The Man
Modern Pitch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it true that the fires still burn?
That the boys from the masters still learn?
Are the games and the nonsense gonna die?
Is the call gonna be heard up from this far?

And the man got closer to the moon
Just to find all the ocean in a spoon.
Is it soon for the battles to fall?
For the war and fights to be won?
Are the troops and the heroes coming back?
Will the boy be reborn into a star?

And the man got closer to the moon
Just to find all the ocean in a spoon.
And the man got closer to the sun
Just to fly way over to the shark.

And the man got closer to the moon
Just to find all the ocean in a spoon.




And the man got closer to the sun
Just to fly way over to the shark.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Modern Pitch's song "The Man" seem to be dealing with themes of curiosity, exploration, and the search for meaning. The opening lines - "Is it true that the fires still burn? / That the boys from the masters still learn? / Are the games and the nonsense gonna die? / Is the call gonna be heard up from this far?" - suggest a desire to know whether certain traditions, routines, and practices are still being carried out, or whether they are fading away. The questions feel almost existential in nature, as if the singer is grappling with the passing of time and the impermanence of things.


The next set of questions - "Is it soon for the battles to fall? / For the war and fights to be won? / Are the troops and the heroes coming back? / Will the boy be reborn into a star?" - continues this theme of uncertainty and searching. The imagery of battles and wars suggests a sense of conflict, whether internal or external, that the singer is hoping will resolve itself. The idea of a boy being reborn as a star seems to be a metaphor for transformation and transcendence, perhaps suggesting a longing for something beyond the mundane or mundane aspects of life.


The repeated line "And the man got closer to the moon / Just to find all the ocean in a spoon" could be interpreted in a variety of ways, but it seems to suggest a sense of wonder and scale. The idea that someone could travel all the way to the moon and still only experience a tiny fraction of the universe is both humbling and awe-inspiring. The final line of the chorus - "And the man got closer to the sun / Just to fly way over to the shark" - seems to extend this idea even further, as if the singer is exploring the vastness of the cosmos while also encountering unexpected and surreal phenomena.


Overall, "The Man" feels like a contemplative and dream-like song that invites interpretation and reflection. It raises questions about the nature of existence, our place in the world, and the mysteries that await us.
