Feign
Vaya_ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you could feel the way the burden felt, youd probably stay away. If you could feel the way the panic spreads, youd probably run away.
And someone hasnt been so honest and someone couldnt wait. But sometimes we just cant ignore, sometimes we tempt fate.
If you could feel the way the burden felt, youd probably stay away. If you could feel the way the panic spreads you probably run away. If youve ever felt so lucky and if youve ever even tried. If you say you really love me, than dont tell me lies.
If you could feel the way the burden felt, youd probably stay away. If you could feel the way the panic spreads you probably run away. If youve ever felt so lucky and if youve ever even tried. If you say you really love me, than dont tell me lies. I just wanted you to know.
The first verse of Vaya_'s song Feign begins with the lines "These are the marks we've made / The frailest my cold ghost can go." These lines could be interpreted as an allusion to the scars we leave on ourselves and the world around us; the "marks" we leave could be physical, mental or emotional. The "cold ghost" in this context could represent a feeling of emptiness or detachment. The next line "Ignoring signs of my deceitful life" suggests that the singer is aware of their own flaws and dishonesty, but chooses to hide them. The last line of the verse "I just wanted you to know" could imply a feeling of guilt or a desire for confession, implying that the singer is sharing their thoughts with someone they trust.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional turmoil within the singer. The lines "If you could feel the way the burden felt, you'd probably stay away / If you could feel the way the panic spreads, you'd probably run away" highlight the intense emotions that the singer is experiencing. The burden and panic are emotions that are hard to describe or explain, and the singer implies that others might not be able to cope with this. The lines "But sometimes we just can't ignore, sometimes we tempt fate" could be seen as an acceptance of the risks and consequences of opening up to others.
The chorus repeats the lines "If you could feel the way the burden felt, you'd probably stay away / If you could feel the way the panic spreads, you'd probably run away," emphasizing the emotional intensity of the song. The following lines "If you've ever felt so lucky and if you've ever even tried / If you say you really love me, than don't tell me lies" suggest that the singer is seeking validation and honesty from their loved ones. The final line "But I'm not sure now anymore of whom we made softer" could be seen as an acknowledgement of the conflict and tension that relationships can create.
