The Voice

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voices going
What is real and fake
I don't remember who's close and who's far
My memories have faded away
This obsidian room
Keeping me safe from doom
Coz his voice is getting louder
And I'm loosing all my power
It's getting hard to breathe in here
I got rid of the voice rid of the voice rid of the voice
He got out of my head out of my head out of my head
But what if he's still waiting inside
Is it time for me to run and hide
Is it time for me to run and hide
These books I'm writing
These memories I'm saving
How will I know what I've done
I didn't do those things you said
They just went over my head
It all leads back to him
He's the answer to it all
He says it's me but I know it's not true
Coz his voice is getting louder
And I'm loosing all my power
It's getting hard to breathe in here
I got rid of the voice rid of the voice rid of the voice
He got out of my head out of my head out of my head
But what if he's still waiting inside
Is it time for me to run and hide
Is it time for me to run and hide
I got rid of the voice
he got out of my head
I got rid of the voice
Is it time for me to run and hide
I got rid of the voice rid of the voice rid of the voice
He got out of my head out of my head out of my head
But what if he's still waiting inside
Is it time for me to run and hide
Is it time for me to run and hide
The lyrics to "The Voice" by Spirental are about the struggle of distinguishing between reality and fiction and the danger of losing oneself to a dominant voice inside one's head. The song's opening lines, "Voices coming, voices going, what is real and fake," suggests that the singer is struggling with the presence of multiple voices that they cannot differentiate between. This confusion is further compounded by the singer's loss of memory in the lines "I don't remember who's close and who's far, my memories have faded away." The obscure "obsidian room" that the singer finds themselves in is described as keeping them safe from "doom," which may suggest that the voices they are hearing are haunting and possibly dangerous.
The song then takes a turn, with the singer indicating that they can no longer stay in the obsidian room because the voice is getting louder, and they are losing all their power. The lyric "I got rid of the voice, rid of the voice, rid of the voice, he got out of my head, out of my head, out of my head" suggests that the singer has fought to get rid of the controlling voice and hopes they have succeeded. However, the fear remains that the voice may still be lurking inside them, making them doubt whether it is time to "run and hide."
In conclusion, "The Voice" by Spirental is a thought-provoking and introspective song that explores the struggle of losing oneself to a controlling voice inside one's head, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction.
