Ortus
Voices From The Fuselage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I venture to find you.
We opt for peace,
it never works out.
Descrepencies lead us to inhabit doubt.
I'll coincide if it means I can learn.
To understand what I cannot discern.
Now i need more than a familiar face.
Do I already know the ground I roam?
Pay witness to memories rising from words on a page.
I could be wrong.
My youth is a dove that cries to be freed from its cage.
Will we risk it all?
In a hope that we find satisfaction at a later stage?
But oh, how we were wrong,
We are the modern age.
In the opening lines of the song Ortus, the singer is searching for someone or something that lies beneath a delicate and transparent exterior. This could refer to a person with a vulnerable emotional state, or a hidden truth that is waiting to be discovered. The subsequent lines explore the complexities of pursuing peace in a world full of contradictions and inconsistencies that cause us to doubt our own convictions. The singer is willing to set aside their differences with others if it means gaining a deeper understanding of the world and themselves. However, they also express a desire to escape the mundane and find something new and exciting.
The chorus is where the theme of uncertainty becomes more apparent. The singer questions whether they truly understand the world they inhabit or if they are just repeating the things they have been told. The line "My youth is a dove that cries to be freed from its cage" hints at a desire for freedom and independence, and a rejection of the restrictions placed on them by society or their own past experiences. The final lines express a sense of disillusionment with the state of the world, but also a determination to embrace the challenges of the modern age and find meaning in it.
Overall, the lyrics of Ortus are introspective and contemplative, exploring themes of identity, purpose, and belonging. The song encourages listeners to question their assumptions and beliefs, and to be open to new experiences and perspectives.
