Six Letters Sent
Janus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stand clear, this panic's overwhelming
Brace your knees, all of this has failed
Aim low and medicate your fear and
Pray that your time will satisfy your means

If you keep running away now
If you keep running, I wonder
Will you know my name?
Will you know my name?

The stain a lie leaves on your skin
Is a choice, a right, to feel what you feel
Aim low and medicate your fear and
Pray that your time will satisfy your means

If you keep running away now
If you keep running, I wonder
Will you know my name?
Will you know my name?

Let me drown, let me slip away
Take cover, a new war is on
Time and time again it comes
Alone inside we run
I'll move on

If you keep running away now
If you keep running, I wonder




Will you know my name?
Will you know my name?

However, the lyrics suggest that it is a person's right to feel what they feel, even if those emotions are difficult to confront.


The third and final stanza of the song brings all of these themes together. It acknowledges that sometimes it feels like there is nothing left to do but slip away and forget everything, but that ultimately, one must keep moving forward. The repetition of the line "If you keep running away now" sends a message that even when it feels impossible to face one's problems, it is essential to keep trying.


Overall, Six Letters Sent is a song that is about facing fear and overcoming adversity. It acknowledges the limitations of human strength, but encourages listeners to keep pushing forward despite those limitations.
