Observer
Solar Fake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They've found you amongst the waves
I went away 2 weeks ago
On normal days I'm not used to saying goodbye many times
No looking back, but hey you know, just a glimpse to remember the times
I'm not too sentimental, just don't want to forget everything

The distance was growing fast
I still feel your breathing on my skin
Expected you behind me
But you're never there when I look around
So I forge ahead and I feel sure I'll never get any rest
I'm feeling weak, but I have nothing to regret

Escaped before I fell apart
Why the fuck you broke my heart
Another end, another start
Why the fuck you broke my heart

I can't put them into any order
The million image-shreds of your face
I should not care about you, but get me further away
Can you tell me how I could resist




To watch them saving you from the sea
They'll surely fail, they'll be too late, it's too late.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Solar Fake's "Observer" explore the feelings of separation, loss, and betrayal. The singer seems to be speaking to a former lover who has broken their heart. The opening lines, "They've found you amongst the waves, I went away 2 weeks ago," suggest that while the singer has moved on, their former partner has encountered some sort of trouble or danger at sea. This creates a sense of tension and uncertainty.


Despite their distance, the singer still feels the presence of their former lover, as they say "I still feel your breathing on my skin." This creates a sense of longing and nostalgia, which is tinged with regret as the singer thinks about their relationship and what might have been. The lines "Escaped before I fell apart, Why the fuck you broke my heart, Another end, another start," suggest that the singer has moved on from their relationship, but they are still hurt and angry about the way it ended.


The final lines of the song, "Can you tell me how I could resist, To watch them saving you from the sea, They'll surely fail, they'll be too late, it's too late," suggest a sense of fatalism and resignation. The singer knows that they can't change the past or undo what has been done. Despite their own pain and sadness, they still feel a sense of concern for their former lover and are powerless to help them.

They've found you amongst the waves
You were rescued from drowning in the sea


I went away 2 weeks ago
I left two weeks ago


On normal days I'm not used to saying goodbye many times
I don't usually say goodbye often


No looking back, but hey you know, just a glimpse to remember the times
Even though I'm not looking back, I still want to remember the good times we had


I'm not too sentimental, just don't want to forget everything
I'm not overly emotional, but I don't want to forget anything


The distance was growing fast
The distance between us was increasing rapidly

The million image-shreds of your face
I have many different images of you in my mind


I should not care about you, but get me further away
I shouldn't care about you, but I need to distance myself


Can you tell me how I could resist
Do you have advice for how to not be affected by you?


To watch them saving you from the sea
To see others rescuing you from danger


They'll surely fail, they'll be too late, it's too late.
They will be unsuccessful in saving you, it's already too late
