Pantomime
Soviet Soviet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every drop is painful
Oh, my
How you suffocate
As a pantomime
You're illegally
Oh my
Every calling's a scream and don't step
You don't believe me and love
How you suffocate
My eyes reflect
The air
Flowing through your hair
How you suffocate
Look
Flowers are placed
The sun goes down and the mind seeks shelter
How to fix everything?
Oh
Every fall is weird
Every drop is painful
Oh, my
How you suffocate
Every calling's a scream and don't step
You don't believe me
And love
How you suffocate
Look, flowers are placed
The sun goes down and the mind seeks shelter
How to fix everything?
Oh
Look, flowers are placed
The sun goes down and the mind seeks shelter
How to fix everything?
Oh
The song "Pantomime" by Soviet Soviet muses on the theme of suffocation and loss of control. The lyrics use imagery of falling, drowning, and calling out in desperation to underscore the feeling of being overwhelmed. The repeated phrase "How you suffocate" serves as a haunting reminder of the weight of these emotions.
The line "As a pantomime, you're illegally" suggests that the singer feels trapped in a performance or charade, unable to express their true emotions freely. This may be a comment on societal pressures to conform or the expectation of putting on a brave face even in times of turmoil.
The line "My eyes reflect the air flowing through your hair" is a striking moment of beauty and contrast amidst the despair. It suggests that even in moments of uncertainty and fear, there can still be moments of grace and wonder.
Overall, "Pantomime" is a poignant reflection on the struggle to maintain control in the face of overwhelming emotions and the search for a way to find peace amidst chaos.
