Not Me
Sacriversum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One poisoned kiss, your lips will show your fear
No persons, only questions written in dark
Forgive me, Father, I'm not guilty
Unholy spaces always take us apart
Even don't ask me who is filthy
Existence means subjectivness so much
The presence, only presence you never know
What's the reaction of this absurd
Dramatis personae on stage in the row
But not this time, existenced muurdered... ..."Da sein"...
It's not me who speaks here so loudly, only my words
Ruby lips explaining so proudly what does it mean...
It's not me controlling politely who closed the doors
Empty phantoms produced here mightly by Roger Blin
The song, "Not Me" by Sacriversum, talks about the uncertainty and the subjective nature of existence. The first two lines of the song reveal that the person exists but is not in the same place, implying a sense of displacement. The reference to a "poisoned kiss" suggests that something undesirable has occurred, and that the person's fear is visible on their lips. The following lines talk about how there are no answers, only questions. The singer even asks for forgiveness, although they claim not to be guilty. This could be an admission of guilt or simply an acknowledgment that there are things beyond their control. The idea that unholy spaces separate individuals further reinforces this sense of isolation.
The lyrics continue to describe the lack of physical form, and how existence is subjective. The idea that one can only experience existence through their own point of view expresses a sense of detachment. The phrase "The presence, only presence you never know" further emphasizes this idea. The line "Dramatis personae on stage in the row, but not this time, existence murdered" could suggest that the events in the song have resulted in someone's death or a sense of loss.
Overall, "Not Me" conveys a sense of uncertainty and detachment. The lyrics suggest that there are no easy answers or absolute truths, and that existence is entirely subjective. The sense of isolation and distance reinforces this feeling of detachment, and the song comes across as a meditation on what it means to exist.
Line by Line Meaning
You still exist, but you are not right here
Though you are alive, you are not present in this moment
One poisoned kiss, your lips will show your fear
Just one untrustworthy person can expose your vulnerability in a moment
No persons, only questions written in dark
A world full of mysteries with very few straightforward answers
Forgive me, Father, I'm not guilty
Seeking forgiveness despite knowing that you have not committed a sin
Unholy spaces always take us apart
Places devoid of sanctity can lead to the distancing of people
Even don't ask me who is filthy
There's no point in finding fault when everything is corrupted
No face, no hands, n body real to touch
Without tangible features, existence becomes purely subjective
Existence means subjectivness so much
The experience of being alive is largely a matter of personal interpretation
The presence, only presence you never know
The subtle existence of something, without knowing its true nature
What's the reaction of this absurd
With so much chaos around us, it's difficult to predict how things will unfold
Dramatis personae on stage in the row
Events unfolding like actors on a stage, scene by scene
But not this time, existenced muurdered... ...'Da sein'...
But this time, existentialism is dead
It's not me who speaks here so loudly, only my words
My words are speaking for me, rather than my true self
Ruby lips explaining so proudly what does it mean...
Words can be deceiving, especially when delivered confidently
It's not me controlling politely who closed the doors
Someone else is in control of the situation, not me
Empty phantoms produced here mightly by Roger Blin
These illusions have been masterfully fabricated by Roger Blin

имел этот шедевр в году 2003 на кассете, на обратной стороне был записан альбом с похожим звучанием только жёстче, меньше клавишных... эх найти бы и его. респект за загрузку шедевра , слеза прокатилась от ностальгии.

@Antonio Hamet Dear Brother, we are going to release the re-edition of our debut album "The Shadow of the Golden Fire" this autumn. It's also the reason of band's reactivation for the anniversary gig in our hometown, Lodz, Poland (22th of October). So we may acclaim that Sacriversum is live again - and we'll be grateful for sharing this info with all those who may concern. ;)
