Evolution
Kitty Margolis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Evolution
Evolution is a mystery
Full of change that no one sees
Our weeks are full of history
Yesterday's too long ago
Don't agree with what I know
Tomorrow's got no place to be
I see the Line in the Sand
Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I stand
Evolution, Evolution

See my reflection change
Nothing ever stays the same
but you know the name's the game
We all know what it means
Nothing's ever what it seems
Unforgiven, Unforseen

I see the Line in the Sand
Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I'll stand
Evolution, Evolution

Take her back home

I see the Line in the Sand
Time to find out who I am




Looking back to see where I'll stand
Evolution, Evolution

Overall Meaning

Kitty Margolis's song "Evolution" is a reflective piece that delves into the theme of change and personal growth. The lyrics convey a sense of introspection and a desire for self-discovery. The opening lines, "Evolution is a mystery, full of change that no one sees", suggest that change is a natural part of life, but it is not always visible. We sometimes fail to notice the subtle transformations that take place over time. The second line, "Our weeks are full of history, yesterday's too long ago", implies that the past is behind us and we cannot go back in time. The singer then admits they do not agree with what they know and tomorrow has no place to be. The implication is that the singer is searching for some sort of meaning, but they are unsure of where to find it.


The chorus, "I see the Line in the Sand, time to find out who I am, looking back to see where I stand, Evolution, Evolution", highlights the theme of self-discovery. The Line in the Sand represents a point of no return, a juncture in one's life where one must make a critical decision. The singer is asking themselves who they are and is reflecting on where they have come from. The repetition of the word "Evolution" emphasizes the idea that change is necessary for personal growth. The second verse continues with the theme of change, "See my reflection change, nothing ever stays the same, but you know the name's the game, we all know what it means, nothing's ever what it seems, unforgiven, unforeseen". The singer acknowledges that everything changes, no matter how hard we try to hold onto the past. They also indicate that everything is not what it seems, and one cannot predict the future.
