Russian Dolls
The Hics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time, it goes, so, slow
Oooh, oooh Take, your, bow
Stay, down
When it comes to the peak of it...
Pull out
For all those who does just like. (Music)
Still waiting for an open ground
Flies tame your mind unfound
Helpless in what you know
Theres thought i've never shown
Signs sold your way to me
Your lies unfound beneath
Your cryin' is out of reach
This is this is oh relief
(Music)
For all those who does just like. Oooh, oooh
The Hics's song Russian Dolls speaks to the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape the cycle of life. The lyrics "Same, it goes, so, slow / Time, it goes, so, slow" reflect a sense of time passing by at a painfully slow pace, emphasizing the monotony of life. The repetition of "take your bow, stay down" could be seen as a commentary on the fact that we are born, we live our lives, and then we die, ultimately taking a bow and leaving the stage. The "peak of it" could refer to the realization that we are simply repeating the same patterns in our lives over and over again.
The following lines "Flies tame your mind unfound / Helpless in what you know / There's thought I've never shown / Signs sold your way to me" paint a picture of being trapped within oneself, unable to break free from the constraints of our own minds. The repetition of "your lies unfound beneath / Your crying is out of reach" could suggest a struggle with inner demons or past traumas that are difficult to confront. The song ultimately ends with the repeated phrase "For all those who does just like," which could be a call to action to break away from the conformities of society and the monotony of life.
