Exodus
Tetsu Nishiuchi and The Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's next to parlay
As we stride towards the deep
To a place where we can be free
Ooo look away
Find a place to escape
The pantheon is calling your name
Ooo steal away
Time cannot delay
The impact of loss and
Trauma's memory
Motionless I pause
Looking back on the cause
The great generation shift
That Beckons a dark rift
Ooo time must end
Things we comprehend
Never to be whole again
Ooo have no fear
For we're over the hill of tears
Leaving the ephemeral behind
Philosophers enquire
About events transpired
And the bitter toll
While the peasants seek penance
Bidding good riddance
To their former world
Artists use candor
To capture the
grandeur of history
And patrons
Soothe their matrons
With haunted melody
Ooo turn away
From the flames of yesterday
To the ashes of posterity
Ooo start today
Do not be led astray
The timeless sleep comes to us all
The lyrics to "Exodus" by Tetsu Nishiuchi and The Band speak to the resilience of humanity in the face of adversity and the pursuit of freedom. The opening lines, "We survived the plague, What's next to parlay, As we stride towards the deep, To a place where we can be free," suggest that despite the challenges faced, there is a determination to move forward and find a new, liberated existence.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Ooo look away, Find a place to escape, The pantheon is calling your name," which can be interpreted as a call to turn away from the past and find solace in a different reality. The pantheon represents a higher power or a mythical realm, inviting individuals to seek a new path for themselves.
The second verse explores the consequences of a generational shift and the passage of time. It reflects on the transience of life, the impact of loss and trauma, and the inability to fully comprehend or return to what was once whole. It encourages the listener not to fear the journey ahead as they leave behind the ephemeral, embracing change and moving forward.
The third verse delves into the role of different societal groups in processing historical events. Philosophers contemplate the toll of past events, while peasants seek penance and bid farewell to the old world. Artists strive to capture the grandeur of history, and patrons use haunting melodies to soothe their loved ones. The song concludes with the lines, "Ooo turn away, From the flames of yesterday, To the ashes of posterity, Ooo start today, Do not be led astray, The timeless sleep comes to us all," emphasizing the cyclical nature of history and the importance of embracing the present moment.
