The Sound
Sean King Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I feel the sound
Crawling past my name
Set in stone just by might and family

But I set my plane
I set it down
And through the fog I fought aways
To find my sound

And I feel the sound
It ain't to far from fame.
Truly sewn
Just in turn to apathy

But I set my plane
I set it down
And through the fog I fought aways
To find my sound

And I feel the sound
crawling past my name
Set in stone
Just by might and family

But I set my plane
I set it down

And through the fog I fought aways
To find my sound

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sean King's song "The Sound" convey the struggle of finding one's own identity and voice amidst societal and familial expectations. The repeated line "And I feel the sound" represents the artist's connection to their inner calling and the yearning to express themselves authentically.

The first verse talks about the artist being trapped within the confines of their name and the expectations placed upon them by their family. The reference to being "set in stone just by might and family" suggests that their path in life has been predetermined, possibly by the influence and pressure of their lineage. However, the artist decides to defy these expectations and set their own course, symbolized by "setting their plane down." They navigate through the uncertainties and challenges represented by the fog, determined to discover their true sound or their unique contribution to the world.

In the second verse, the artist emphasizes that their pursuit of their sound is not too far from fame, indicating their desire for recognition and success. However, they recognize that true success is not merely based on superficial achievements but on truly connecting with their purpose. The line "Truly sewn just in turn to apathy" implies that fame obtained without staying true to oneself leads to indifference and emptiness. Once again, the artist decides to steer their own path and fight through obstacles to find their authentic sound.

The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the artist's relentless determination to break free from societal expectations and find their sound. The overall message of the song is about the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the face of external pressures, and pursuing one's passion and purpose.

And I feel the sound
I am aware of the vibrations and energy around me

Crawling past my name
Slowly moving beyond the identity associated with me

Set in stone just by might and family
Established firmly through power and ancestral ties

But I set my plane
Nevertheless, I chart my own course

I set it down
I firmly ground myself

And through the fog I fought aways
Despite the challenges and uncertainty, I persevered

To find my sound
In search of my true expression and voice

It ain't too far from fame
It is not too distant from recognition and success

Truly sewn
Genuinely woven together

Just in turn to apathy
Only to be met with indifference and disregard
