Suspended Animation Dreams
Subterranean Masquerade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello, what am I doing here?
I don't belong in this place
Locked in a box

And when the show comes to an end
With a bravo Tik Tak you disconnect
In mute mode, on display
A souvenir from the last battle
Hope vs. Repair





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Suspended Animation Dreams" by Subterranean Masquerade contain deep and thought-provoking imagery about life and existence.

He compares his situation to being locked in a box, which can be interpreted as feeling trapped and unable to escape.


The second half of the song talks about how the world has become a theater where everyone puts on a show, and when it ends, we disconnect and become souvenirs of our previous battles - hope against repair. The line "Hope vs. Repair" can be interpreted as a struggle between optimism and pessimism. The singer suggests that people put on a show to hide the truth from others, creating a facade of character that isn't the real version of themselves.


The overall theme of the song revolves around the idea of feeling trapped in one's life and the struggles that come with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotions felt by someone who feels stuck in their circumstances.
