A Question Isn't Answered
Temples Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A question isn't answered
If an answer isn't questioned
An answer has a meaning
When new meaning has a truth
Past life brings a future
Conscience of the kingdom
Left the king to reappear
Truth is but a burden
Laying burden by the few
Left unto the story
Tells a story unto you
City of the scripture
Single words on city walls
[?] of freedom
Dropping sequence of our falls
A question isn't answered
If an answer isn't questioned
An answer has a meaning
When new meaning has a truth
Past life brings a future
When the future disappears
Ah, ah, ah, ah
The lyrics of Temples' song "A Question Isn't Answered" are open to interpretation but appear to touch on various philosophical themes such as the value of questioning, the nature of truth, the connection between past and future, and the power of storytelling. The opening lines suggest that an answer only holds meaning when it is challenged by a question. The next few lines are more abstract and suggest that our past experiences shape our future, even if we do not always understand how or why. The lyrics then shift to speak of a "conscience of the kingdom" that has somehow been separated from its king, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for people losing their connection to their principles or beliefs. The chorus repeats the opening lines and adds a new element about new meanings arising from truths--suggesting that there may be different layers or interpretations to the same answer.
The second verse does not directly continue the ideas from the first but instead introduces new metaphors such as a "city of the scripture" and "sequences of our falls" that continue to explore the theme of storytelling and myth-making. The final repetition of the chorus reminds listeners that questions are necessary to deepen our understanding and that answers are only meaningful when they are products of that questioning process. Overall, the lyrics of "A Question Isn't Answered" may be seen as an invitation to think critically and to engage with the complexity and mystery of existence.

The question isn't answered if an answer isn't questioned
An answer has a meaning when new meaning has a truth
Past life brings a future when the future disappears
Conscience of a kingdom left the king to reappear
The truth is but a burden, laying burden by a few
Left unto the story, does the story unto you
City of the scriptures, sing the words on city walls
I love that's a freedom, drop in sequence of our fall
The question isn't answered if an answer isn't questioned
An answer has a meaning when new meaning has a truth
Past life brings a future when the future disappears
Conscious of the kingdom lead a king to reappear

Ah ah ah ah...
No se responde a una pregunta
Si una respuesta no es cuestionada
Una respuesta tiene un significado
Cuando el nuevo significado tiene una verdad
La vida pasada trae un futuro
Cuando el futuro desaparece
Conciencia del reino
Dejó reaparecer el rey
La verdad no es sino una carga
Poniendo la carga por los pocos
Dejado a la historia
Te cuenta una historia
Ciudad de la Escritura
Palabras solitarias en las murallas de la ciudad
Corre allí, eso es una libertad
Secuencia de caída de nuestras caídas
No se responde a una pregunta
Si una respuesta no es cuestionada
Una respuesta tiene un significado
Cuando el nuevo significado tiene una verdad
La vida pasada trae un futuro
Cuando el futuro desaparezca
Ah ah ah ah..
@GiI11
People who accused Temples of merely copying early psych failed to see that Temples transcended mere imitation. The first album could rightly fall into the classics of the late 60's without sounding like any of them.
@cbennett196631
Who of any significance is doing the accusing? Just casual music listeners?? If I heard or read any of that, I’d take it as a compliment, not a complaint. As for those who insist that present day music stinks just tells me that most people are just too lazy to seek out new Artists. Their loss, not mine...
