No sense
Marsheaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words make no sense, I'm flowing
Sounds in my head get louder
Who am I? I wonder
We can laugh until we cry we can laugh
We can dream until we die
You know I know
Take off and go
The lyrics to Marsheaux's song "No Sense" speak to the feeling of being lost and confused. The first line, "I forget where I'm going," conveys a sense of wandering and uncertainty. The second line, "Words make no sense, I'm flowing," suggests that the singer is unable to express themselves clearly, either because they don't know what they want to say, or because they feel like no one is listening. The following line, "Sounds in my head get louder," describes an overwhelming sense of confusion and chaos.
The chorus, "We can laugh until we cry we can laugh / We can dream until we die," is a bittersweet message about the fleeting nature of joy and the inevitability of death. The last line, "Take off and go," can be interpreted as a call to action or an expression of frustration. The singer may be urging themselves or someone else to take control and start moving forward, or they may be expressing a desire to escape their current situation altogether.
Overall, "No Sense" is a song that captures the feeling of being lost and searching for direction. The lyrics offer a mix of confusion and hope, suggesting that even in the midst of chaos, there is still the possibility of finding joy and meaning in life.
