Untethered
Zanias Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and I have no choice but to accept the way
our lives are turning out.
"Would you have left him if you'd known
you'd only be alone?
Would you have left him if you'd known?"
"Forever" is the falsest word,
it's so impossible,
cnd yet we tie it to the things that surely die.
We tie it to the things that surely die.
cnd certainty is rare,
but I know one thing for sure:
the universe will devastate us all.
The universe will devastate us all.
The opening line of Zanias's song "Untethered" sets the tone of the song as one of reflection and contemplation. The line "The year is bleeding by" refers to the passage of time, which is often compared to the flow of blood. This metaphor suggests that the singer feels like time is slipping away from them and that they are unable to hold onto it, much like blood cannot be contained or stopped once it starts to flow. The singer's contemplation turns to acceptance in the second line, where they admit that they have no choice but to accept the way their lives are turning out. This acceptance is not necessarily one of resignation, but rather an acknowledgement that some things are beyond our control.
The song then moves to a series of questions directed at the singer, which serves to question their decisions and actions. The question "Would you have left him if you'd known you'd only be alone?" implies regret and suggests that the singer may have made a decision that they're now questioning. The repetition of this question creates a sense of uncertainty and highlights the singer's introspection. The following line, "Forever is the falsest word, it's so impossible, it's so absurd," emphasizes the fragility and transience of things that we often hold as eternal or permanent. The last two lines of the verse, "And yet we tie it to the things that surely die. We tie it to the things that surely die," further emphasize the irony of how we attach the concept of forever to things that are doomed to end.
The chorus of the song brings a sense of brutal honesty and finality, with the lines "And certainty is rare, but I know one thing for sure: the universe will devastate us all. The universe will devastate us all." The singer acknowledges the fact that everything is temporary, including human life, and that at some point, the universe will inevitably bring about our destruction. This bleak outlook may seem fatalistic to some, but the honesty in the singer's words and the way they confront the inevitability of our existence turning into nothingness can be seen as a source of freedom and liberation.

The year is bleeding by
and I have no choice but to accept the way our lives are turning out.
Would you have left him if you’d known
you’d only be alone?
Would you have left him if you’d known?
“Forever” is the falsest word.
It’s so impossible, it’s so absurd,
and yet we tie it to the things that surely die.
We tie it to the things that surely die.
And certainty is rare
but I know one thing for sure:
the universe will devastate us all.
The universe will devastate us all.
(So dry your eyes, dry your eyes)
At least I know I tried...

I just can't get enough of your cross genre intersections. I can't tell you how many times I've played this track since your release. Thank you.
Alejandro Salinas
Excellent work as usual. I like everything she does, her work as Linea Aspera or Keluar as well.
LOSE
Wish she'd do more with Keluar. That one album they did was insanely good. Tracks like instinct, cleo, vitriol , surface etc. Crazy
Bradley Pence
Her masterpiece thus far, in my opinion.
