Origami
Monoh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
life\'s an origami and I\'m the paper sheet.
Fate hits me twice,
and no one is cares for me.
(Chorus 1) How could you, how could you...
There\'s no place I may rest.
I’m wearing black
From head to toe
(Chorus) But who\'s this feeling: there\'s hope in me.
Lord, forgive me. I don\'t believe
No I can\'t cry
Neither go anywhere outside.
Those dark days
have come here... to stay.
How could you
How...
(Chorus) But who\'s this feeling: there\'s hope in me.
Lord, forgive me. I don\'t believe
In "Origami," Monoh contemplates the fragility of life and the idea that we, as human beings, are just delicate paper sheets that can easily be crumpled or torn. The lyrics reflect on the struggles and challenges of fate, which can hit us repeatedly and leave us feeling alone and overlooked. The first verse suggests that the singer feels like they are insignificant and uncared for, despite being a part of the larger fold of life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "How could you" as a lamentation for the difficulties that life presents. However, in the second verse, the singer seems to take a more contemplative and accepting tone. They wear black and seem to be in a state of mourning, but despite this, they also express a feeling of hope. They ask for forgiveness and profess that they don't have the strength to cry, but they also don't want to be constrained by their current circumstances.
The song concludes with the repetition of the chorus, but this time the singer adds the line: "But who's this feeling: there's hope in me." The song seems to be a reflection on the fact that even when things seem their bleakest, there is always the possibility of hope and renewal.

How could it be
I cannot believe that life is like origami and I am the paper sheet.
Life's an origami and I'm the paper sheet.
Life is like an origami as it keeps folding and unfolding me, like a paper sheet.
Fate hits me twice,
I am hit by bad luck and misfortunes repeatedly.
and no one cares for me.
No one cares for me or supports me in my hardships.
(Chorus 1) How could you, how could you...
I am questioning and blaming someone or something for my suffering.
I'm going down.
I am losing hope and feeling defeated.
There's no place I may rest.
I cannot find peace or comfort anywhere.
I’m wearing black
I am feeling sad and depressed.
From head to toe
I am feeling sad all over my body.
(Chorus) But who's this feeling: there's hope in me.
Despite my sadness, a glimmer of hope is emerging within me.
Lord, forgive me. I don't believe
I am losing faith and doubting myself and my beliefs.
No, I can't cry
I feel so numb that I cannot even cry.
Neither go anywhere outside.
I am isolating myself and not leaving my home.
Those dark days have come here... to stay.
My sadness and hardship are here to stay for a while.
How could you
I am still questioning or blaming someone or something for my suffering.
(Chorus) But who's this feeling: there's hope in me.
I am experiencing a spark of hope within me despite my sadness.
