Everything You've Done Before
Mano Le Tough Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and i held my heart in my hand
and i said can you please tell me something
something of this Land
and the Voice came to me from a far
and i held my heart in my hand
and i said can you tell me something
and the Voice came to me from a far
and i held my heart in my hand
and i said something
and the Voice came to me from a far
and i said something
and the Voice came to me from a far
and i said something
The lyrics to Mano Le Tough's song "Everything You've Done Before" are somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. The repeated phrase "The Voice came to me from a far" sets a dreamlike tone, as though the singer is in a trance or communicating with someone or something beyond our earthly realm. The line "and I held my heart in my hand" suggests vulnerability and possibly fear. The singer is seeking knowledge or understanding of "this Land," which could refer to the natural world, societal issues, or some kind of spiritual plane.
The repeated phrase "and I said something" is left intentionally vague, leaving it up to the listener's imagination to fill in what the singer is saying or asking for. The song's overall mood is dreamy and introspective, with the electronic beat adding a sense of movement and momentum. The lyrics may be interpreted as a search for meaning, identity, or purpose, and the elusive nature of the "Voice" and the singer's own thoughts suggest that these answers may be difficult to come by.
