1) Lazarus began in 20… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least seven bands named Lazarus.
1) Lazarus began in 2001 as Trevor Montgomery's post-Tarentel solo project, a pilgrimage of either insanity or freedom - or both. 'Songs For an Unborn Sun' was his first release, a minimal and soulful collaboration with longtime friend Marty Anderson (Okay, Dilute). His second release, 'Like Trees We Grow up to be Satellites (The Backwards America)', punched through the whispering darkness into an orchestral declaration of strength, political upheaval, and hope. Recorded by Scott Solter (Okkervil River, The Mountain Goats), it was a playful and rich approach at expressing both failures and fortunes of life. Lazarus has now grown into a small ensemble, featuring Sacramento natives Kathryn Sechrist and Kelly Nyland, exloring overwhelmingly beautiful depths with dense layers of drums, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitars, glockenspiel, and Trevor's shamanistic, gospel-inspired vocals. Lazarus has become a brilliant, soulful, psychedelic experience of experimental and political grace. At last, this pilgrimage has found a solid road to freedom.
2) Lazarus is also a Detroit rapper whose debut album 'Chapter One: The Prince Who Would Be King' was released in 2007. Lazarus speaks on what he sees in his life in the realest, most creative and passionate way that it can be delivered: through wordplay, vocabulary, and vast amounts of emotion. Lazarus comes off as versatile in his range of rap styles, the way he shifts from calm to hard to lyrical, and then from slow-paced to fast.
3) Lazarus is also a Kenosha, Wisconsin based thrash metal band. They have since changed their name to LaZarus A.D. to avoid confusion. In late 2007 they unleashed their debut album 'The Onslaught.' THRASH OR DIE!
4) Lazarus is a currently inactive Latvian hard rock/heavy metal band from Rīga, Latvia formed in year 2006.

Lazarus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What’s inside your brain?
Looking from afar, I can tell that you’re in some pain
Girl, let me help you
Clear you out of Hell’s view
You ain’t gotta be blue
Girl, you should come through, come through
What you want? I’ve been lacking warmth
I’ve been sad for way too long and now I think I’d fuck with you, aye
Four fucking years, I’ve been on this road with ya
I’ve been feeling lost, thinking what be wrong with her
Take so fucking long, I might just write you a letter
Let me be your friend, we can mend, till the very end
I was thinking, and I-I overthink way too much
But, after everything that I’ve experienced and gone through
I think-I think, really, I just can’t love anymore
No more loving in my heart
I’ve been running from the start
I’ve been looking at the stars
They’ve been telling me, “go farther”
With you, I cannot bother
You’re quite the charmer, but it’s time for my departure
On some real shit, I don’t know how to feel
I’ve been lied one too many times, now I stay concealed
I ain’t worth saving, I am never able
Gotta withdraw all my cards from the table
I don’t know you, you don’t know me
But if we speak, we might just see
I’m so fixed on what could be
All I wish is to be free
Of you
The lyrics to Lazarus's song "An Ode Too Late" convey a sense of emotional pain and a desire for connection. The singer addresses a girl who appears to be struggling, expressing a willingness to help and offering a way out of her pain. There is a sense of longing for warmth and companionship, as the singer admits to feeling sad for a long time and expresses a desire to be with this girl.
The mention of "four fucking years" suggests that the singer has been on a journey with this girl, possibly a romantic relationship, and has been feeling lost and wondering what is wrong with her. The reference to writing a letter suggests a desire to communicate and find understanding, while also indicating that the situation has taken a long time to resolve.
The singer then reflects on their own emotional state and experiences, expressing a sense of disillusionment and an inability to love anymore. There is a feeling of exhaustion and a desire for distance, as the singer mentions running and looking at the stars that are urging them to go farther. The girl is described as charming but ultimately becomes a reason for the singer's departure.
The lyrics then take on a more introspective tone, as the singer admits to not knowing how to feel and feeling concealed due to being lied to multiple times. There is a sense of resignation and a belief that they are not worth saving or deserving of love. The mention of withdrawing cards from the table suggests a desire to protect oneself and avoid further emotional turmoil.
The song ends with a sentiment of uncertainty and a hope for freedom. The singer acknowledges that they and the girl do not truly know each other, but there is a suggestion that if they were to communicate, there might be a chance for understanding and a potential release from their respective emotional burdens. Overall, the lyrics depict a complex and conflicted emotional state, with themes of pain, longing, disillusionment, and a desire for freedom.

Girl, let me help you
Allow me to assist and support you
Clear you out of Hell’s view
Help you escape from your distress or negative mindset
You ain’t gotta be blue
You don't have to feel sad or down
Girl, you should come through, come through
You should come and join me, come closer
What you want? I’ve been lacking warmth
Tell me your desires, as I've been missing warmth and affection
I’ve been back and forth with you
I've been indecisive and uncertain about our relationship
I’ve been sad for way too long and now I think I’d fuck with you, aye
I've been experiencing prolonged sadness, but now I'm considering being intimate or involved with you
Four fucking years, I’ve been on this road with ya
I've been traveling this journey with you for a significant amount of time
I’ve been feeling lost, thinking what be wrong with her
I've been feeling confused, contemplating what might be causing her distress
Take so fucking long, I might just write you a letter
Since it's taking an extensive amount of time, I might consider expressing my thoughts and emotions through a letter
Let me be your friend, we can mend, till the very end
Allow me to be your companion and together we can heal and support each other indefinitely
I was thinking, and I-I overthink way too much
I often dwell on my thoughts and tend to excessively analyze things
But, after everything that I’ve experienced and gone through
However, considering all the past events and challenges I've faced
I think-I think, really, I just can’t love anymore
I truly believe that I am no longer capable of feeling love
No more loving in my heart
There is no longer any love within me
I’ve been running from the start
I've been avoiding emotional attachment from the beginning
I’ve been looking at the stars
I've been seeking guidance or answers from the universe
They’ve been telling me, “go farther”
The stars have been signaling me to continue moving forward
With you, I cannot bother
I cannot invest my energy or effort into a relationship with you
You’re quite the charmer, but it’s time for my departure
You have an appealing personality, but it's time for me to part ways
On some real shit, I don’t know how to feel
Honestly, I am uncertain about my emotions
I’ve been lied one too many times, now I stay concealed
I've been deceived multiple times, so now I keep my true feelings hidden
I ain’t worth saving, I am never able
I don't believe I am deserving of being rescued or that I am capable of saving myself
Gotta withdraw all my cards from the table
I need to retract all the vulnerability and honesty I've shown
I don’t know you, you don’t know me
We are not familiar with each other's true selves
But if we speak, we might just see
However, if we communicate, we might discover more about each other
I’m so fixed on what could be
I am preoccupied with the potential possibilities
All I wish is to be free
My only desire is to experience freedom
Of you
From the emotional entanglement we share
