Atmosphere
Siderartica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Don't walk away.
Don't turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Don't walk away.
People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Don't walk away in silence,
Don't walk away.
The lyrics to Siderartica's "Atmosphere" seem to be about the danger and difficulties that come from endless talking and life rebuilding. The chorus ("Walk in silence, Don't walk away, in silence") seems to be urging the listener to keep pressing forward in spite of these challenges. There is a sense of confusion and self-hate ("Your confusion, My illusion, Worn like a mask of self-hate") that the singer is trying to confront and overcome.
The second verse brings in another character ("People like you find it easy") and describes the ease with which some people seem to move through life, almost as if they are "Walking on air." The hunting imagery suggests that this carefree way of living is not sustainable and that there are dangers lurking around every corner.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a need to keep moving forward in the face of difficult circumstances. The repetition of "Don't walk away" serves as a reminder to stay engaged with life and to confront the challenges that come our way.
