Flickering Thoughts
Myriads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can see the falseness lying in thee,
Fills me with confusion and distrust
Innocence,
I can see the wildness figured in thee,
Reject the pose of injured chastity
Quietness,
I can feel the energies emission,
Justify the truth which keeps my feet on the ground
I am hidden in a veil of distrust and speculation
With my own eyes I see through falseness and betrayal,
With my own eyes
[Chorus]
There are no extremities around you
Everything is influenced by an opposite
There are no purities and perfectibilities
There are no words of admonition
You are imposing your thoughts on others,
Excluding their help and ideas without reflection
You will be confined,
Your reality is overthrown
Purity within my innocent presence
I strive to live in virtuousness and reject indolence and delusion
Without wildness I live in perfect harmony,
Without wildness
[Chorus]
Who are you to impose your thoughts and conceptions on others?
You exist in false dreams and lies without veracity
Predilection for yourself and your derelict ideas
Deepened in your depraved world within your mind
Do you really trust yourself, omniscient,
Pure and unaffected, following your own axioms?
One can imagine the pure ideas of all states,
But they do not really exist uninfluenced
In silence the falling snow fortifies my feelings
In solitude I am comfortable without energies around me
Drifting into a timeless world without limitations,
A timeless world
[Chorus]
I am on the dark side of the earth in perpetual night
I am all alone with my shadow following my eyes
I am longing for the sun touching my callous coldness
Lost connection with ground, feeling a stagnation of time
Like the mirror of water reflecting his shadow in his eyes,
Painted on the waves when they rise
Looks for a place for landing, there is no place to settle down
Fly into the clouds higher above
I am on the dark side of the earth in perpetual night
I am all alone with my shadow following my eyes
I am longing for the sun touching my callous coldness
Lost connection with ground, feeling a stagnation of time
Flying higher in my wildness,
Far away from this place
My thoughts are flickering in a maze
Of wisdom and insanity
Flying higher in his wildness,
Far away from this place
His thoughts are flickering in a maze
Of wisdom and insanity
The lyrics of "Flickering Thoughts" by Myriads seem to delve into themes of truth, trust, and purity. In the first verse, the singer highlights the paradoxical nature of truth - how it can be both framed and yet dishonest. They reject the idea of indulging in "injured chastity" in favor of embracing wildness seen in innocence. The second verse speaks to the danger of imposing one's thoughts and conceptions on others, as it can lead to confinement and an overthrow of reality. The chorus seems to highlight the concept of balance and opposition, rather than extremes or absolutes. The bridge questions the notion of self-trust and the degree of influence that external factors have on one's thoughts and ideas. The final verse compares the singer's sense of isolation and stagnation to the image of a shadow following them in the perpetual night of the dark side of the earth. The idea of flying higher in one's wildness seems to suggest an escape from this stagnation and confusion, but also hints at the danger of losing oneself in the maze of wisdom and insanity.
