The Panic Channel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

wait
the rain will come and soon enough
to wash away all that we've loved
here it comes
listen

stop
the dialogs and the debates
good things will come along just wait
in time
listen

and you feel like crying
you want to scream out
but the tears won't fall
the words won't come
so just listen

don't lose your head yet stick around
beyond a shadow of a doubt
you're allowed
forgiven

because
system coats you like a shell
what you need nobody sells
hell is your
decision

and you feel like crying
you want to scream out
but the tears won't fall
the words won't come
so my friends your time is now
open up what you've closed down
and it hurts so bad to speak
oh

so just listen
so just listen
hurts so bad
so just listen




hurts so bad, to speak
(repeat)

Overall Meaning

The Panic Channel's song "Listen" is a poignant message about the importance of listening to yourself and others. The lyrics urge listeners to wait for the arrival of a cleansing rain that will wash away everything that we have loved. The idea here is that while it may be painful to let go of what we hold dear, it is necessary in order to make room for new things to come into our lives. The song encourages us to stop the constant internal dialogue and debates that often hold us back from moving forward and to just wait for good things to come. In essence, the song is a call to trust in the universe and have faith that everything will work out in the end.


The second verse of the song speaks to the idea that our internal dialogues, personal biases, and societal expectations often hold us back from realizing our full potential. The lyrics reference the idea that "system coats you like a shell" and that we need to break free from these constraints to find true happiness and fulfillment. The song concludes with the idea that sometimes it's difficult to open up and share our feelings, but it is important that we do it anyway because it is the only way to truly connect with other people.


Overall, "Listen" is a powerful reminder to slow down, listen to our own intuition, and to be present in the moment. It is a passionate plea to take a step back and let go of the things that are holding us back so that we can make room for new growth and opportunity.
