Birth
Love & Reverie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The symphony resounding in my head
Could this be that we were all once dead?
Oh foolish heart
To think you were once alive in these silent times
From the start
You had your ways and meager rhymes
Could this be that we were all once dead
Move move move on me
Move move move on me
Could this be that we were all once dead?
These lyrics from Love & Reverie's song "Birth" seem to be talking about a spiritual awakening, or a realization of one's true self. The first line, "I was born again," suggests a rebirth or a new beginning. The following line, "The symphony resounding in my head," could be interpreted as an overwhelming feeling of beauty, harmony, and complexity.
The next few lines are a bit more cryptic, but seem to suggest that the singer is realizing that they were once living a life that was not fully alive. "From the start, you had your ways and meager rhymes" implies that the singer was once stuck in a rut, following a routine or pattern that did not allow for creativity or growth. The line "Could this be that we were all once dead without the life of each graceful note?" reinforces this idea, suggesting that without something beautiful (like music) to spark inspiration and emotion, life feels empty and meaningless.
The final lines of the song, "Move move move on me / Could this be that we were all once dead?", seem to be challenging the listener to take action and make the most of life. The repetition of "move" suggests urgency and a desire to break free from stagnation. The final question, "Could this be that we were all once dead?", invites introspection and contemplation about the nature of our existence.
Overall, these lyrics seem to be a poetic exploration of the human condition and the search for meaning and fulfillment in life.
