Clear
The Nadas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone left the world
Take what you can carry
Find a road and follow
Of course I'm supposed to work I
come from the hills I
can find any food I
Of course I like to laugh I
look at the sky,
look in your eye
All I feel is transition
When do we get home?
All I fell is transition
Now to be alone
With a clear eye, with a clouded mind
You're gonna miss the word
I come from the fen I
I left the den
The wind blows no good it
Tells of a change that
Might rearrange
You can't see the ground its
Not where it was
All I feel is transition
When do we get home?
All I feel is transition
Now to be alone
With a clear eye, with a clouded mind
The stars are indifferent to astronomy
And all that we think we know
Mars will salute your autonomy
But he doesn't need to know
All I feel is transition
When do we get home?
All I feel is transition
Now to be alone
With a clear eye, with a clouded mind
No one wants to live this fiction
Where didn't we go wrong?
With a clear eye, with a clouded mind
The stars are indifferent to astronomy
And all that we think we know
Mars will salute your autonomy
But he doesn't need to know
The stars are indifferent to astronomy
And all that we think we know
Mars will salute your autonomy
But he doesn't need to know
The lyrics of The Nadas's song "Clear" seem to delve into themes of change, self-discovery, and the uncertain nature of life. The repetition of the phrase "You're gonna miss the word" suggests a regret for something left behind or overlooked. It could symbolize missed opportunities or a loss of communication and understanding.
The lines "Everyone left the world" and "Take what you can carry" imply a sense of abandonment and the need to adapt and move forward. It could be a reflection on how people come and go in our lives, and we must make the most of what we have.
The mention of hills and finding food could signify the struggle for survival and protecting oneself. This might suggest the need to be self-reliant and resilient in the face of challenges.
The chorus, "All I feel is transition, when do we get home? All I feel is transition, now to be alone, with a clear eye, with a clouded mind," expresses a longing for stability and a sense of belonging. It reflects the confusion and uncertainty that comes with change and searching for one's place in the world.
The references to the wind blowing and the ground not being where it was convey a sense of constant flux and unpredictability. It highlights the transient nature of life and the need to adapt to ever-changing circumstances.
The repetition of the line "The stars are indifferent to astronomy, and all that we think we know" suggests a questioning of our perceived knowledge and significance. It implies that the universe carries on unaffected by our understanding or lack thereof.
The song ultimately reflects on the human desire for stability and understanding amidst a changing world, while also acknowledging the indifference of the larger universe. It invites contemplation on the uncertainties and complexities of life's journey.
