Anthem
Tilian Lyrics

Poison, poison
There is something dangerous about what the singer is pursuing, but they are still drawn to it.

Wisdom in the poison
The thing that is luring the singer may hold knowledge or insight that they desire, despite its risk.

Take my innocence
The singer recognizes that they will lose their naivete in pursuing this thing, but are willing to do so.

Glory from my lips (Oh)
The artist hopes to achieve something great from what they are seeking, and they passionately express that drive.

Change my dirty lens
The artist wants to change their perspective on things and gain a better understanding of the world around them.

Make this permanent
The singer wants to fully commit to this path and fearlessly embrace whatever may come with it.

I need a vision that'll move the limit
The singer desires a new, powerful vision that will drive them outside of their current boundaries and constraints.

Another pinnacle to un-inhibit
The artist wants to reach a new high point in their life and feel completely free and unencumbered by limitations.

I need to feel the follicles in my veins go insane
The artist wants to experience something so intense that it will make them feel alive and give them a rush of new energy.

A metaphysical event (Oh)
The artist wants to experience something that transcends the physical world and has a deep spiritual or emotional meaning to them.

Been making hours out of every minute (Oh)
The singer has been working hard to make the most of every moment in their life and not waste any time.

A little deeper and I feel infinite (Oh)
The artist feels that if they can push themselves a little bit further, they will be able to achieve infinite greatness and potential.

Becoming clear that my mind and my soul And my body are autonomously independent
The singer is coming to the realization that their mind, soul, and body are all separate entities that each need attention and care, and that they can work together independently to achieve great things.

Living in the minute never chasing up a phantom
The singer is committed to living in the present moment and not chasing after something that is elusive or unattainable.

If you're living in the minute here's your motherfucking anthem (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
The singer is trying to inspire others to also live in the present moment and make the most of their lives, and the chorus serves as an anthem for that purpose.

I know you dared me to come back But I was getting over jet lag Holding on to the hope you would be there Waiting patiently for me Patiently for me, patiently for me Patiently for me, patiently for me Can we live in a world where complications melt away with
This section is a bit more ambiguous, but it seems to be about the artist's personal relationships and hoping for a world where things are simpler and easier. The repetition of 'patiently for me' suggests that the artist is waiting for someone to come around to their way of thinking, but that the complications of the world are making that difficult.
