Ssh... Listen
Motherjane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the cry of a child
A new beginning
And the truth implied.
Ssh...listen,
To the vagaries of rain,
That stops short of the desert
And listen to the nature
Of your love,
Your reasons for living
When reason's not enough.
Ssh...listen
To the paradox of youth,
The feeling when life
Is pregnant with truth.
Ssh...listen,
To the reflections of your worlds
As the mirrors of paradigm,
And life unfolds.
And listen
To the kingdoms choice bequeths
From the elysian fields
To beyond the river styx.
And listen
To the insane prediction
Reality weavers
In the face of conviction
The song "Ssh...Listen" by Motherjane is an ode to the beauty and honesty of nature, life, and love. The tone is tranquil and reflective, and the lyrics are filled with poetic metaphors that invite the listener to open their ears and hearts to the world around them. The first verse encourages us to listen to the cry of a child, a symbol of innocence and beginnings, and the truth that it implies. The second verse invites us to listen to the vagaries of rain, a force of nature that can bring life or destruction, and the paradox of youth, the moment of life when we feel most alive and most vulnerable. The third verse urge us to listen to the reflections of our world and our own hearts, the paradigm and the life that unfold before us. The final lines encourage us to listen to the insane predictions of reality weavers, the people who dare to dream big and challenge the status quo.
The lyrics of "Ssh...Listen" are full of subtle nuances that suggest that the true beauty of life and love lies in the moments of paradox and contradiction. The rain that falls on the desert and the plains at the same time, the feeling of being pregnant with truth in the midst of life's challenges, the reflections of our lives in the mirrors of paradigm, and the desire to dream big in a world that demands conformity all suggest that the key to true happiness lies not in following others, but in listening to the voice within us that dares to be different.
Line by Line Meaning
Ssh...listen,
Be silent and listen attentively
To the cry of a child
Listen to the innocent and vulnerable, and empathize with them
A new beginning
A fresh start, a chance to grow and change
And the truth implied.
The hidden, unspoken reality that lies beneath the surface
To the vagaries of rain,
To the unpredictability and variability of nature
That stops short of the desert
The limitations and boundaries of the environment
And deluges the plains.
The power and intensity of natural disasters, and their effects on the landscape
And listen to the nature
The essence and fundamental qualities of something
Of your love,
The deep and personal emotions one feels towards another person or thing
Your reasons for living
The motivation and purpose one has for existing and pursuing their goals
When reason's not enough.
When logic and rational thought cannot fully explain or justify one's actions or beliefs
To the paradox of youth,
The conflicting and complex experiences and emotions associated with growing up
The feeling when life
The sensation and perception of existence and being alive
Is pregnant with truth.
When reality and understanding are in the process of being developed and discovered
To the reflections of your worlds
The ways in which one's surroundings and experiences shape their perceptions and beliefs
As the mirrors of paradigm,
The models of thinking and conceptual frameworks that one uses to understand the world
And life unfolds.
The ongoing, dynamic process of existence and change
To the kingdoms choice bequeths
The legacy and inheritance bestowed upon future generations by the decisions and actions of those in power
From the elysian fields
The mythical afterlife associated with paradise and happiness
To beyond the river styx.
The final resting place associated with death and darkness
To the insane prediction
The absurd and unlikely foresight or foreseeings
Reality weavers
Those who shape and mold perception and understanding of the world
In the face of conviction
Despite deeply held beliefs and attitudes
