Clarity
Meridian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why are we dying to live
When were just living to die?
I just need something to feel
like I’m still fucking alive

Why are we dying to live
When were just living to die?
I just need something to feel
Like I’m still fucking alive





Like I’m alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Meridian's song Clarity seem to be questioning the purpose of life and death. The first line "Why are we dying to live" suggests that people are too focused on the idea of living that they forget to enjoy life itself. This is further emphasized by the second line "When we're just living to die?", meaning that our ultimate fate is death, and the quest to live long enough becomes pointless. The following line "I just need something to feel" signifies the need for a strong emotional connection to make life worth living, something that will make the person feel alive.


The repetition of the first four lines throughout the song emphasizes the message of the lyrics. The line "Like I'm still fucking alive" is repeated several times, suggesting the desperation and urgency in the need to feel alive. The singer seems to be searching for a purpose or cause that will make life more vibrant and exciting. The song could also be interpreted as rebellion against the monotony of daily life and the need to live life fully before it's too late.
