IMAGINATION
Pallas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake-up, Switch-on,
Tune-in to another day,
Stereo sound with double vision,
Daylight makes its first incision,
Warmed-up Clocked-in,
On your feet and under way,
Got to fight that Monday-morning feeling!
But in my head,
A savage beats out time with a drum
And it won't go away
Gone Tomorrow, here Today,
Wish I was a million miles away
Imagination, takes me where I want to go,
Imagination, don't fail me now---I need you now,
Turn left, turn right,
Bottle-necked and boxed in tight,
Every day the same old story,
Day to day routines all bore me,
Wound-up, Penned-in,
Raw meat in the lion's den
Don't know where my confidence is going
But in my head,
A savage still beats time with a drum
And it won't go away.
Gone Tomorrow, Here today,
Wish I was a million miles away




Imagination, takes me where I want to go
Imagination, Don't fail me now---I need you now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Pallas's Imagination seem to be describing a feeling of monotony and routine in daily life, particularly in regards to work. The first verse sets the scene of waking up to another day, but the lyrics suggest a lack of enthusiasm or motivation for what lies ahead. The reference to a "Monday-morning feeling" implies a sense of dread or reluctance to begin the workweek. However, the chorus offers a form of escape through the power of imagination. The singer longs to be somewhere else, "a million miles away," and seeks refuge in their own mind where they can dream and explore beyond the boundaries of their daily routine.


The second verse continues to paint a picture of feeling stuck and boxed in, without any sense of creative or personal freedom. The line "Don't know where my confidence is going" suggests a loss of self-assurance or belief in one's abilities. Once again, the chorus comes to the forefront with an uplifting message of hope through the imagination. The lyrics seem to suggest that while the daily routine may be suffocating, the power of imagination can lead to endless possibilities and even moments of transcendence.


Overall, Pallas's Imagination is a song about seeking escape from mundane routines and finding inspiration in creative and imaginative thoughts. The lyrics speak to a larger human longing for something beyond the everyday and the importance of maintaining a sense of wonder and curiosity in life.
