Elysium
Tay Iwar feat. Suté Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Paradise, Elysium
Ely, Ely, Elysium
Paradise

The pit in my soul, gets deeper with every passing second
The tears all fall, simultaneously
Increasing the depths of my pain
Inertia, observations of my territory to see me sad
Crystal blue persuasion, they feed on my desolation oh

Paradise, Elysium
Ely, Ely, Elysium
Paradise

Just another lost soul drifting through the city
Trynna find a lost soul maybe they could see me
Punching in the wrong code
I had nights where I try to put up fights but I lost so
Paradise also I'm still searching
Maybe we could find ourselves through a real person
It's crazy ain't got to explain it
You know the game we all got to play
Some win some lose because they're out there complaining
There's a point where the blaming becomes a problem
I seen it tell them slow down slow, but don't really mean it
My life is so scenic, better with time, I'm the finest red wine
I'm the realest man you got to let me in whats up
Wasn't it i who, wasn't a sly dude
Told you straight up what the guy do
I never lied I was trying to guide you
Did it how I knew, see

Paradise, Elysium
Ely, Ely, Elysium
Paradise, Elysium
Ely, Ely, Elysium

Face down, low sound, people passing by Je ne m'inquiète pas
For so long I've cried these tears
Filling up the pool of my hardship
Working for the man no glance or bread tossed my
It's easy to say, waiting for the light
Because beyond that is my elysium





Ohh, woo

Overall Meaning

The song "Elysium" by Tay Iwar feat. Suté explores the theme of searching for paradise, also known as Elysium, as a means of escaping pain and hardships. The lyrics are poignant and express the idea of a deep pit within the soul that grows deeper with every passing second. The tears that fall simultaneously add to the depth of pain and the observation of the territory by others to see the singer sad. The crystal blue persuasion, or the lure of ephemeral happiness, feeds on the singer's desolation, making the search for paradise somewhat contradictory.


The song also delves into the idea of being a lost soul in the city trying to find someone to see and accept them. The singer had nights where they tried to put up a fight but lost, making them feel even more lost and helpless, hence the search for paradise. The idea of blaming and complaining, which is prevalent in the game of life, can become problematic, and it's important to slow down, take a breath and realize that beyond the light is the elysium or the paradise we long for.


Overall, the song explores the struggles of life, the lure of paradise, and the search for acceptance and peace.
