like rockets. The uncontrollable urge for writing music and constant flow of ideas kept him tossing and turning every night and day forever and a day. For a while he filtered his ideas through a band that didn’t live up to his creative requirements so he decided to undertake his alter ego Júníus Meyvant.
The sound of Júníus Meyvant is a rich and afflicted take on freaky folk pop with a familiar and soulful feel. The feeling you get from listening to Júníus equally as comfortable as resting under a thick wool blanket with a hot cup of cocoa in or even when one settles with an exotic beverage on a hot sandy beach far and away.
Draw the Line
Júníus Meyvant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
stealing every love song
grown around you
try to settle down
try to walk away from silly gains you crowned
told to be the one who’s bold
to be the best in all things
to mount all the best you find
and not to give an inch
to those who want you blind
don’t let the voices in your brain
beat you down until you go insane
draw the line
stand your ground
and leave it all behind
soon you better run
run from all the deeds
that make you numb
draw the line
stand your ground
and leave it all behind
you sitting on your throne
peeling every love song
all around you
try to settle down
try to walk away from silly gains you crowned
draw the line
stand your ground
and leave it all behind
The lyrics of Júníus Meyvant's "Draw the Line" touch upon themes of self-reflection, self-improvement, and breaking free from self-doubt and negative influences. The chorus repeats the phrase "draw the line, stand your ground, and leave it all behind," urging the listener to take control of their life and leave behind negative habits and people that are holding them back.
The first verse seems to describe someone who is isolated and absorbed in their own thoughts, perhaps listening to love songs as a way of escaping their reality. They are urged to "try to settle down" and "walk away from silly gains," suggesting that they may be chasing superficial pleasures and need to refocus their priorities.
The second verse paints a picture of a society that values competitiveness and "suffering" as a means of achieving success, even if it means sacrificing one's own well-being. The lyrics urge the listener to ignore these voices and not let them "beat you down until you go insane."
