Zero Gravity
Mnemic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wasted time to be, what you wanted from me
Light I can see, turn it out in me
Wasted time to be, what you wanted from me
Light I can see, turn it out in me
Wasted time to be, what you wanted from me
Light I can see, turn it out in me
Wasted time to be, what you wanted from me
Light I can see, turn it out in me
Wasted time to be, what you wanted from me
Light I can see, turn it out in me
Wasted time to be, what you wanted from me
In Mnemic's song "Zero Gravity", the lyrics repeat over and over again, “Light I can see, turn it out in me, wasted time to be, what you wanted from me.” These lyrics seem to be expressing a sense of feeling trapped and held back by external expectations or demands. The imagery of light is used to describe a potential for growth and positive change within the singer, but something is holding them back and causing their time to be wasted. The repeated phrase also hints at a sense of frustration and exhaustion with trying to meet these expectations.
The song could be interpreted as a statement about the pressure and expectations that society puts on individuals. These expectations can cause feelings of frustration, anxiety, and helplessness. The lyrics also suggest that the singer is aware of this outside pressure and is actively seeking to break away from it.
The repetition of the lyrics could also represent a sense of being stuck in a cycle, unable to escape the pressures that are weighing down on the singer. The consistent use of the phrase could act as a reminder to the listener of the negative effects that living up to others' expectations can have on an individual.
