Medusa
Stolas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To provoke a sense of hate within.
I will move the Earth,
And shift its weight on top of you.
There's no way we'll leave this place,
Knowing why we're here.
There's nothing left to learn.
What a waste of breath.
An empty hollow shell.
A heavy bag of bones.
Time never heals.
I will take control.
There's no way we'll leave.
There's no way we'll leave this place.
I travel and how I scavenge
There's a morning to fill my throat with,
Yet no lungs scratch the nerves
And the need to never leave.
Fall back to the ocean
Of only salt and hungry mouths.
The empty days collect
Everyone you meet.
I will find a way back.
The lyrics in Stolas's song Medusa explore themes of hate, control, and the search for meaning in a seemingly futile existence. The opening lines, "I will find a way, to provoke a sense of hate within," suggest a desire for power and influence over others, even if that comes at the cost of spreading negativity. The subsequent line, "I will move the Earth, and shift its weight on top of you," demonstrates a willingness to go to great lengths to achieve this control, using all the resources available to them.
The following lines, "There's no way we'll leave this place, knowing why we're here," and "There's nothing left to learn, there's nothing left to fear," suggest a sense of disillusionment with life and lack of direction. The repeated line, "What a waste of breath...Time never heals," further emphasizes the feelings of hopelessness and despair. Despite this, the singer asserts their determination to take control - "I will take control. There's no way we'll leave. There's no way we'll leave this place."
The latter half of the song is more abstract, using imagery such as "Fall back to the ocean of only salt and hungry mouths" to create a sense of unease and discomfort. However, the final line - "I will find a way back" - suggests a glimmer of hope, a determination to keep searching for meaning and purpose.
