| Periphery – Ow My Feelings Lyrics | 7 years ago |
|
There are a few interpretations I've gotten from this song, personally. My current favorite is that the song is about the struggling in a world disconnected from what many consider to be our true nature of existence and the experience of ego death. There are recurring references throughout the album that paint a picture of spiritual growth and awakening. "Torn away dissolving the life I know Grasp the light Feel the glow enfolding" "Through time these cries distort the view Hopeless misdirection We all defy the chance to know This world is not the one I knew Holding tight to our beliefs Awake to what we have become" I think it also brings to the attention of the listener the distorted and harmful direction of our society. Periphery has been my favorite band since I discovered them in 2010. Both their musicianship and lyricism always seem to remain relevant to my journey and experiences. As I grow and change so too do the meanings I gain from their songs. |
