The Answer
The Queenstons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the eye of the storm a broken heart is healing
Till the storm picks up again ignore the feeling
Of being torn in two, of being ripped apart
Of being put aside and put back at the start

If what it is is what it isn't inside me
I don't wanna be a part of what you wanna see
If what it is is what it isn't inside me
I don't wanna be controlled by a fantasy





Overall Meaning

The image of a broken heart healing in the eye of the storm suggests that the singer is experiencing conflicting emotions - on one hand, there is a sense of hope and renewal, but on the other hand, there is an awareness that the storm will eventually pick up again, triggering painful feelings of being torn apart and starting over.


The second stanza takes a more defiant tone, as the singer asserts their desire to break free from external expectations and illusions. The repeated refrain of "If what it is is what it isn't inside me, I don't wanna be" emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and personal authenticity.


Overall, the lyrics of The Answer seem to be grappling with the complexities of relationships and self-identity, exploring themes of vulnerability, resilience, and autonomy.

In the eye of the storm a broken heart is healing
Amidst turmoil and chaos, a heart that was once shattered is slowly mending itself back together


Till the storm picks up again ignore the feeling
However, until the next moment of crisis arrives, it's best to ignore the emotional discomfort and focus on recovery


Of being torn in two, of being ripped apart
The pain of feeling pulled in different directions; the agony of being torn between conflicting emotions or desires


Of being put aside and put back at the start
The sensation of being dismissed or overlooked, and the frustration of having to start over from square one


If what it is is what it isn't inside me
If the true nature of things contradicts what I've convinced myself they are


I don't wanna be a part of what you wanna see
Then I do not wish to be complicit in perpetuating a false narrative that satisfies someone else's perspective


If what it is is what it isn't inside me

I don't wanna be controlled by a fantasy
Then I refuse to allow myself to be manipulated or controlled by an illusion or idealistic dream

Just came back to one of my favorite songs on the channel by random and wanted to say: thank you for uploading all this excellent music! Been listening to Emma's music for around 10 years now and that means your channel has been in my life for a while now.
Thank you, ziffer90!

i follow their music since 2013, i love the aliases used in the halley labs universe, at first i thought it was a big project by lots and lots of producers but then i got really surprised all these songs were made by the same person.
