Capitol
TR/ST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hold up, hold up, hold up
Afraid, a friend
Afraid, a friend
Set forth for the island
She went for the sky
Dropping the start
She didnt ask why
Youre flat on your back
Its going with the captive
When you spend like that
See me, see me
See me, see me
Come back, come back
Come back, come back
Set forth for the island
She went for the sky
Dropping the start
She didnt ask why
Youre out on the road, man
Youre flat on your back
Its going with the captive
When you spend like that
We need all the stairs now
Were staring at heights
Weve gotta crack that
You didnt ask why
Time after time I start to forget
As long as Im going
Its getting to get
Well, I got, well, I got
Well, I got, well, I got
The lyrics to TR/ST's song Capitol are open to interpretation. However, they seem to convey a sense of fear, confusion, and desperation. The line "No love" suggests a feeling of emptiness or lack of emotional connection. The repeated phrase "set forth for the island, she went for the sky, dropping this start" can be seen as a metaphor for chasing dreams, taking risks, and leaving behind what's familiar. The lines "You're out on the road, man, you're flat on your back, it's going with the captive when you spend like that" suggest a struggle or a sense of being trapped by one's own actions.
The chorus, which repeats "See me, see me, come back, come back," is an emotional plea for validation and connection. The final lines "Time after time I start to forget, as long as I'm going, it's getting to get, well, I got, well, I got" suggest that the singer is determined to keep moving forward despite challenges and setbacks.
Overall, Capitol by TR/ST seems to be about the struggle to find oneself, to take risks, and to connect with others. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, with the repeated request to be seen and heard.

No love
The absence of love
Hold up, hold up, hold up
Wait a minute, pause
Afraid, a friend
A friend who is scared
Set forth for the island
Embarked on a journey towards an island
She went for the sky
She aspired for greatness
Dropping the start
Abandoning the beginning
She didnt ask why
She did not question her decisions
Youre out on the road, man
You're on a journey
Youre flat on your back
You're struggling or defeated
Its going with the captive
Possessions go with the one who has power over them
When you spend like that
When you use up resources recklessly
See me, see me
Notice me
Come back, come back
Return
We need all the stairs now
We need all the necessary steps now
Were staring at heights
We are looking upwards and aiming high
Weve gotta crack that
We need to find a solution
Time after time I start to forget
Every so often, I begin to lose memory
As long as Im going
As long as I'm moving forward
Its getting to get
Things are becoming clearer
Well, I got, well, I got
I have, I have

No light, all night, all night, all night
Off white, of white
Off white, of white
Such fun for a pilot, she conquered the sky
The jump at the start, that she let it pass by
You're out on your own, now you're flat on your back
It's buoy with a capitol, unless we're like that
Say your name, say your name...
Say your name, say your name...
Come back, come back...
Come back, come back...
Such fun for a pilot, she conquered the sky
The jump and the start, that she let it pass by
You're out on your own, now you're flat on your back
It's buoy with a capitol, unless we're like that
We meet on the stairs now, we stare at heights;
The ground and groundless, she let it pass by
Time after time I start to forget
As long as I know it's as good as it gets
We're like that...
We're like that...

Wish I had friends who were really into this genre, I've always gone to concerts alone (not complaining, it's great going alone, but it'd be cooler to enjoy it with a friend)
@user-te7ti3wv8u
What genre is this?
@emoji-lover625
E if I’m right it’s like, dark-post punk and dark wave/ 80’s influenced synth wave?
