Pulse
V.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Converge at the focus of
Some ancient starsong
Echoing within
And cross-fated worlds go
Diverge through the convex
Wait upon the starfall
To gather them again
Be kind
Heal the sunburnt eyes
Remind
Of where it all began
Sea sine
Lost in sunburst tide
Your secret's mine
Of where it all will end
Cross-faded words come
Flooding through the synapse
And straight to the marrow
This crescent moon cuts deep
And cross-fated worlds go
Vanish into shadow
Dust upon dustfall
Descends like devil snow
Be kind
Heal the sunburnt eyes
Remind
Of where it all began
Sea sine
Lost in sunburst tide
Your secret's mine
Of where it all will end
Let's pretend
Summer never ends
Let's pretend it's real
I can't defend
What you won't defend
I can't pretend I'm still
In the first verse of V.A.'s song "Pulse," the lyrics delve into a surreal and ethereal realm where words and worlds intertwine. The imagery of "cross-faded words" converging at the focal point of an "ancient starsong" evokes a sense of mystical connection and resonance. The idea of "echoing within" hints at a deeper, universal harmony that transcends time and space. Meanwhile, the mention of "cross-fated worlds" diverging through the convex alludes to a separation and fragmentation within the fabric of existence, waiting for a cosmic event like a "starfall" to reunite them. This could symbolize a longing for unity and reconciliation in a fractured reality.
The refrain of the song emphasizes themes of kindness, healing, and remembrance. The call to "be kind" and "heal the sunburnt eyes" suggests a plea for compassion and understanding, perhaps in the face of emotional or spiritual turmoil. The mention of "where it all began" alludes to a sense of origins and foundations, while the image of being "lost in the sunburst tide" conveys a feeling of being overwhelmed or consumed by powerful forces. The notion that "your secret's mine" hints at a shared intimacy or knowledge of deeper truths about beginnings and endings.
The second verse delves deeper into the interplay between these dual realms of words and worlds. The imagery of "cross-faded words" flooding through the synapse and reaching the "marrow" suggests a profound impact on the core of one's being. The reference to a "crescent moon" cutting deep implies a sense of emotional or psychological incision, piercing through layers of consciousness. As the "cross-fated worlds" vanish into shadow and dust, there's a sense of transience and impermanence, as ephemeral as "dustfall" or "devil snow" descending.
The closing lines of the song introduce a sense of longing and escapism, with an invitation to "pretend" that summer never ends and that a certain reality is real. The admission that "I can't defend what you won't defend" and the realization that pretending is no longer sustainable hint at a moment of reckoning or acceptance. The unresolved tension in declaring "I can't pretend I'm still" leaves the listener with a sense of unease or disillusionment, as the boundaries between imagination and reality blur. Overall, "Pulse" offers a poetic and introspective journey through themes of connection, separation, healing, and the complex dance between beginnings and endings.

Cross-faded words come
The merging of conflicting thoughts and emotions arrives
Converge at the focus of
Uniting at the center of the matter
Some ancient starsong
A timeless celestial melody
Echoing within
Reverberating deep within
And cross-fated worlds go
Diverging paths of destiny
Diverge through the convex
Separate through the outward curve
Wait upon the starfall
Anticipating the cosmic event
To gather them again
To reunite once more
Be kind
Show compassion
Heal the sunburnt eyes
Soothe the weary soul
Remind
Bring to memory
Of where it all began
Of the origins of existence
Sea sine
Oceanic vibrations
Lost in sunburst tide
Engulfed in a bright wave of energy
Your secret's mine
Your truth is safe with me
Of where it all will end
Of the inevitable conclusion
Flooding through the synapse
Streaming through the mind's connections
And straight to the marrow
Penetrating deep into the core
This crescent moon cuts deep
The waning moon leaves a profound impact
Vanish into shadow
Disappear into obscurity
Dust upon dustfall
Particles settling in layers
Descends like devil snow
Falling in a malevolent manner
Let's pretend
Imagine temporarily
Summer never ends
Eternal warmth and joy
Let's pretend it's real
Let's believe in the illusion
I can't defend
Unable to justify
What you won't defend
That which you refuse to protect
I can't pretend I'm still
Cannot continue to feign being unchanged
