Orpheus
J. A. Seazar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Orpheus plays the lyre
Daydreams of eurydice
Flashback, it starts
It pulls me apart
Can’t look back or it’ll disappear
It’s not
Like
If life is but a dream
Wake up
Knocked down
Dragged out
Can’t hear the angels sing
My head is spinning with demons
Within, without
Someway, somehow
We’ll find our way out of here
I’ve chased, this muse
Spoon fed on half truths
Then I hear all this music in my ear
It’s not
Like
You and me can be
If life is but a dream
Wake up
Knocked down
Dragged out
Can’t hear the angels sing
My head is swimming with demons
Anywhere you go
I will guide you home
Leave it all to me
I will set you free
Anywhere you fly
I will be your guide
Swim into the light
Shimmering inside
It’s not
Like
You and me can be
If life is but a dream
Wake up
Knocked down
Dragged out
Can’t hear the angels sing
My head is spinning with demons
The song "Orpheus" by J. A. Seazar explores themes of nostalgia, escape, and the struggle between light and darkness. The lyrics depict a journey through memories and fantasies, with references to the Greek mythological figure Orpheus, who played the lyre and famously tried to rescue his lover Eurydice from the Underworld.
The opening lines, "Reverse, rewind, Orpheus plays the lyre, daydreams of Eurydice," set the stage for a retrospective journey. The singer is caught in a cycle of reminiscing and daydreaming, unable to move forward. The mention of a flashback pulling them apart suggests the pain and difficulty of confronting past experiences.
The chorus, "Can't look back or it'll disappear, it's not like you and me can be if life is but a dream, wake up, knocked down, dragged out, can't hear the angels sing," reflects a sense of disillusionment and the constant struggle to find happiness and meaning within life's illusions. The singer feels overwhelmed by their own internal demons, unable to find solace or connection with others. The repeated references to demons and angels highlight the ongoing battle within the individual, with darkness and light constantly in flux.
The later verses introduce a new element of hope and guidance, as the singer's muse and inner voice promises to lead them home and set them free. The use of light imagery, such as "swim into the light, shimmering inside," suggests a potential for transformation and salvation.
Overall, "Orpheus" delves into the complexities of the human experience, the longing for connection and understanding, and the struggle to reconcile dreams with reality.
