Senseless
Scarve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pulling me down
Gnawing at me
Devouring me raw
Shut myself off
Far too Unworthy
Dreams is my shelter
Can I take it all ?
Leaping and screaming
In from all sides
Melting and weaving
Locked in the ride
Turn myself out
Yearning for empty
Dream is my shelter
Senseless I will be
Hack my way through evolution
Stand and embrace evolution
Some jewels must remain untouched
Can I take it all and face myself ?
Some illusions must remain enthroned
I will take it all!
The lyrics of Scarve's song "Senseless" seem to explore the theme of being overwhelmed by the challenges of life, but finding a way to cope through inner strength and perseverance. The opening lines of the song suggest that the struggles faced by the singer are burning and gnawing at them, causing them to feel overwhelmed and consumed. However, the singer refuses to let these challenges defeat them, and shuts themselves off - perhaps from negative influences or distractions - and seeks sanctuary in their dreams.
The chorus of the song is a cry of defiance, as the singer asks themselves if they can take it all, suggesting that they are willing to face whatever challenges come their way with courage and resilience. The next verse describes a feeling of being trapped, as the singer is "locked in the ride" and can only watch as their life unfolds before them. However, they continue to seek refuge in their dreams, which they describe as their shelter. Finally, the song seems to urge the listener to embrace change and evolution, suggesting that even though some things should be left untouched, it is important to take risks and face challenges in order to grow and develop as a person.
Overall, the lyrics of "Senseless" seem to be a powerful message of resilience, urging the listener to persevere through the struggles of life and to never give up on their dreams.
