Bardo States
Salvia Plath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm inspired untill I retire, all that I do.
When your livin', There's no forgivin', Those things you do.
Im inspired, till i'm retired, all that I do.
Im entitled, to take me higher, that's what we do.
See the ceiling, thats with we're dealing, is'nt it good?
In the song "Bardo States" by Salvia Plath, the lyrics suggest that when one is alive, there are no opportunities for forgiveness for one's actions. The singer is committed to being inspired until they retire, and all they do is directed towards that inspiration. The lyrics suggest a sense of entitlement in taking oneself higher, asserting that it is their right to strive for greatness. The line "see the ceiling, that's what we're dealing with, isn't it good?" likely suggests a recognition of the limitations and challenges that come with striving for greatness, but it is still something to be celebrated and pursued.
The lyrics of this song suggest a sense of determination and ambition that is palpable. The repetition of the phrase "when you're living, there's no forgivin'" underscores the urgency and importance the singer places on achieving their goals. At the same time, the line "see the ceiling, that's what we're dealing with" offers a level of realism that grounds the song somewhat, suggesting that while the singer may be striving for greatness, they also understand the limitations and challenges that come with it.
