Doubt
Sons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a full throttle train, an existential bane
It's only grays and blues when nothing else matters
It takes a strong will to keep it caged and still
It's only grays and blues when nothing else matters

Seen it all coming down
In a dream soaked world nothing to fear
Seen it all coming down
Beats that pound and bars to clear

Souls for sale in the junkyard
Tales of strength and doubt and how to live without
Pages left blank around the music halls
Didn't find the meaning just answering the call

Seen it all coming down
In a dream soaked world nothing to fear
Seen it all coming down
Beats that pound and bars to clear





It's a full throttle train, an existential bane
It's only grays and blues when nothing else matters

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sons's song Doubt seem to be describing a feeling of being trapped or confined by a "full throttle train" that causes an "existential bane." The use of the colors gray and blue in the lyrics implies a sense of monotony and lack of excitement or passion. The song suggests that it takes a lot of strength and willpower to resist this feeling and maintain control over one's self. The chorus seems to be asserting a sense of empowerment and defiance, as the singer has "seen it all coming down" and is still able to overcome it.


The second verse delves deeper into the themes of the song, referencing "souls for sale in the junkyard" and "tales of strength and doubt and how to live without." These lines could be interpreted as commentary on societal pressures to conform and sacrifice one's true self in order to succeed, as well as the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The reference to "pages left blank around the music halls" could suggest a search for artistic expression and creativity in the face of this struggle.


Overall, the lyrics to Doubt seem to be a powerful commentary on the human condition and the struggle to remain true to oneself in the face of societal pressures and existential angst.
