Jacob
Kagu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Find a mask in a shape
With eyes that won't explode
Feel free from the questions of before
See yourself in exoplanet
Just sit back and watch it all
You are the SHADOW OF THE WIND
Please, to my reflection from your skin
I'll keep my distance from the wind
And bad blunder
Infection moving your skin
Try to bleed it out from a scar but
Only let others in
Keep farther, faces you used to make
But you're yourself on your wearies
Reason not enslaved
You are the SHADOW OF THE WIND
Stay in the SHADOW OF THE WIND
Please, keep my reflection from the skin
I'll keep my distance from the wind
The lyrics to Kagu's song "Jacob" are both enigmatic and introspective, inviting the listener to interpret the meaning behind the abstract phrases. The first verse appears to suggest that the singer wants to escape from the mundanity of life by creating a different persona for themselves without being judged by the past. This is highlighted by the metaphorical "mask in a shape" which denotes an alternate identity without restrictions. The lyrics "Just sit back and watch it all" can be interpreted as an invitation to observe and experience the alternate reality they have created without any external judgment.
The chorus emphasizes a theme of being elusive and away from the world's perception, representing the "Shadow of the Wind." The line "Please, to my reflection from your skin" suggests the singer expects empathy and understanding towards their quest to be absent from the public's gaze. The following lines "I'll keep my distance from the wind" suggest that the singer prefers to remain hidden and unknown, away from the chaos of public life.
The second verse continues with the theme of escaping reality, but also highlights the struggle to cope with internal conflicts. The first lines of the second verse describe an internal struggle with an infection that the singer tries to heal by bleeding out from a scar, indicating a mental anguish that is difficult to deal with. The following line "only let others in" highlights the singer's reluctance to reveal their vulnerability to others. The final lines "Reason not enslaved" symbolize the importance of independent thinking and decision-making, and breaking free from external pressures.
