Symphony No. 1
Kalaparush And The Light Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From fear we duel
'Til no one can stand anymore
And those that can see
Are blinded by the
Books flaming at their door
It'll only set you alight
Untie my hands
I understand you're afraid
Run to dry land
The sinking sand to your grave is coming
Like the wasp that wonders why
Everything that it stings has thunder in its eyes
Guided by candles, our parents trusted
There's safety in numbers though our shields are rusting
Don't wait for the spring
Become the thing you desire
Untie my hands
I understand you're afraid
Run to dry land
The sinking sand to your grave is coming
Untie my hands
I understand you're afraid
Run to dry land
The sinking sand to your grave is coming
Everyone's an enemy reflections they don't want to see
Tell us how we ought to be, but I am my own man
Take a look through the night, fear not the other side
Dusk is done, dawn is night
Take a hold of my hand
Take a hold of my hand
Take a hold of my hand
The lyrics of Kalaparush And The Light's song "Symphony No. 1" convey a powerful message about resistance, the importance of ideas, and the fear that can hold us back.
The first few lines, "Flags as fuel, from fear we duel, 'til no one can stand anymore," suggest a conflict fueled by fear and the desire to overpower one another. It reflects a society or situation where people are engaged in a constant battle, each trying to assert their dominance over the other.
The next lines, "And those that can see, are blinded by the, books flaming at their door," speak to the suppression of knowledge and the resistance to new ideas. Those who have the ability to recognize the truth or see beyond the ignorance are met with opposition and attacked, symbolized by books being burned at their door. However, the lyrics also highlight the resilience of ideas, stating, "But you can't burn an idea, it'll only set you alight." This line suggests that despite attempts to silence or destroy ideas, they have the power to ignite change and resistance.
The chorus, repeated twice, expresses a plea to be freed from the constraints of fear and the understanding that others are afraid as well. The metaphor of sinking sand and being led to one's grave represents the consequences of succumbing to fear and remaining stagnant. It urges the audience to take action, to break free from the grip of fear, and to strive for their desires and aspirations rather than waiting for others to dictate their path.
The later lines, "Everyone's an enemy, reflections they don't want to see, tell us how we ought to be, but I am my own man," speak to societal pressures and expectations. It suggests that people are judgmental and impose their ideals on others, but the singer declares their independence and refusal to conform. The lyrics encourage embracing individuality and the courage to face the unknown, represented by "take a look through the night, fear not the other side." The invitation to take hold of the singer's hand implies unity and support in the journey towards liberation and self-discovery.
Overall, "Symphony No. 1" delivers a message of resistance, the significance of ideas, and the importance of breaking free from fear and societal expectations to pursue individual freedom and fulfillment.
