VII
T/S Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who will it be today...
Secrets of this place,
Never knowing...
Follow the ones that consume,
Becoming just like them.
Fade away among the crowds, again.
And I can read the stains inside your mind,
Remains of the beauty.
And I can hope for the silence of your words,
'Cause I know I'll be caught here...
And I could never really find the answers,
Always locked inside of something so close.
And I could never really find the reasons,
Just assumed it was you.
Pushed in a corner where screams die,
Fighting to stay alive.
Cower down to be alone.
Nothing is worth this.
When is the right time to let it all go?
Not that it matters...but I fear,
I fear that someday
It'll find its way to you.
I could never really find the answers,
Always locked inside of something so close.
I could never really find the reasons,
Just assumed it was you.
I could never really find the answers,
Always locked inside of something so close.
I could never really find the reasons,
Just assumed it was you.
The lyrics of T/S’s song VII suggest a feeling of confusion and disorientation, as the singer walks the “gauntlet of lies” and faces the uncertainty of not knowing who will deceive them next. The underlying theme seems to be one of identity, as the singer struggles to differentiate themselves from those around them, questioning whether they are following the right path or becoming like the people they surround themselves with. They feel trapped, unable to find the “answers” or “reasons” for their predicament.
The imagery of “stains inside your mind” and “remains of the beauty” suggest a sense of darkness and hopelessness, while the repetition of “I could never really find the answers” reinforces the singer’s internal conflict. The line “Pushed in a corner where screams die” paints a disturbing picture of being trapped and silenced, and the final stanza suggests a deep-seated fear of an inevitable reckoning.
Overall, VII is a haunting portrayal of inner turmoil, conveying the anxieties of modern life and the struggle to maintain one's sense of self in the face of external pressures.
