Particles
Yotam Perel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unspoken problems
Quickly dusted under carpets
They're just lint now
And my asthma's picking up

I've made it tough, took no advices
Fought with myself
And it's clear now
I haven't been in enough fights

If you knew, my baby
What I go through on daily basis
Drowning through phases is filling my lungs
With anxious actions of love

You learned of particles too young
Read up on articles and some facts
Of life make you feel
Meaningless

It's not a great truth, I suppose
To pose through life and decompose
Opposes any sense
Of self relevance

If I knew, my baby
What you go through on daily basis
To fear I'm depressed again, pressed up against
Worried eyes, good intent

The waves will keep on crashing
Birds indoors will keep on thrashing
Gracelessly hatching
A better way out

If we knew, my baby
What we go through on daily basis
Incessantly floating through space and time
Stardust caught up in our eyes





Ends abruptly, no reprise...

The singer believes that if his partner knew what he goes through on a daily basis, she would understand him better. He’s filled with anxious love, and it keeps pulling him down like drowning waves.


The song seems to convey the notion that we are all part of a bigger universe, floating carelessly through space and time without any purpose. It can feel meaningless, and the singer wishes he could understand what his partner goes through every day. The lyrics highlight how sometimes we feel lost and uncertain about the future, but we must keep moving forward, hoping we will find our way out. The song ends abruptly, leaving the listeners with an unresolved feeling.
