Certainty
Temples Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got, I've got, the picture and the details
Outside, under within the sights
We stand, we land the form of parallelogram
On the sun to the Netherlands
We appear and go on

Tonight, the bridge is growing to the other side
Onto, off and beneath the sun
You land lone there disposed to nether Netherlands
In a boat to the Netherlands
We appear and recall

The way is a way, think slowly
The sun is standing lighted

I want to know that certainty's in my life
I want to know that certainty's in the light
I want to know that certainty's in my life
Isn't lonely and more defined

You've got, you've got the mission and the pieces
In hand off beneath you stand
We turn we make the sceens to nether Netherlands
On the sun to the Netherlands
We appear to rule

The way is a way, think slowly
The sky turning, sending light in

I want to know that certainty's in my life
I want to know that certainty's in the light




I want to know that certainty's in my life
Isn't lonely and more defined

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Temples' song "Certainty" seem to be a meditation on finding a sense of purpose and clarity amidst the chaos and uncertainty of life. The repeated phrase "I want to know that certainty's in my life" conveys a deep desire for stability and direction, while the lines "the way is a way, think slowly" suggest that this certainty may be found through thoughtful contemplation and self-reflection.


The lyrics also make use of surreal and dreamlike imagery, such as the references to "parallelograms" and traveling "on the sun to the Netherlands." This further emphasizes the idea that the search for certainty can be a strange and disorienting journey.


Overall, the song seems to be an expression of both frustration and hope, as the singer strives to find a sense of confidence and purpose in a world that can often feel overwhelming and unpredictable.

I've got
I've got the picture and the detail
Outside
Under within the sights
We stand
We land upon the parallelogram
On the sand of another land
We appear and call

Tonight
The bridge is growing to the other side
On cue
Over beneath the sun
You land
On pebbles close to never neverland
In the palms of another land
Reappear and recall

The waves are waving slowly
The sand is standing lightly
Ahhhhhhhhhhh

I wanna know that certainty is in my life
I wanna know that certainty is through the night
I wanna know that certainty is in my life
It's a lonely island world we find

You've got
You've got the mixture and the thesis
In hand
Under beneath your stare
We tend
We mend the scenes of ever everland
On the sand of another land
We appear tall

The waves are waving slowly
The skiving sky is standing lightly
Now

I wanna know that certainty is in my life
I wanna know that certainty is through the night
I wanna know that certainty is in my life
It's a lonely island world we find

This band is super underrated. I'm glad they're helping to keep psychedelic rock alive

FUNART media

why they always call bands/singers with a fanbase/sold out gigs and over a million views underrated .. haha go discover something really unknown ...thousands out there..

celivany figueiredo

I Love music

Celestial Draconis

@FUNART media A million views is not even a fraction of most country's populations. Take in the account that a portion of those views are returning listeners. So yes, they are underrated. Why people always think a million views is a lot is amusing.

FUNART media

@Celestial Draconis listen i released and performed for years in the 80s/90s, very anti-fame ..with succes(haha) still happy (and rich) with thousands of people instead of millions, and loved the real scenes and hated the commercial bs offers, a real musician is lika a painter, CREATE! not egotrip like grandmamadonna who spends her money on putting her face onna poster every corner for years without our permission. thats ott from someone with absolutely no singing/songwriting talent! with that kind of PR anyone is a star, and there they are, all losers are winners these days in the fake world, just see the Temples as 1 of the greatest bands in the world if u do (i do)..thats all

Simeon Yetarian

Better stay underrated than being the mainstream and overplayed artist, dark horse isn’t a bad thing

Temples are just outstanding. Such a clean and inventive sound. Always shocked they don't get more buzz.

Justino

They did when their debut came out but they kinda disappeared for a while. They broke out around the same time as UMO and got more buzz than them at the time. People have really short attention spans nowadays. If you're not dropping an album every 2 years you'll be forgotten.
