What's This
U-KISS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make sure that my dreams, stay in their place
A nightmare took freedom and a goal to kill pain
So being alone makes me wonder
If I’ll stay sane
Time is just a resource I can spend any day
Nothing is left to harvest when seasons drop dead
This is what it all got to
Voice messages
Cause I didn’t feel alone
Now I reap what I sow
Is this what it all got to?
Går ut, ett litet tag
Hoppas vädret är bättre idag
Ser tre små barn
Inte normalt att va
Quarantined on the sidewalk
Hör vad dom säger, men förstår inte ett ord
Brustna hjärtan öppnas, och man ser var dom slog
Ådrarna lyser, så såren ska läka fort
Is this what it all got to?
This is what it all got to
This is what it all got to
This is what it all got to
Förlåtelse
The lyrics of U-KISS's song "What's This" delve into themes of self-reflection, inner turmoil, and emotional struggles. The opening lines, "I sleep with a light on these days, to make sure that my dreams stay in their place," suggest a sense of vulnerability and fear, with the singer using light as a symbol of protection and comfort. They express a fear of nightmares and losing control over their thoughts and emotions.
The mention of a nightmare taking away freedom and a goal to kill pain hints at past experiences or traumas that have deeply affected the singer. This pain and fear manifest in feelings of isolation and questioning their own sanity when alone. The concept of time being portrayed as a resource that can be spent reinforces a sense of disillusionment and emptiness, as if the singer sees no value or purpose in the passage of time.
The lyrics continue to explore themes of longing and regret, as the singer reflects on past relationships or connections that have been severed. The decision to stop sending voice messages to someone because it made them feel less alone demonstrates a sense of emotional dependency and the consequences of cutting off that source of comfort. The lyrics suggest a sense of karma or retribution, as the singer now has to live with the consequences of their actions.
The final lines, "Förlåtelse" (which means forgiveness in Swedish), serve as a powerful conclusion to the song, hinting at a desire for redemption and healing. Throughout the lyrics, there is a palpable sense of emotional turmoil and self-examination, with the singer grappling with past mistakes, inner demons, and the search for forgiveness and understanding. The overall tone of the song conveys a mix of melancholy, introspection, and a yearning for closure and peace.
