Déjà vu
Solitary Experiments Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like in a fairy tale this story never ends
Ride on a unicorn until the end of time
To make a love confession
Sometimes I dream although I'm awake
Waiting for the chance to correct
The past mistakes to spend my time with you
All those moments that we shared maybe some day I live this déjà vu
When you close your eyes I show you something special
Alike a miracle you've never seen before
And when you smile again in your lovely kind
My heart is full of passion
And when you smile again
In your lovely kind with sparkling eyes
My heart is full of passion
It's easy to smile with a heart full of joy
The more we suffer the more we strive
Sometimes I dream although I'm awake
Waiting for the chance to correct
The past mistakes to spend my time with you
Every effort it will take I still wish that all my dreams come true
All those moments that we shared maybe some day I live this déjà vu
The lyrics in Solitary Experiments's song "Déjà Vu" speak about the longing for a timeless love, taking us on a surreal journey that explores the idea of fate, second chances, and the possibility of living our dreams. The song's opening lines describe how every day the world keeps moving and how it feels like a never-ending story - like a fairy tale. The singer invites us to ride on a unicorn, a symbol of magic, imagination, and hope, and to make a love confession, expressing their desire to find the one who will make their heart skip a beat.
The next stanza brings a dreamlike quality to the narrative. The singer speaks of dreaming while being awake, waiting for the chance to correct past mistakes and spend their time with their soulmate. The words "All those moments that we shared" evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for a lost time. The singer wishes to experience the feeling of déjà vu, the idea that something has been experienced before, even though it may seem impossible.
The chorus of the song is a declaration of love and the way that being with their lover makes everything in the world seem right. It is a joyful expression of gratitude for the life and the love they share. The song ends on a positive note, urging listeners to smile with a heart full of joy even in times of suffering. It is a message of hope that no matter how difficult things may seem, one should never give up on their dreams.
