Unity
The Jackals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that you've created
Inside your head
It's all just imagination
Deceptive architecture
Illusions within the city streets
Everything you believed in is just fool's paradise
Fictional values
Wealth and power
You were never searching for the truth
And were wearing the mask of conceit
And after losing everything found standstill
Not knowing what reality was
We don't care about those
With who we discord
Our way was too long
To give another chance
And what unites us
Is present
And while we can hear
Our future can hear us
What unites us
Is present
And it can't be changed
Until you cannot change
Leave all that calls you back
You would never cognize yourself there
Don't try to mix two lives
The real one and that's made-up
You would feel strong blues
The reality would absorb your world
Your fictional world
Put the line between them
And stop living the illusions
To be blessed just now
Forget about everythin that pulls you back
We don't care about those
With who we discord
Our way was too long
To give another chance
And what unites us
Is present
And while we can hear
Our future can hear us
What unites us
Is present
And it can't be changed
Until you cannott change
Leave all that calls you back
You would never cognize yourself there
Don't touch anything made out of ash
In the song "Unity" by The Jackals, the lyrics convey a message about separating imagination from reality and being present in the moment. The first verse talks about how everything that is created inside one's head is just imagination, an architecture that is deceptive and full of illusions. The persona in the song criticizes those who believe in fictional values like wealth and power, as they were never searching for the truth and instead were wearing the mask of conceit. The second verse talks about not trying to mix the real world with that of the made-up world, as it would only lead to feeling strong blues, and the persona encourages listeners to put a line between them and stop living in illusions.
The chorus states that what unites us as human beings is the present moment, and the future can only hear us while we are present. The persona urges listeners to leave everything that pulls them back and never to touch anything made out of ash. Overall, the song portrays a message about being mindful, separating fiction from reality, and living in the present moment without letting illusions and past experiences hold you back.
Line by Line Meaning
All that you've created
Everything that you've come up with
Inside your head
In your mind
It's all just imagination
None of it is real
Deceptive architecture
Structures built on lies
Illusions within the city streets
False beliefs held by many
Everything you believed in is just fool's paradise
All your beliefs are misguided
and miserable shade of the past
And a sad reminder of what has already happened
Fictional values
Values that aren't grounded in reality
Wealth and power
The pursuit of money and control
You were never searching for the truth
You were never really looking for what's real
And were wearing the mask of conceit
And were pretending to be something you're not
And after losing everything found standstill
And after losing everything, you were stuck
Not knowing what reality was
You weren't sure what was real and what wasn't
We don't care about those
We don't pay attention to those people
With who we discord
Who we disagree with
Our way was too long
Our journey was difficult
To give another chance
To give another opportunity
And what unites us
What brings us together
Is present
Is what's happening right now
And while we can hear
And while we're able to listen
Our future can hear us
The future is impacted by what we do now
It can't be changed
It's not possible to alter
Until you cannot change
Until you're unable to change it
Leave all that calls you back
Let go of what's holding you down
You would never cognize yourself there
You wouldn't learn anything about yourself by holding onto those things
Don't try to mix two lives
Don't try to combine reality and fiction
The real one and that's made-up
What's actually happening and what you've imagined
You would feel strong blues
You'll become depressed
The reality would absorb your world
Reality would become all-encompassing
Your fictional world
The world you've imagined
Put the line between them
Draw a clear distinction between the two
And stop living the illusions
And stop believing in false things
To be blessed just now
To feel grateful for what you have in this moment
Forget about everything that pulls you back
Let go of things that are hindering your progress
