Taste
Second Decay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That share their brain
I see people
Crying insane
I know people
They believe in god
I don′t know why
I see people
Walking in lines
And I knew
This is not my way
I know its hard
To break all standards
And hope
That I will reach this day
Come with me
To find your style in taste
Come with me
To play your part in taste
Come with me
To break all standards in taste
You know
How to buy your style
You know
How to pay your bills
Take me out
To costly restaurants
All these gifts
Will not cover truths
I see people
Crying in hunger
-But that was only
On TV-screen
So this was
Nothing than bad taste
-Sit down
Enjoy the show
In Second Decay's song Taste, the lyrics delve into the singer's observations of people's behaviors and beliefs. The first stanza notes that the singer knows individuals who share their thoughts and feelings with others as well as those who exhibit outward signs of mental distress. The following stanza mentions people who have a strong belief in God, with the singer questioning the reasoning behind their prayers. The third stanza depicts people walking in lines, insinuating a societal adherence to conformity that the singer does not follow. The final stanza touches on the subject of materialism and its inability to cover deeper truths, as well as the contrast between the reality of global hunger and the portrayal of it on TV.
The chorus, "Come with me to find your style in taste, come with me to play your part in taste, come with me to break all standards in taste," seems to be an invitation to rebel against conformity and find one's own individuality. The lyrics suggest that breaking from societal norms is difficult, but ultimately necessary for personal growth and freedom.
