Retro Stefson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the furthest from someone,
I'm the chord that wont resolve,
is this what i've become,
And i just cannot leave,
I keep on burning from the heat,
I'm blinded from the spill,
Of light here she shines on me, And oh shes bringing in shes bringing in the light,
dont count on your satellites,
to say shes here tonight
just know shes bringing in
shes bringing in the light.Oh she likes to lead,
Everyway she led me on,
She took the ground beneath my feet,
And drew me closer to the sun,
My mind is spinning right to the edge,
I'm veering out of control,
And gracefully reel me in,
Here she comes, here she goes.And oh shes bringing in shes bringing in the light,
And i'm, i'm getting it, i get it i'm alive
dont count on your satellites,
to say shes here tonight
just know shes bringing in
shes bringing in the light.
And oh shes bringing in shes bringing in the light, And i'm, i'm getting it, i get it i'm alive
dont count on your satellites,
to say shes here tonight
just know shes bringing in
shes bringing in the light.
And oh shes bringing in shes bringing in the light, And i'm, i'm getting it, i get it i'm alive
dont count on your satellites,
to say shes here tonight
just know shes bringing in
shes bringing in the light.Just know shes bringing in
Shes bringing in the light
The song "Solaris" by Retro Stefson speaks about a feeling of being disconnected from someone despite being physically close to them. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song - the singer feels like they are close to the sun but far from someone. The line "I'm the chord that won't resolve, is this what I've become?" is a metaphor for feeling incomplete and not fully satisfied. The chorus then introduces a woman who is "bringing in the light" and makes the singer feel alive. However, the bridge reveals that this woman is not always a positive influence - "she took the ground beneath my feet and drew me closer to the sun" implies that she can be unpredictable and dangerous. Despite this, the singer cannot resist her pull: "I just cannot leave, I keep on burning from the heat."
The song's title, "Solaris," is a reference to a science fiction book by Stanislaw Lem. The book tells the story of a planet that communicates with the scientists studying it by creating human-like replicas from their memories. The planet, Solaris, is a metaphor for the human mind and the way we perceive reality. The song also references the idea of satellites, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for technology and the way it can interfere with human relationships.
