Saturn
Kailash (Kurt A. Bruder Ph.D. M.Ed.) Lyrics

In the song "Saturn" by Kailash (Kurt A. Bruder Ph.D. M.Ed.), the lyrics explore themes of argument, inner turmoil, and the desire for freedom and self-expression.

The opening line, "Just hanging out, right outside 'cause you argue," suggests that the singer is in a tense situation, possibly outside a place where arguments frequently occur. The repetition of "we argue" emphasizes the ongoing conflict in their relationship.

The line, "When you open your mouth, planes crash, bombs ring out, who are you, where are you?" metaphorically portrays the destructive impact of the other person's words. The reference to planes crashing and bombs ringing out symbolizes the chaos and harm caused by their communication. The singer expresses confusion by questioning the identity and whereabouts of the person they are arguing with, as if their words have transformed them into someone unrecognizable.

The next lines, "No thoughts allowed on this stage you've set, I don't care to count the rounds of the fights in your head," suggest that the other person tends to dominate the conversation or control the narrative. They create an environment where the singer's thoughts and opinions are not valued or allowed. The reference to "rounds of fights in your head" implies that the other person is constantly engaged in internal conflicts and may project these struggles onto the singer.

The following lines, "I don't mind, brand new times, they adore you, they always said to not expect too much out of loving you," convey a sense of resignation and acceptance in the face of recurring arguments. The singer acknowledges that others may admire or idealize the other person, despite their flaws. The reference to not expecting too much out of loving them implies that the singer has learned not to place high expectations on this relationship.

The lines, "When you stand beside yourself, on your own, and I really need to break contact, yes, I really need to break contracts," reveal the singer's desire for distance and independence. They feel the need to detach themselves from the other person and break the commitments or agreements that may bind them together. The mention of standing beside oneself suggests a sense of self-reflection and realization that their own well-being and happiness should take precedence over the relationship.

Finally, the lines, "And the moon lights up and pulls you under, and Saturn points to the night, let your patterns burst to sunlight," evoke a transformative image. The moon is symbolically associated with emotions, and its pull represents the weight or influence that emotional patterns have on the other person. Saturn, often associated with restriction and limitations, points to the night, implying the darkness or struggle the other person experiences. The lyrics encourage the other person to let go of their negative patterns and allow their true self to shine through, bursting into the sunlight. This might suggest that the singer hopes for growth and positive change within the relationship.
