LA SCALTRA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Confide in signals
That drive the ride
In silent nothing
Dark light, subside height
Confide in signals
In ocean′s divide
Away, away, away
Dark star, rebel tide
Confide in signals
That drive the ride
In silent nothing
Dark light, subside height
Confide in signals
In ocean's divide
In silent nothing
Away, away, away
Dark star, rebel tide
Confide in signals
That drive the ride
Away, away, away
Dark light, subside height
Confide in signals
In ocean′s divide
Away, away, away
In silent nothing
In silent nothing
The lyrics of LA SCALTRA's song "Sonar Dance" are enigmatic, poetic, and open for interpretation. Throughout the song, the singer seems to be describing a journey into the unknown, one that is dark and silent. The first stanza introduces the image of a "dark star, rebel tide," which sets the tone for what's to come. The second stanza repeats this phrase, emphasizing its importance. The singer suggests that we should "confide in signals" that can guide us through this journey. These signals are not described more specifically, leaving room for the interpretation of the listener.
The following stanzas continue with a similar tone and structure, describing a silent, dark divide. It seems like the journey described by the singer is both physical and metaphorical, as the ocean divide can represent both a vast, unexplored body of water, and a separation between two different states of being. The repeated refrain of "away, away, away" emphasizes the distance and separation that the singer is seeking from the world around them. The final stanza repeats the phrase "in silent nothing" twice, driving home the sense of emptiness and isolation at the heart of the song.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sonar Dance" are evocative and enigmatic. They suggest a journey into the unknown, one that is guided by signals of some kind and characterized by darkness and silence.
