Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surely you mean this something
You're bringing me down to a silent breath
when it's the truth that I want to see
Search myself for the reason
The ever loving greed
I am put off slighty
(In the sensory, serenity)
(In the sensory, serenity)
So pull the pin inside
Baby let it ride
Never knowin' I'm the next to see
With the fire sign
Never make it mine
Never knowin' I'm the next to be
I am learning slowly
So what am I to see
Every twist and turning
Through my hypocrisy
It's so good to see
This world is alive
It's so good to see
This world is a lie
Like a knot it binds, suffocating minds
Never knowing, I'm in the next to see
With the fire sign
Never make it mine
Never knowin' I'm the next to bleed
I am learning slowly
So what am I to see
Every twist and turning
Through my hypocrisy
Search myself for the reason
Forever loving greed
I am bored of silence
So what am I to see?
It's so good to see
This world is alive
It's so good to see
This world is a lie
Lie awake, still, as I try to breathe
Surely you mean this is something
You're bringing me down to a silent breath
and it's the truth that I want to see
(In the sensory serenity)
(In the sensory, serenity)
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm the next to see?
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm the next to see?
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm the next to see?
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm in ecstasy
It's so good to see
This world is alive
It's so good to see
This world isn't mine
It's So good to see (So good to see)
This world I'm in (World I'm in (World I'm in (World I'm in) loves me
So,
Themata by Karnivool is a song that contemplates the meaning of existence and the search for truth. The lyrics reflect a struggle between opposing forces - the desire to see the truth and the fear of the unknown. The first verse sets the tone for the song with the lines, "Step in this room where I want to be, Surely you mean this something." The singer is seeking something that he cannot quite define, but it is clear that he wants to see the truth. The line "You're bringing me down to a silent breath" suggests that the singer is holding his breath, possibly in anticipation or fear of what is to come.
The second verse focuses on the singer's inner journey towards self-discovery. He is searching for the reasons behind his own actions and motivations. The line "Every twist and turning through my hypocrisy" suggests that he is struggling with the idea of living up to his own standards, and that he is not always able to be true to his own beliefs. The chorus ("It's so good to see, This world is alive, It's so good to see, This world is a lie") is a paradoxical statement that further emphasizes this struggle between opposing forces. The singer is questioning the meaning of life, and whether the world is real or a figment of his own imagination.
The bridge ("In the sensory, serenity, could it be, that I'm the next to see?") introduces a sense of calm to the song, as if the singer has found solace in the fact that he may soon find the answers he seeks. The repetition of "sensory, serenity" creates a hypnotic effect, as if the singer is in a trance-like state. The final chorus ("It's so good to see, This world I'm in loves me, So, could it be that I'm in ecstasy") brings the song to a triumphant conclusion, suggesting that the singer has found peace and happiness in the world around him.

It's so good to see, This world is alive, It's so good to see, This world is a lie
Observing the world, I see its liveliness but also its falsehood
Like a knot it binds, suffocating minds, Never knowing, I'm in the next to see, With the fire sign, Never make it mine, Never knowing I'm the next to bleed

Step in this room where I wanna be
Surely you mean this something
You're bringing me down to a silent breath
when it's the truth that I wanna see
Search myself for the reason
The ever loving greed
I am put off slighty
So what am I to see.. oh my love
In the sensory serenity
So pull the pin inside
Baby let it ride
Never knowin' I'm the next to see
With the fire sign
Never make it mine
Never knowin' I'm the next to be
I am learning slowly
So what am I to see
Every twist and turning
Through my hypocrisy
It's so good to see
This world is alive
It's so good to see
This world is a lie
Like a knot it binds, suffocating minds
Never knowing, I'm in the next to see
With the fire sign
Never make it mine
Never knowin' I'm the next to bleed
I am learning slowly
So what am I to see
Every twist and turning
Through my hypocrisy
Search myself for the reason
Forever loving greed
I am bored of silence
So what am I to see?
It's so good to see
This world is alive
It's so good to see
This world is a lie
Lie awake, still, as I try to breathe
Surely you mean this is something
You're bringing me down to a silent breath
and it's the truth that I wanna see
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm the next to see?
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm the next to see?
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm the next to see?
In the sensory, serenity
could it be, that I'm in ecstasy
It's so good to see
This world is alive
It's so good to see
This world isn't mine
It's So good to see
This world I'm in loves me..
