Matter
Up Front Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Up Front's song Matter seem to revolve around the concept of being just mere human beings. The song talks about how we are all just animal bodies, living our lives hoping to connect with one another and find some sort of meaning in our existence. The song points out that as humans, we are always searching for ways to understand ourselves and others, but the only thing that remains is what others say about us. The song also hints at the idea of imperfection, indicating that as humans we are always gaining and losing things that make us who we are.
The song explores the complexities of human relationships, both romantic and non-romantic. The song highlights the fact that as human beings, we can form a connection with someone and yet be afraid of losing them. It's about the eternal struggle of finding meaning and purpose in a world where everything is going downhill.
Furthermore, the song also touches upon the idea of being lost in the world, feeling incomplete, and searching for love. The lyrics "if this is real, I must be make-believe, another partial perfect within your incomplete view, my life is all that's left for me" seem to suggest that the singer feels like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit, trying to find meaning in a life that seems meaningless. The song ends with the idea that even in our darkest moments, there is always something that can give us hope.
