Stalagmites
Sunnata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s the tribe’s defection
When the message is to follow the lords
When the rebels drag on
It’s the trap’s defection
When the message is to follow the lords
Bury affection, wallow, get on the floor
Re-defection of the sky, am I
Start up, run up, pull up, gotta reborn
Re-defection of the sky, am I
Burry affection, wallow, get on the floor
Re-defection of the sky, am I
Stir up, it’s savage, gotta go for revolt
Now you get
Never spit on hope
Now I get
Ram in into my throat
Ohhhh rise !
In the middle of the night, put on
It’s the mirror of the light
In the middle of the night
The lyrics to Sunnata's song "Stalagmites" are quite metaphorical and open for interpretation. At face value, the song seems to be about rebellion and defection from a tribe or societal norm. The first verse speaks of walking with rebels during a tribe's defection, but also mentions the message to follow the lords. This could suggest a conflict between following a rebellion or staying loyal to authority figures.
The second verse also mentions rebels dragging on during a trap's defection, indicating a struggle against an oppressive force. The chorus then speaks of "re-defection of the sky," which could symbolize a breaking away from societal expectations and limitations. The repeated phrases of "bury affection, wallow, get on the floor" could suggest a rejection of emotional connections or vulnerability.
The last part of the song mentions rising in the middle of the night and putting on the mirror of light, which could symbolize seeking clarity or enlightenment. The final line of "ram into my throat" could suggest a need for courage or strength to speak out against oppression.
Overall, "Stalagmites" seems to be a powerful message about rebellion, breaking free from societal norms, and seeking enlightenment.
