Six Billion Voices
Vacuum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never stole a kiss from someone
And I've never seen the greenlandic sun
And I never took a walk on that wall
Can I have it all

And I never had a lunch in Phnom Penh
So can you breathe again
If six billion voices would call out your name
Could you come Down from heaven
There's six billion choices and so many roads
When you're there
Up in heaven
I've six billion things to say
To you

I never took a dive with no sharks
Seen a fire-fly that glows in the dark
I couldn't tell you what it feels like at all
But I'd break your fall

And I never kissed a girl in Phnom Penh
So can you breathe again

If six billion voices would call out your name
Could you come Down from heaven
There's six billion choices and so many roads
When you're there
Up in heaven




I've six billion things to say
To you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vacuum's "Six Billion Voices" speak to the universal desire to experience everything that life has to offer, and the frustration that comes with the knowledge that it is impossible to do so. The first stanza lists a number of experiences that the singer has never had, but would like to. The second stanza follows the same format but switches the focus to the singer's desire to share experiences with someone else. The chorus introduces the idea of six billion voices calling out to someone in heaven, perhaps suggesting that the afterlife is the only place where we will ever have the capacity to experience everything.


The song seems to be commenting on the limits of human experience and the impossibility of truly knowing everything there is to know about the world. The ideas presented in the lyrics are vague enough to be interpreted in a number of ways, and the overall tone of the song is one of wistful longing. It is clear that the singer is not necessarily asking for all of the experiences listed in the lyrics; rather, they are using these hypothetical experiences as a way of expressing their desire to fully engage with the world around them.

Слова припева:
Если бы 6 миллиардов голосов призывали твое имя, мог бы ты сойти с небес?
Здесь 6 миллиардов выборов и так много путей, когда ты там, высоко на небе.
