Panda
Rasmus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like a rope between you n' your fellows.
It's like a web, you're stuck. How could it be so that
Some people don't always know how they feel?
When you can talk to somebody who you can trust.
When you can lie to that somebody when you must.
It's like health, respect, because you still got one.
It's like freedom, making some people jealous.
It's like a rope between you n' your fellows.
It's like a web, you're stuck. How could it be so that
Some people don't always know how they feel?
The lyrics to Rasmus's song "Panda" explore the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the emotional toll they can take. The opening lines suggest that the feeling of freedom can lead to jealousy in others, perhaps because they don't feel as free as the singer. The metaphor of a rope between individuals highlights the interconnectedness of people and the ways in which our actions affect others. The line "It's like a web, you're stuck" evokes a sense of entrapment and perhaps even despair in the face of these difficult relationships. The final line "Some people don't always know how they feel" suggests that the complexity of emotions and relationships can sometimes be overwhelming and confusing.
The second verse explores the idea of trust and the way in which it allows for both honesty and deception. The singer suggests that being able to lie to someone can be as important as being able to trust them completely. The line "It is the way that I feel, I'm not the only one" further emphasizes the idea that these emotions and experiences are universal.
Overall, "Panda" seems to be a contemplation of the difficulties of navigating relationships and emotions in a way that is honest and true to oneself. The use of metaphors and imagery adds depth and complexity to the song, allowing the listener to connect with the emotions and experiences being described.
