Metamorphosis
Radium88 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
yes indeed night-time is the right time
climb up out of the void
get what I need
don't remember choosing, only dream of losing
this protection, armoured shell
see your star from the dark of my gravity well
icy isolation, deep-space chill
Come to me and I will give you rest
time sinking sand
gotta get inside her
make her understand
about the dried-up spider with the shaky hand
working the controls
I advance out of my black hole
to the very place where you keep your soul
have I got a chance, am I getting through
all I've got is empty space, an IOU
In the first verse of Radium88's song Metamorphosis, the singer is addressing someone named "mister mechanoid" in the midnight hour, indicating a time of transitioning and change. The singer is urging Mr. Mechanoid to climb out of the void and give him what he needs. The singer doesn't remember choosing this path, but only dreams of losing the protection of his armoured shell. This could refer to the idea of shedding his old self and becoming something new. The singer also mentions seeing a star from the dark of his gravity well, which could be interpreted as him noticing hope or inspiration in the darkness. The icy isolation and deep-space chill allude to the sense of detachment or emptiness that the singer may feel on this transformative journey. The singer concludes the verse by stating that If he doesn't spark now, then he never will, implying that this may be his chance to make the change that he desires.
In the following verse, the singer brings up the concept of time rapidly sinking away, and the need to get inside someone, possibly metaphorically speaking about connecting on a deeper emotional level, in order to make them understand something. The dried-up spider with the shaky hand working the controls could represent a feeling of instability or uncertainty in the process of change. The singer mentions advancing out of his black hole to the very place where the soul is kept, suggesting a move towards something more spiritual or existential. He wonders if he's getting through and states that all he has is empty space and an IOU, indicating that he may be out of resources, both material and emotional, but willing to take the risk anyways.
Overall, the lyrics of the song Metamorphosis portray a sense of embarking on a journey of change or self-discovery, with all the uncertainty and fear that can come with it. The singer acknowledges the need to leave behind past constrictions, but also the difficulty of doing so. They express a sense of confronting the void and attempting to find something hopeful and meaningful in the midst of it.
