Johari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Staring at the edge, alone
Why don't you feel you'll get lonely?
Why don't you feel you you'll be alone?
Don't forget who you are
Don't forget anymore
Your soul collected
Staring at the edge for so long
Slowly fading
A dying world lends its perspective
(?)
Behind the sky so pale blue
(Crushed like waves above)
Our eyes still yearn, for one another
(Isolation brings all, forget all)
A simple life, a simple life
Your soul collected
(Don't forget who you are)
Staring at the edge alone
You make me feel I belong here
You make me feel I belong
The lyrics of Johari's song "Pale Blue" can be interpreted as an exploration of the human condition and the search for meaning in life. The first stanza suggests a sense of isolation, as the singer stares at the edge alone and wonders why they don't feel lonely. The repetition of the phrase "your soul collected" implies a meditative state or an attempt to find inner peace. The admonition "Don't forget who you are" may indicate a struggle to maintain a sense of identity in the face of existential questioning.
The second stanza introduces a cosmic perspective, with fractals painting the night and a dying world offering its perspective. Here, the singer seems to be contemplating the impermanence and interconnectedness of all things. The line "Behind the sky so pale blue" could be a reference to the idea of a blue marble floating in space, which has been described as a humbling vision of the Earth's place in the universe. The chorus reinforces the theme of connection, with the singer finding a sense of belonging with another person.
Overall, "Pale Blue" is a reflective and introspective piece that explores universal themes of isolation, identity, and connection.

I miss you bluedrake, you were my childhood rolemodel. Molded my milsim years, my music taste, my knowledge off of your passion for it. People have broken you, im there too now. People fear true knowledge so we have to make ourselves stupid to make us feel we belong.
