No Matter What
The Galaxy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hang around
Like a city full of setting suns
And here's to your health
Then drown yourselves
To render the disappointment stunned
And the city sleeps
While others creep
Unlike every face
Caught in the race
I am not ashamed
'Cause in the back of my mind
Is a feeling so glad
There is a stillness
Untouched by human hands
And a voice that sighs
Oh, you won't get out
Of this world alive
No matter how hard you try
Try, try
(No matter how hard you try
No matter how hard you try)
Can't sleep
Oh I can't sleep
So I send a message down the wires
As the hurt spins and the air begins
My thoughts will secretly conspire
To find the way to change my days
To find the bit of higher ground
Unlike every day
That falls away
I will face the sun
'Cause in the back of my mind
Is a feeling so glad
There is a stillness
Untouched by human hands
And a voice that sighs
Oh, you won't get out
Of this world alive
No matter how hard you try
Try, try
(No matter how hard you try
No matter how hard you try
No matter how hard you try)
No, you won't get out of this world alive
(No matter how hard you try)
No, you won't get out of this world alive
(No matter how hard you try)
No, you won't get out of this world alive
(No matter how hard you try)
No, you won't get out of this world alive
The lyrics to The Galaxy's song "No Matter What" suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of the human condition. The song begins by describing someone who hangs around like a city full of setting suns, implying a sense of melancholy or fading beauty. The reference to drowning oneself highlights a metaphorical drowning in disappointment, suggesting that despite our efforts, life can still be filled with letdowns. The city sleeping while others creep symbolizes the individuals who are trying to forget their mistakes and move on.
However, the singer declares that they are not ashamed and have a feeling of gladness deep within their mind. This feeling represents a sense of hope or peace that is untouched by human hands, suggesting a transcendence of the difficulties and disappointments of life. The line "I will face the sun" signifies a determination to confront challenges with courage and optimism.
The chorus repeats the phrase "No matter how hard you try," emphasizing the inevitability of our mortality. It serves as a reminder that no matter how much effort we put into trying to escape the limitations of our existence, we are ultimately bound to this world and its ultimate end.
Overall, "No Matter What" explores themes of acceptance, resilience, and finding inner peace amidst the struggles of life.
