Microcosm
Semtex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you feel
Can you breathe
Can you touch the place in me
The rooms here are your thread
Find the key to see whats next
It's the constancy of life to press
These are the stars I see
and they're showing me
the way out of space
It's my idea to create a world for my own
There are the small things
I pay attention to
they help to stand the pain
and the agonizing nights I have
the sun shines so warm and full
can you see the rain, which never stopps
there are the needles in me
can you care for me??
These are the stars we see
and they're showing me
the way to your space
It's my idea to create a world for ourselves
These are the stars we see
and they're showing us
the way to our world
It's your idea to create a world for ourselves
And I think I am safe
And I thank you for this
Thank you with a kiss
Yeahhhh
Build a house of paper and let come a storm, it breaks
Build a house of stones, it's a castle.

A safety, which everything stands!
It's our idea to create a world for ourselves

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Semtex's song Microcosm seem to convey a deep sense of personal turmoil and the desire to create a world of one's own to find solace in. The first verse poses a series of questions about the singer's ability to feel, breathe, and be touched, perhaps hinting at a feeling of disconnection from the world around them. The following lines speak of the rooms being a thread that must be unraveled to find the key to what comes next, perhaps alluding to the idea that there is a path to be discovered through the chaos of life.


The chorus talks about stars that are seen, showing the way out of space and to the singer's world. This idea of creating a world of one's own comes up repeatedly throughout the song, with the singer saying it is their idea, and later, it is the idea to create a world for ourselves. The final verse speaks of building a safe haven out of paper or stone, again emphasizing the desire for safety and the need to create one's own world.
