Mantra
palate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are a river
Drown me in this void
Love me with arm floats
I can't pray
The terror keeps me awake
I'm longing a night
I hate the way it's always the same
With every person that i've ever met
It makes me feel so small
It is no choice if no one knows it exists
We are here to be liked or disliked
You can't change anything
You can't change anything if
No one knows who you are
You can't change at all
You can't change
In Palaye Royale's song "Mantra," the lyrics convey a sense of longing and frustration with a world that seems stagnant and unchanging. The opening lines, "Sweep my feet away, You are a river, Drown me in this void, Love me with arm floats," suggest a desire to be consumed by something greater than oneself, to be carried away by the flow of life and love. The use of the image of arm floats indicates a need for protection and support while navigating through this void.
The lyrics continue with a sense of despair and restlessness, with the singer unable to find solace even in prayer. The line, "The terror keeps me awake, I'm longing a night that is filled with rain," suggests a longing for something cathartic and cleansing, a release from the inner turmoil that plagues them. The repetition of "I hate the way it's always the same" reflects the singer's frustration with the repetitive nature of their experiences and relationships, feeling trapped in a cycle that makes them feel insignificant.
The second verse introduces a sense of existential questioning and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. The line, "It is no choice if no one knows it exists, We are here to be liked or disliked," highlights the theme of identity and the struggle to be recognized and understood by others. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness, emphasizing the inability to make meaningful changes if one's true self remains invisible and unknown to the world.
Overall, "Mantra" explores themes of longing, frustration, and the desire for change in a world that often feels stagnant and suffocating. The lyrics delve into existential questions and the pressure to conform, alluding to a universal human struggle for authenticity and recognition.
Line by Line Meaning
Sweep my feet away
Take me by surprise and captivate me completely
You are a river
You possess a flowing and constant nature
Drown me in this void
Immerse me in this empty and desolate space
Love me with arm floats
Protect and support me in your affection
I can't pray
I am unable to find solace in prayer
The terror keeps me awake
Fear and anxiety prevent me from finding sleep
I'm longing a night
I yearn for a time of darkness
That is filled with rain
One that is saturated with cleansing showers
I hate the way it's always the same
I resent the repetitive nature of my experiences
With every person that i've ever met
Regardless of every individual I've encountered
It makes me feel so small
It diminishes my sense of significance
It is no choice if no one knows it exists
Having no awareness of something's existence negates the concept of choice
We are here to be liked or disliked
Our purpose is to be both accepted and rejected by others
You can't change anything
You lack the power to alter any situation
You can't change anything if
Modifying circumstances is impossible when
No one knows who you are
Your true identity remains unknown to others
You can't change at all
You are incapable of undergoing any transformation
You can't change
You cannot modify and evolve
