Scar Symmetry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I drift between dimensions
I'm lifeless, immortal
Collapsed duality
My language is wordless
A silent scream to your ears
Enigma in plain sight
Time/space anomaly
Quantumleaper
Found unfound
Voice of reason
Lost its tongue
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Choose where I can't go and I am there
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Even when I'm gone, you know I'm here
I'm right here and nowhere
Upon me rests creation
I am wave and lepton
The eerie paradox
Wrong focus, wrong methods
This way you'll never get me
Exclude flesh, include mind
And drift along with me
Quantumleaper
Found unfound
Voice of reason
Lost its tongue
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Choose where I can't go and I am there
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Even when I'm gone, you know I'm here
You observe me in a grain of sand
Infinity beheld
Universe in the palm of your hand
Infinity unveiled
View this progress as an omen
When mind allows, feel it pull you further down
Quantumleaper
Found unfound
Voice of reason
Lost its tongue
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Choose where I can't go and I am there
If you rise I'll fall, unknown once I was known
Even when I'm gone, you know I'm here
In "Quantumleaper" by Scar Symmetry, the singer explores their existence as a being that exists in multiple dimensions simultaneously. They describe themselves as "nothing and all things," meaning they have transcended the boundaries of physical form and identity. They also refer to themselves as "lifeless, immortal," highlighting the paradoxical nature of their existence. The singer's language is described as "wordless," yet there is a silent scream that can be heard by those who are receptive to it. This paradoxical description continues as the singer is referred to as both a "wave and lepton."
The chorus of the song speaks to the singer's ability to shift between dimensions and realities. They are found and unfound, a voice of reason that has lost its tongue. They are present where they are needed, and if someone rises, they will fall. The final verse speaks to the singer's power and the ability to be observer and creator simultaneously. They urge the listener to see their existence as an omen and to allow their mind to be pulled into the depths of the unknown.
Overall, "Quantumleaper" is a complex exploration of the nature of existence, identity, and the ability to transcend physical limitations. The paradoxical language used in the lyrics creates an otherworldly atmosphere that reflects the theme of the song.
