Emergency
Pegboard Nerds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me be absolutely clear
This is mine but I'll let you in
Gather round take a part of it
Of me, of me
A wasted life seems to mean the most
But these seconds are valuable
Breathe in change or let it go and breathe
These lyrics speak to the concept of giving oneself over to others while still feeling in control. The artist acknowledges that what they have is theirs but also opens themselves up to sharing it. The phrase "of me" denotes a certain level of self-sacrifice - the singer is giving a piece of themselves away. The next line, "A wasted life seems to mean the most" suggests an underlying angst or dissatisfaction with life's normalcy. The artist may feel their life would be wasted if they didn't explore and experiment with their music. The following line, "But these seconds are valuable" gives a twisty perspective that seems to be saying, "while my life may be wasting away, these moments spent creating this music are what's most valuable." Finally, the artist implores to "Breathe in change or let it go and breathe" which conveys a sense of urgency (hence the title "Emergency") and encourages one to seize opportunity or to move on and let go - whichever is necessary for the moment."
