The Last Song "Owari"

Gemini
The Antarctica Project Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My brother whispers me that I'm stuck in here
I'm slave of time
He is the only who can see the chaos through the mirror
We romanticize the stories, which we all rationalize, but nobody witnessed them
The lives wilt and we forget
There are pieces that don't belong to this world
I saw those pieces fall
Oh, my mind is in between two worlds, vibrates in dissonance

Oh, my body is lying to my soul, I'm eternal
Put your hands on your eyes to stop time
But time is a God without mercy for you
Oh, my mind is in between two worlds, vibrates in dissonance
Oh, my body is lying to my soul, I'm eternal
We are inevitable
We are ephemeral
It can be felt in the inside
The sense of burden under the skin
The internal storm of thorns, no one cares, no one knows
No one knows, I know
Stay dreaming to survive, your placebo
The origin of thunder and the organic vice swing as one
When man drowns in his own hole
When humanity drowns in his hole

The end will break
Break

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Antarctica Project's song "Gemini" explore the theme of being trapped and enslaved by time, as well as the idea of living in two worlds simultaneously. The singer's brother whispers to them, indicating that they feel trapped and confined within their own existence. They describe themselves as a slave of time, implying that they are constantly bound by the constraints and pressures of time. The brother is the only one who can see the chaos, possibly suggesting that he has a deeper understanding of the truth behind the illusions of life.

The lyrics also touch upon the romanticization and rationalization of stories that we often do, despite nobody witnessing them firsthand. Lives wither away and are forgotten, and there are pieces that don't belong to this world, which the singer claims to have seen fall. This may be a metaphor for experiences or moments that are beyond the ordinary, yet are disregarded or forgotten.

The internal conflict is evident in the lines, "Oh, my mind is in between two worlds, vibrates in dissonance / Oh, my body is lying to my soul, I'm eternal." Here, the singer expresses a dichotomy between their mind and body, suggesting a sense of disconnect or contradiction. They feel eternal, perhaps in a spiritual or existential sense, despite the limitations of their physical body.

Overall, "Gemini" explores the themes of confinement, the passage of time, and the struggle to reconcile different aspects of one's identity.
