Follow the Body
Zanias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
something aches.
(I've been flowing right out of your hands…)
Every cell is telling me "run",
how can I turn around?
"Listen to the heart", they say
(flowing right out of your hands…)
every cell is telling me "run",
The first verse of Zanias's song Follow the Body is a portrayal of a person experiencing a sense of discomfort while waking up. There is a feeling of fear in her body, which seems to be telling her to run away from something or someone. The lyrics "something aches" is perhaps reflecting the mental pain that she is going through. The line "(I've been flowing right out of your hands…)" might suggest a sense of losing control or being powerless.
The chorus "Listen to the heart", they say, signifies the importance of following one's intuition or inner voice. It's clear that every "cell" in her body is telling her to flee, but she also doesn't want to abandon the one she's singing to. Ultimately, she grapples with the idea of what it might mean to turn her back and leave.
The lyrics to Follow the Body leave a lot of room for interpretation, but it's clear that Zanias is grappling with self-doubt and the idea of living with the consequences of abandonment. The song carries a sense of melancholy throughout, but it ultimately serves as a reminder to trust oneself and follow one's own inner voice.
