4) mar is a metal band from Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK. Mar is a post-metal band in the most general sense. There's lots of influences here ranging from hardcore to black metal to doom and some ambient. They are currently in the midst of working on an album to be released later this year [2015] and were featured on the most recent Crushing Intolerance release with this song.

Not Like Here
Mar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there ain't no love
Then why do you suffer?
When you try to be as good as the last one
Amen(?)

Break another now
Break another down
You are just human

I just come from love
I will show you what
I've been seeing

Under circle
Everything is circle
Circle
And I'm indeed in circle

Like I care?

Say what you want
Or be silent
I've got no time to waste
I've only a day before I head home
Baby I am missing
Thank god you're different
You are the one
To be here too long

Under circle
Everything is circle
Circle
And I'm indeed in circle

Like I care?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mars' song Not Like Here are open to interpretation, but it appears to explore the theme of love, human suffering, and the inevitability of life's cyclical nature. The lines "if there ain't no love, then why do you suffer?" suggest that love is a necessary force that makes life worth living, even in the face of suffering. The next line, "when you try to be as good as the last one, Amen", could be interpreted as an acknowledgement of the human tendency to compare ourselves to others, often leading to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.

The chorus, "under circle, everything is circle, circle, and I'm indeed in circle" refers to the idea of life as cyclical and interconnected, where everything that comes around goes around. This could also hint at the theme of rebirth and renewal, as circles often represent continuity and wholeness. The repeated phrase "like I care?" could be interpreted as a defiant and dismissive response to those who judge or criticize, suggesting the singer's confidence in their own path and purpose.

Overall, the song seems to encourage listeners to embrace their own unique journey, regardless of how it compares to others. It also reflects on the importance of love in our lives, and how it can be a powerful force that sustains and uplifts us during difficult times.
