Transparent
in flames猀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Persuade the most hideous and ugly
Under every pile and stone
A rebirth, for you to find
Freedom is to be able
To go in any direction
So take the uncertain path
[Pre-Chorus:]
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don't lie to yourself
[Chorus:]
Secrets left above the grave (It's not for one to keep)
You're all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken (see what became of their mistake)
You know you're lost when you feel transparent
Be at one with the wind
Even if it's a struggle
Make this your priority
Open all your senses
To new impressions
Act like all that was has vanished
[Pre-Chorus:]
One foot in the open
Ten feet ahead
Build your own ladder
And don't lie to yourself
[Chorus:]
Secrets left above the grave (It's not for one to keep)
You're all so self destructive
Spend more time with the broken (see what became of their mistake)
You know you're lost when you feel transparent
You know you're lost
You know you're lost
You know you're lost when you feel transparent
The song "Transparent" by In Flames is a profound and reflective track that encourages individuals to stop hiding behind secrets and lies, and instead embrace their flaws and mistakes. The lyrics call for people to confront and accept their own imperfections and the imperfections of others, urging them to spend more time with those who have been broken and to learn from their mistakes. The verses convey the idea that there is beauty in imperfection and that true freedom is found in being able to go in any direction, even if it means taking the uncertain path.
The chorus repeats the line "You know you're lost when you feel transparent" which can be interpreted as feeling exposed or vulnerable when one's true self is revealed. The song encourages people to embrace their true selves and not to be afraid of being vulnerable or judged. The pre-chorus advises listeners to "build your own ladder and don't lie to yourself," which implies that one should create their own path in life and not follow the expectations of others or pretend to be someone they are not.
Overall, "Transparent" promotes self-reflection and growth, urging individuals to embrace their flaws and learn from their mistakes. It provides a message of hope that suggests that by accepting ourselves and others, we can find true freedom and peace.
