Equinox
Sonny Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whose will is out of spite
We pile into separate agendas
With the songs of defeat
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world
Binded to your perfect lands
To live like somber cattle
And we're gathered as seeds
To sprout mid Sahara
For who for what?
For who for what?
(For who for what)
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world
For you I give and give away
My unhappiness in color
For your abandoned heart to see them
To bloom into your world.
The lyrics of Sonny Moore's song Equinox paint a somber picture of the struggles we face in our lives. The opening lines describe the year as old and dying, likening it to a father with a spiteful will. There is a feeling of chaos and disunity, as each individual has their own agenda and is burdened by the songs of defeat in their mind. The lyrics then shift to address a specific person, to whom the singer is giving their unhappiness in color. There is a sense of sacrifice as the singer offers up their own discomfort for the benefit of this person's abandoned heart, hoping that their pain might somehow bloom into a better world.
The imagery in Equinox is bleak, but it also hints at hope amidst the struggle. The image of seeds sprouting mid Sahara suggests that even in the harshest conditions, growth and change can still occur. The repetition of the question "For who for what?" hints at a sense of existential questioning, asking what the purpose of all this struggle might be. Ultimately, the song seems to be about the difficulty of living in a world where pain and struggle are ever-present, and the hope that we can still find some small way to make a difference.

He can't anymore his voice changed from all of his screaming in the 'From First to Last' band.
@senseiisbackup8101
Sonny left FFTL to do his solo career. so this was after his screaming days. Unless he made songs during his FFTL days. Gotta go full detective to figure it out.
