The Hics- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Erase the lines
To distance your soul from mine
Search for the divine
To find your soul
The soul that encaptured mine
The soul that encaptured mine
Blue for beauty
To the depths, to the room
Masking my intentions
With these false pretenses
Find love
Love lost
Found love
Too proud
Find love
Love lost
Found love
Too proud
Time to kill the lights
Erase the lines
To distance your soul from mine
Search for the divine
To find your soul,
The soul that encaptured mine
The soul that encaptured mine
The soul that encaptured mine
Dull controls your mind
Dull in your life
Deliver me your illusion
Find love
Love lost
Found love
Too proud
Find love
Love lost
Found love
Too proud
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you
But because I know
But because I know
What isn't real
My love for you

The song "Lines" by The Hics seems to be about the struggle to distance oneself from a past love. The song opens with the line "Time to kill the lights" which suggests that the singer wants to erase everything that reminds them of the past relationship. The line "Erase the lines to distance your soul from mine" reinforces this idea, as the singer wants to create a separation between their own soul and that of the previous lover. The following line, "search for the divine to find your soul," suggests that the singer is searching for something greater than their personal pain -- something that transcends the individual.
The repetition of the line "the soul that encaptured mine" throughout the song suggests that the previous lover had some kind of hold on the singer, perhaps in a spiritual or mystical way. The use of the color blue ("Blue for beauty") makes the listener think of water, which might mean that the singer is trying to drown out the memories of the past relationship. The line "dull controls your mind" suggests depression or a lack of energy that the singer is trying to overcome.
The second half of the song repeats a few lines about finding love, then losing it, and then finding it again. The repetition of "too proud" suggests that the singer has difficulty admitting their feelings to themselves or to other people. Overall, the song seems to be about the pain of separating from a past lover, and the difficulty of finding new love when the memories of the old relationship still linger.
