have you ever
mindfreakkk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One misstep you might fall
That's not all
Walking down the path in danger wrath
You end up being blown (so gone, so long)
Lonely times and lonely signs
It's easier to lie
'Cause you, have you ever wondered why the sea
Never cried for you when you say your dreams?
The sun is rising high
But all I see are tears
Oh you, have you ever felt so incomplete
Searching endlessly for thе missing piece?
Wait a little whilе it's gonna be alright
(Gosh, there are so many things I wanna tell you
It's been pretty rough
I wish we had more time)
Lonely times and lonely signs
No one can hear, no one so dear
Too much to say I'm fine, okay
It's easier to lie
'Cause you, have you ever wondered why the sea
Never cried for you when you say your dreams?
The sun is rising high but all I see are tears
Oh you, have you ever felt so incomplete
Searching endlessly for the missing piece?
Wait a little while it's gonna be alright
(You know what?
Whenever I look at the stars
I think of you
I just hope that you think of me too
I'll see you again soon)
The first verse of "Have You Ever" by Mindfreakkk paints a picture of someone walking down the street, possibly lost in thought or not paying attention, and in danger of falling. The lyrics are a metaphor for the path of life and the potential pitfalls that one may encounter. The line "Walking down the path in danger wrath / You end up being blown (so gone, so long)" suggests that a misstep on this path can lead to destruction or being lost forever. The use of both alliteration and repetition in this verse serves to enhance the ominous tone of the lyrics.
The chorus of the song shifts the focus to the feeling of loneliness and incompleteness. The lyrics ask a series of rhetorical questions about how the world seems indifferent to one's dreams and struggles, and how it can feel impossible to find what's missing. The line "The sun is rising high / But all I see are tears" is a powerful image that speaks to the feeling of being trapped in sadness even as the world moves forward. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the line "Wait a little while it's gonna be alright," suggesting that there is hope for a better future.
The second verse continues the theme of loneliness and the difficulty of being honest about one's struggles. The line "Too much to say I'm fine, okay / It's easier to lie" captures the experience of putting on a brave face when things feel out of control. The use of the phrase "lonely signs" suggests a feeling of isolation and the lack of anyone to turn to for help. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer misses someone, and hopes that they are thinking of each other. This adds a layer of emotional depth to the song that suggests it might be about a specific person or experience.
