Blasphemy
Yves Klein Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no name for it in spite of men more clever than I.
Wistful men of scripture wander the earth
'Cos of their faith they're born to die,
Or else are not pious…
Seems a long time just to be waiting to live my life! I say -
It's so much better each time.
I feel like everything's fine.
It only happens of course,
When I run onto their swords.
I'm never knowing quite why, but I…
I believe in something else.
Oh, I believe in science being a window
We look out of but never back inside.
And I believe that weeks and streets cheat the feet
Of anyone that tries to run beside -
But never you mind!
Falling behind is where I found the best of life! I say,
It's so much better each time.
I feel like I could die.
Oh, I feel like everything's fine.
It only happens of course,
When I run onto their swords,
I'm never knowing quite why, but I…
Yes, I believe in something else.
(watch me now…)
Children of a different design all march to different drums
But they're all marching in time!
That's a funny coincidence; that's funny don't you think that they'd realise?
And masses singing songs for a child,
But the melodies wild and they're all out of time!
Some who sing, well they hardly start -
They sing with half a heart and in doing so they lie.
But I'm not the one to decide, who's pulling the wool over your eyes;
'Cos I've only lived behind my own eyes,
And if I told you different it'd just be a lie. I say…
Each man believes it's his right,
To show the others the light -
But a minds' limit's a life.
Each in each others exile,
And guiltier than those they try.
Oh it's no small wonder that I, yes I …
I believe in something else.
In the song "Blasphemy" by Yves Klein Blue, the lyrics express the idea that there is something beyond the religious, scientific, and societal norms that restrict people. The singer believes in an unknown force or power, which he calls "something else"; it is beyond human comprehension and isn't bound by rules, unlike the limiting beliefs of religious or scientific dogma. The song argues against the constrictive nature of imposed ideologies on people's lives. This is exemplified in the lyrics "I'm never knowing quite why, but I...I believe in something else." Here, the singer asserts that his belief may be incomprehensible to others, but it is his choice, and he is free to believe as he chooses.
Furthermore, the song talks about rebellion against social norms and the way people are confined to a certain path based on their beliefs. Lines such as "Falling behind is where I found the best of life," and "Children of a different design all march to different drums" speak to this theme. People are forced to conform to social expectations rather than being allowed to live on their terms. The song is an appeal for people to overcome the limitations imposed by cultural, scientific, or religious beliefs and to embrace a broader perspective of the world.
