Makari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some day.
It's okay, if you are, just as
Lost, and scared as we all are
When you're staring at the wall. It's Okay, where we are, you should
Call when you're wide awake at night Thinking there's nothing left at all
Put down both your arms
‘Cause even if it was, no shape,
No ghost will save you now
A giant catacomb, this is
The city of bones. But it's not as bad as it all sounds, it's better than
The Nothing, the nothing when
We're finally gone.
All is not lost, so
Put down both your arms
‘Cause even if it was, no shape,
No ghost will save you now.
All is not lost, so
Put down both your arms
‘Cause even if it was, humans do
The saving anyhow.
Never alone; we're not
All alone. If you're calling late
Then I'll pick up the phone,
If you need to feel safe I'll be
The place that you call home.
All is not lost, so
Put down both your arms
‘Cause even if it was, no shape,
No ghost will save you now.
All is not lost, so
Put down both your arms
‘Cause even if it was, humans do
The saving anyhow.
The song "Beacons" by Makari is a thoughtful and introspective track that touches on the themes of loneliness, fear, and the hope of finding solace in others. The first two lines of the chorus "Don't leave this place, We'll be fine some day" convey a sense of reassurance and support to someone who might be feeling lost or overwhelmed. The lyrics touch on the idea that we are all facing our own struggles and that it's alright to feel scared and lost sometimes.
The second verse highlights the importance of reaching out for help when we feel like everything is falling apart. The line "Call when you're wide awake at night thinking there's nothing left at all" resonates with anyone who has felt alone and vulnerable in the dark hours of the night. The song encourages the listener not to give up, reminding them that "all is not lost" and that they are not alone.
The final part of the song emphasizes the message that humans are capable of helping each other, and that we don't need to rely on ghosts or supernatural beings to save us. The lines "humans do the saving anyhow" highlight the power of empathy and connection in times of need.
Overall, "Beacons" is a powerful and uplifting song that invites the listener to reflect on their own struggles and to find hope and strength in the support of others.
