Panic
Stolas Lyrics

The lyrics to Stolas's song "Panic" seems to be a personal and emotional reflection on feelings of loss, abandonment, and confusion. The opening lines juxtapose the idea of someone promising to stay but also holding back the rain. This creates a sense of contradiction and hints at the idea that things may not be what they seem. The next lines, "And the mountains cried in lines. It’s hard to know. You’ll never know. We’re lost in this world," seem to reinforce this sense of confusion and loss. The imagery of the mountains crying could represent a feeling of hopelessness or despair, while the line "It's hard to know. You'll never know" suggests an overwhelming sense of uncertainty and lack of control.

The chorus of the song repeats the question "Are you still there? To keep me alive! Or have they had their way with you?" This repetition creates a sense of desperation and longing for someone or something that may no longer be present. The following lines, "To the voices that let us go. We were lost. We were lost. Even if you never come back, your ghost, it’s still here. Let’s pull the strings!!!" seem to suggest that the singer is having a conversation or pleading with someone who has already left or passed away. The haunting imagery of a "ghost" reinforces this idea.

The bridge of the song, "I've been making mistakes. And hoping you wouldn't notice any of them!" suggests that the singer may have played a role in the situation and may be blaming themselves for the loss. The repetition of the line "I lost my breath between the cutting air. Somehow I lost my life between the lies," creates a sense of vulnerability and hints at the idea that the singer may have been betrayed or hurt by someone close to them.

Overall, "Panic" seems to be a deeply personal and emotional reflection on loss, grief, and uncertainty. The use of vivid imagery, repetition, and a haunting tone creates a sense of desperation and longing for something that may no longer be attainable.
