Questions
MMEB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I went to those who close the open door
And turning the key
I sat and spoke to those inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
Where the moon was a star-painted dancer
They reached to my centre of reason
And pulled on the touchstone that's there
The shock of that light had me reeling
And I fell into the depths of despair
Trning the key
I sat and spoke to those inside of me
They answered my questions with questions
And they set me to stand on the brink
Where the sun and the moon were as brothers
And all that was left was to think
They answered my questions with questions
And they pointed me into the night
And the power that bore me had left me alone
To figure out which way was right
The lyrics of "Questions" by MMEB seem to describe a surreal dream experience. The singer describes going to a place where a door is closed, but they have the key to open it. Once inside, they speak with someone, or multiple people, who answer their questions with more questions. It appears that these individuals may be a representation of different aspects of the singer's subconscious mind. They seem to be guiding the singer through a journey of self-discovery, pushing the singer to consider the world in a new light.
The imagery in the song is very evocative and metaphysical. The moon is described as a "star-painted dancer," and the world is "just a spectrum of light." Later on, the sun and the moon are described as "brothers." This emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, and the idea that everything is ultimately one. The shock of the light mentioned in the second verse seems to be a moment of realization for the singer. It has a profound effect on them, causing them to fall into despair. However, this despair seems to be a necessary step towards growth, as it forces the singer to question everything and determine which way is right.
Overall, "Questions" is a deeply thoughtful and introspective song that explores the human condition and the search for meaning.
