Singularity
eye and eye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need to share my reflections
It's about your obsessions
That chained me down to the depths of the sea

A world that claims our desires
It sets me on fire
Can't you see that my humility's deplete?
And all in all
I can't take control
I can't breathe
I can't see anything

I want to know why it is leaving me
And I feel it leave, my singularity

I'm not the monkey that's molded to your every need
The cog that spins like clockwork without questioning
Cast out, disposed and stepped on like a disgusting insect
I'm the monkey that will bite back
I'm the monkey that breaks your neck

Can you tell me?
I want to know why it is leaving me
And I feel it leave, my singularity

I will bite back
I'll break your neck
Look at me with your eyes of neglect
Tired of constantly feeling oppressed

I will bite back
I'll break your neck
Look at me with your eyes of neglect
I will break your neck

Can you tell me?
I want to know why it is leaving me
And I feel it leave, my singularity





I feel it leave
All that I am that is me

Overall Meaning

In the song "Singularity" by Eye and Eye, the lyrics delve into themes of self-reflection, breaking free from societal expectations, and reclaiming personal identity. The lyrics express a desire to voice one's thoughts and experiences, challenging the listener to reflect upon their own obsessions.


The opening lines, "I need to share my reflections, It's about your obsessions, That chained me down to the depths of the sea," suggest a feeling of being emotionally trapped and limited by someone else's fixations. The reference to being chained down to the depths of the sea symbolizes a suffocating and restrictive environment.


The following lines, "A world that claims our desires, It sets me on fire, Can't you see that my humility's deplete?" highlight the pressure to conform to societal expectations and desires. The repetition of the phrase "Can't you see" emphasizes the frustration and depletion of personal humility in the pursuit of fitting in.


The chorus, "And all in all, I can't take control, I can't breathe, I can't see anything" signifies a sense of helplessness and suffocation within this oppressive environment. The repetition of phrases emphasizes the overwhelming feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to break free.


The second verse presents a bold declaration of individuality and refusal to conform: "I'm not the monkey that's molded to your every need, The cog that spins like clockwork without questioning." The imagery of being a monkey conveys a sense of being controlled and manipulated. The phrase "bite back" signifies a rebellion against this conformity, a refusal to be stepped on or disposed of.


The repeated question, "Can you tell me? I want to know why it is leaving me" reflects a search for understanding and insight into the reasons for feeling detached from one's own identity. The mention of "singularity" suggests a longing for a unique and authentic existence, independent from the expectations and judgments of others.


The closing lines, "I feel it leave, all that I am that is me," emphasize the profound sense of loss and disconnection from one's true self. This self-awareness and desire to reclaim personal identity resound throughout the entirety of the song.


In summary, "Singularity" is a powerful anthem about the struggle to break free from societal pressures, reclaim personal identity, and challenge the expectations that suppress individuality. It encourages self-reflection, self-assertion, and the rejection of oppression in order to embrace one's own authenticity.
