Suspended
Messa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crown wearing
Contradiction
Closed, open doors
Behind these walls
Trails to dust
Bile you swallow
Resounding in
My deep sleep
Too close to them
Suspended
Awakened by
A deep splash, cold
He's coming near
Heavy dawn
Lines of eyes
Over my head I am still the
Barking dog
Too close to them
Suspended
Stench of dreams
Absorbing, made flesh
Proclaiming the newborn blood
Impatient, hungry
Let all waste
Keys align
And you disperse
Fields of waves
Pointing to their graves
Tears of coal
Trace maps with swords
Weight of rays
Coming near, damp black
Bitter blowing
Through your skull




Too close to them
Suspended

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Messa's song Suspended depict a feeling of entrapment and disorientation. The first few lines, "Crown wearing, contradiction, closed, open doors, behind these walls," seem to suggest a state of confusion. The references to crowns and doors signify power and opportunities, but being closed and contradicting create a sense of being trapped and helpless. The next few lines, "Trails to dust, bile you swallow, resounding in my deep sleep," indicate a feeling of discomfort and suffering. The trails to dust suggest a journey that leads to nothingness. Bile you swallow implies the difficulty of carrying something unpleasant or painful. Resounding in my deep sleep signifies that the pain or suffering is so intense that it disturbs even the sleep.


The chorus, "Too close to them, suspended," reinforces the idea of being trapped or stuck in a situation that is suffocating. The lines, "Awakened by a deep splash, cold, he's coming near, heavy dawn," bring a sense of foreboding. The use of the phrase "deep splash" and "heavy dawn" suggest a sense of danger. The next few lines, "Lines of eyes, over my head, I am still the barking dog," seem to indicate that the person is still fighting even in a state of suspension. The barking dog reference typically symbolizes a form of protection and loyalty, even in the most challenging times.


The following lines, "Stench of dreams, absorbing, made flesh, proclaiming the newborn blood. Impatient, hungry, let all waste," seem to describe the desire to transform and become something bigger or better. The "stench of dreams" might indicate the difficulty of achieving that goal. "Newborn blood" can symbolize renewal and change. The phrase "impatient, hungry, let all waste," signifies an urgency to move forward and not let anything hold back. The last few lines, "Fields of waves, pointing to their graves, tears of coal, trace maps with swords, weight of rays, coming near, damp black, bitter blowing through your skull," use an array of vivid images to depict the idea of facing impending doom. The "fields of waves" and "tears of coal" conjure a sense of hopelessness. The use of swords and weight, damped black, and bitter blowing indicate that the danger is getting closer and is inevitable.
