Synestesia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kuitenkin epäilen, mihin jalkani kantaa.
Ei vihaa! Hiljaisuus tunteeni kantava.
Ei raivoa!
Pelkäätkö kun verho kasvoiltas väistyy
ja itketkö kun lasialttarisi nyt särkyy?
Ei vihaa! Ei tieni saa vihjeitä antaa.
Ei raivoa! Mikään ei mieltäni vainoa.
Ei pelkoa! En sillä työtänne helpota.
Ei armoa!
Pelkäätkö kun verho kasvoiltas väistyy
ja itketkö kun lasialttarisi nyt särkyy?
Huudatko armoa kasvos kun terällä
kiiltää vai oletko tyyni
kun rikki ihos se viiltää?
Ei vihaa! Kukaan ei sattumaa tunne.
Ei raivoa! Sen hallinta vaatii taitoa.
Ei pelkoa! Ei kukaan uhria kaipaa.
Ei armoa!
The lyrics to Synestesia's song Lasialttari evoke a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty. The first two lines encapsulate this feeling, as the singer admits to knowing their weaknesses but still doubts where their feet will take them. Despite this, the song's refrain emphasizes emotional control and the absence of negative feelings such as anger, rage, fear, and mercy. Instead, the singer emphasizes the importance of keeping calm and not letting negative emotions consume them.
The second verse brings in the imagery of a shattered glass altar and asks the listener whether they fear witnessing their own vulnerabilities and feelings laid bare. The questions posed in this verse invite introspection and create a powerful metaphor for the fragility of one's emotions. The song's final verse echoes the themes of emotional power and resilience, as the singer notes that no one requires a sacrifice and that maintaining emotional control is a skill that must be honed.
Overall, Lasialttari is a song that explores complicated emotions in a vulnerable and introspective way. The lyrics emphasize the importance of emotional control and encourage the listener to confront their own feelings of fear and vulnerability with strength and resilience.
