The sound of a world that's spinning, no matter what. Violent yet soothing. It’s the longing for a bittersweet blow to the face. The funk of Rock'n'Roll. 3 guitars, countless effects, a bass and drums provide a sonic landscape in which a voice, tormented by earthly doubts is accompanied by its transcendent counterpart that only enters your consciousness when you let go of rationality. Monako is, above all: The groove and the feels, the sensual melancholia slowly making its way out of the trap.

Spring
Monako Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I cannot write how I feel
All I see are plain white fields
Frozen lands that cannot speak
They watch us all as we crawl down

Our way til spring comes, til spring comes
til spring comes, til spring comes

Messing a while, messing around
I'm guessing it's about time
I tell you how far I am
I'm far from this, far from home

Even though home seems to move
From place to place

High as a kite I may fly
But it's only because the wind ain't shy
Shy to show it still has faith
In the better days to come

Well they come and go
Well they come and go
Well they come and go

My way, or rather your way?
Is it a right, or is it a left?
I'd like to be more often left aside
Living life as in exile

Get the fuck out of my way
Get the fuck out of my way

Line by Line Meaning

I cannot write how I feel
My emotions are too complex to put into words.

All I see are plain white fields
My surroundings are barren and unstimulating.

Frozen lands that cannot speak
The environment around me is uncommunicative and cold.

They watch us all as we crawl down
The silent observer of our descent.

Our way til spring comes, til spring comes til spring comes, til spring comes
Our journey will continue until there is change and renewal.

Messing a while, messing around
I've been wasting time and avoiding taking action.

I'm guessing it's about time
I sense that it's time for me to take charge.

I tell you how far I am
I reveal to you how far I am from where I want to be.

I'm far from this, far from home
I'm not close to where I should be or where I belong.

Even though home seems to move From place to place
Even though the concept of 'home' changes as I move through life.

High as a kite I may fly But it's only because the wind ain't shy
I may feel triumphant, but it's due to external factors beyond my control.

Shy to show it still has faith In the better days to come Well they come and go Well they come and go Well they come and go
The wind is hesitant to reveal its belief in the future, but change inevitably occurs over time.

My way, or rather your way? Is it a right, or is it a left?
I'm questioning which path to take, unsure of the correct decision.

I'd like to be more often left aside Living life as in exile
I often feel isolated and as though I don't belong.

Get the fuck out of my way Get the fuck out of my way
I want to remove any obstacles blocking my path.
