Mission
Murmurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loud awakening
Lost myself in pointless missions
Hope to live
Hope to learn
Hope to love
Hope to be forgiven
Leftover dreams forgotten
Waiting
Waiting to be filled and found
Spilt milk tears for other fears
Beat myself up through the years
For my distant knowledge and neglect
For the ones I love
We left behind
No crumbs to find our way home
Love me now one, two, one spirit
I cannot hide in silence
Take me, or leave me naked my cloth is surface anyway
Leftover dreams forgotten
Misplaced thoughts, and empty spaces
Waiting
Waiting to be filled and found
Spilt milk tears for other fears
Beat myself up through the years
For my distant knowledge and neglect
Love me now one, two, one spirit
I cannot hide in silence
Take me, or leave me naked my cloth is surface anyway
Silent Whispers
Loud awakening
Silent Whispers
Loud awakening
The lyrics of Murmurs' song "Mission" portray a sense of emptiness and a longing for meaning and purpose. The opening lines of "Silent Whispers / Loud awakening" suggest an inner conflict, where the singer is aware of their subconscious desires but struggles to awaken and act on them. The repetition of the lines "Leftover dreams forgotten / Misplaced thoughts, and empty spaces / Waiting / Waiting to be filled and found" highlights the feeling of being lost and aimless, trying to attain a sense of fulfillment but failing to do so.
The penultimate stanza of the song is particularly poignant, where the singer expresses remorse and guilt for neglecting their loved ones in their pursuit of something undefined. The line "Beat myself up through the years / For my distant knowledge and neglect / For the ones I love / We left behind / No crumbs to find our way home" suggests a sense of regret and a desire to reconnect with those they have lost touch with. The final lines of "Love me now one, two, one spirit / I cannot hide in silence / Take me, or leave me naked my cloth is surface anyway" suggest an acceptance of vulnerability and a willingness to be seen for who they are.
Overall, "Mission" seems to be a reflection on the human experience of searching for purpose and meaning in a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain. The lyrical repetition and the introspective themes give the song a solemn, reflective quality.
