Let Me Hear You
Sequential One Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You guys do not notice that we are gifted just by being humans
We are absolute predators
We do not even have any enemies
Maybe there are other animals watching us
And thinking that someday "we will beat them down"

Oh We have the brains to think hard
Wear our favorite clothes

We are at no doubt human beings
Many small lives
They were born

With the fate

Of dying for someone

A human baby
When will they find out

That at the point they were born, we are

(The) winners of Earth

Aa hitori naiteita tonari no kimi ga toikakeru
Dakara bokura yorisoi ikiru kirameku made

"Hey, why are you crying?" I ask you, next to me
That′s why we live so close together, until we shine

For what have I been living for?
When will I find out the answer?
An answer that is only for you

What will myself and (the) first scenery I saw
Look like?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sequential One's song "Let Me Hear You" explore the concept of human exceptionalism, the idea that humans are gifted and superior to other animals. The opening lines assert this idea, suggesting that humans are absolute predators with no enemies. The following lines speculate about other animals viewing humans with jealousy or competitive intent. However, the lyrics also hint at the dark side of this perceived superiority, pointing out that while humans enjoy complex lives with clothing and culture, many other lives are arbitrarily born only to be sacrificed for someone else's comfort or needs. The verses seem to express a sense of awe and wonder at the uniqueness of human life, while also acknowledging the responsibilities and ethical implications of that uniqueness.

The chorus of the song shifts to a more personal and introspective tone, with the singer addressing a specific person next to them. The lyrics suggest that the two of them are sharing a moment of emotional vulnerability, with one person crying and the other asking why. The song's title, "Let Me Hear You," takes on several possible meanings in this context - it could be a plea to the crying person to express their emotions, or a request for reassurance that the two of them are not alone. The chorus also expresses a hopeful sense that by living close together and supporting each other, the two individuals can find a way to shine and make their lives meaningful. The final lines of the song shift back to the larger questions of humanity's place in the world, wondering about the purpose of life and the nature of the universe.

Overall, "Let Me Hear You" is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant song that combines grand philosophical themes with personal introspection and empathy.

My first Single CD of General Base was "back again". It played for hours in a loop. SQ1 was before ATB and I liked it very much also. Andre und Thomas ich habe Eure Musik geliebt 🙂
