Tranquility
vietra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I cry
I wish for someone to hold me in their arms
But they don′t
So I took my phone and search for something
I'm going back in there to feel the heat
Oh

When I cry

I wish I could hear a voice and feel the
Presence of their heart
But they don′t understand
So I grab my phone and type for something
I'm going back to where I feel the heat
Oh

But then I feel so dirty
But I got my tranquility
I feel so safe, as if I'm held
I′m going back to sleep again
But I don′t want to go back there
But I keep coming back there
Where did I go wrong?

When I cry
I wish I could rely on other's warmth
But it′s not there

So I pick my phone and grab my hands
Looking on the moving screen of fake love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vietra's song "Tranquility" describe the feelings of loneliness and yearning for comfort during moments of sadness. The singer expresses a desire for someone to hold them when they cry, but they are left alone to console themselves through their phone. The line "Going back to where I feel the heat" suggests that the singer returns to a familiar source of comfort, perhaps a memory or a specific place.

However, the lyrics also convey a sense of guilt and shame. The line "But then I feel so dirty" implies that the singer may feel ashamed for seeking solace through their phone rather than from another person. Despite this, the singer still finds a sense of tranquility and safety through their actions. The repeated phrase "I'm going back to sleep again" emphasizes the cyclical nature of this behavior, suggesting the difficulty in breaking free from this pattern.

Overall, "Tranquility" is a poignant exploration of the complex emotions that arise in moments of vulnerability and isolation. Through his lyrics, Vietra captures the struggle to find comfort and connection in a world that can often feel cold and impersonal.
