All the Same
Tryad Lyrics

The lyrics of Tryad's song "All the Same" delve into the theme of ambiguity and uncertainty in relationships. The lyrics play with the ideas of separation, liberation and dreams, meshing together to create a sense of confusion and disorientation. The verses open up with the lines "Dream in a dream, Sunlight in the darkness," seemingly setting up the narrative to be situated in a mystical, surreal realm. The next two lines "Sound in the silence, Whisper in a crowd" contradict the previous lines, emphasizing the idea of duality and contradiction at the core of the song.

As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the song is situated in a tumultuous relationship where the singer is unsure about the state and nature of their relationship. The word "Already" is repeated twice in each of the verses, which could imply that the relationship is already beyond repair, or that the singer is resigned to the fact that things are not going to change. The repetition of "Already Separated" and "Already Liberated" emphasize the idea of boundaries and borders, which could be social constructs, convention-bound expectations or emotional distance, that separate the two parties.

The chorus sums up the central idea of the song with the lines "It's all a dream, it's all a scene/ I wonder will I wait, I think and disappear/ I kiss your lips, your still here". The chorus here suggests that reality and dreams are intertwined, and that the singer, even though they are unsure about their relationship, still finds a sense of comfort and security being with the other person. The song thus presents a conflicted, ambiguous narrative that showcases the complexities of human relationships.
