Relativity
Lemon Demon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm standing still. They're spinning around.
No matter what I do, they could be undoing.
Is there something brewing?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
The sun is spinning all around us,
But we are spinning all around it.
We see the moon, the stars, the satellites shifting.
What is really drifting?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody?
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
He was a German physics genius.
In 1955 he left us.
Did Einstein really die
Or did the whole world come to life without him?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody?
Nobody knows. Nobody knows.
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody know?
Doesn't anybody know? Doesn't anybody?
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
Nobody knows, ‘cause it's all relative.
The lyrics of Lemon Demon's song Relativity describe the confusion and uncertainty that comes with the different perspectives and interpretations of the world around us. The singer describes their unique experience of falling upwards while others are falling downwards, and standing still while others are spinning around. This serves as a metaphor for the different ways people may view and experience life.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of relativity within the universe, highlighting the fact that everything is constantly moving relative to each other, without a fixed point to measure from. The mention of the sun, moon, stars, and satellites all shifting represents the vast and complex nature of the universe, and the difficulty in understanding it.
The final verse specifically references Albert Einstein, the famous physicist, and his theory of relativity. The lyrics speculate on whether or not his death caused the world to come to life without him, or if everything continued on as normal. This brings up the idea of the influence individuals have on the world around them, and how much of an impact their actions and ideas truly have.
Overall, the song Relativity explores the complexities of the universe and the different ways of interpreting reality, leaving the listener with the realization that everything is relative and there may never be a clear answer to some of life's big questions.
