Obstacles
Syd Matters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But as far as I can remember
We've been migratory animals
Living under changing weather
Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
Today we will sell our uniform
Live together
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger
We played hide and seek in waterfalls
We were younger
We were younger
Someday we will foresee obstacles
Through the blizzard, through the blizzard
The first verse of "Obstacles" by Syd Matters speaks of the universal desire for happiness and a better future. The phrase "Let's say sunshine for everyone" refers to the idea that everyone deserves to be happy and have a bright future. However, the second sentence of this verse, "But as far as I can remember, we've been migratory animals living under changing weather," suggests that life is not always easy and might come with obstacles that can change our paths. The lyrics metaphorically compare human behavior to migratory animals that move and adapt to their environments.
The second verse suggests that people will face difficulties and obstacles in their lives. The phrase "Someday we will foresee obstacles, through the blizzard, through the blizzard" means that everyone is likely to face difficult situations in the future, and they must be prepared to overcome them. The song also speaks to the importance of community and unity, as can be seen in the lines "Today we will sell our uniform, live together, live together." By unifying and coming together as a community, people can better tackle any obstacles they face.
The chorus of the song repeats the refrain "We played hide and seek in waterfalls, we were younger." This line represents the innocent and carefree memories of youth, where the future did not seem as daunting or uncertain. Overall, the lyrics of "Obstacles" encourage hope, courage, and the strength to overcome life's obstacles and hardships.

Why i must cry everytime i hear this masterpiece? I've been literally crying at work yesterday while i forgot to skip this in my playlist. That song is so beutiful and sad at the same time.
_spoiler down there, if you didn't finished Life is Strange Episode 5 (which is unacceptable and you should go to play that game RIGHT NOW!), do not open this comment for your own sake homie_
*Sacrifice Arcadia Bay*
I feel actually bad for some characters when i let them die cause of that fucking tornado, like Joyce or David or Kate, Brooke, Warren, Miss Grant, Samuel and much more. But Chloe is Chloe, i will never sacrifice Chloe.
