Seer
Motopony Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am a sinner, baby, I am a deceiver
I am so selfish and so proud
There is no question of my need to be delivered
I'll never get in if I'm afraid of comin' out
I am a seer, baby, I am a believer
My name is written in the clouds
You never dream but life flows by you like a river
You'll never jump in if you are still afraid to drown
Are you still afraid to drown?
CHORUS:
Starin' at that cold river
Hangin' on to the roots of a broken tree (dream?)
Said can you control your shivers?
'Cause whatever that cold river takes she keeps
The spirit's flowin', mama, make your body quiver
It's wellin' up from underground
The lord has spoken, lover, give it to the river
You'll never get high if you're afraid of comin' down
Are you afraid of comin' down?




CHORUS
Don't you know that the river plays deep?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Motopony's song Seer portray a sense of introspection, as the singer acknowledges his own flaws and shortcomings. He admits to being a sinner and deceiver, selfish and proud.

The singer is hanging onto the roots of a broken tree or dream, trying to control his shivers and overcome his fear of the unknown. He encourages the listener to embrace the flow of the spirit, which is welling up from underground. He encourages the listener to give in to the river and not be afraid of coming down. The song ends with a final reminder that the river plays deep, indicating that the challenges of life are not superficial but require true courage and resilience to navigate.


Overall, Seer is a song about the human condition - our flaws and fears, our hopes and beliefs, and our ongoing struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The lyrics encourage us to embrace both the light and the darkness, to confront our fears and take risks, and to trust in the power of faith and the spirit to guide us through life's challenges.
