Signals Over The Air
This is what you see when you look in my direction:
Incandescent corsets draw eyes tight like wires.
This is how it feels,
Calling out but no one even hears
The signals that we send over the air
Over the air
Over the air
Over the air.
[Chorus]
When you say my name,
I want to split it from your lips
And hide like whispers in the rain.
When you say my name,
I want to stop it in your lungs
And collect all of your blood to put in the radio.
Is this how it feels
When you don't even fit into your own skin?
And its getting tighter,
Every day I'm getting smaller
If I keep holding my breath I'm going to disappear.
[Chorus]
There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on the radio.
There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on.
If I keep holding my breath, all of this will fade away.
If you keep driving we'll be lying in the wreck.
Changing the shape,
Folding like an envelope to keep each other in.
Shattered glass, broken looks, and mascara gets
Washed away by windshield wiper blades.
[Chorus]
There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on the radio.
There's no where to hide.
They stole the love from our lives to put the sex on the radio.
That's where we hide
The love and lies and sex, on the radio.
Significado de la letra
'Signals Over The Air' by Thursday is a reflective and emotive song that delves into themes of feeling unseen and unheard in a world where external pressures attempt to shape our identities. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of struggling to be noticed, of feeling constricted and suffocated by societal expectations and the desire for validation.
The chorus speaks of a desire to disconnect from one's own name, to escape the confines of the self and merge into something greater, only to feel lost and suffocated by the weight of existence. The imagery of holding one's breath, of fading away, and feeling like one is disappearing adds a sense of urgency and desperation to the song.
The lyrics also touch on the commercialization of love and intimacy, lamenting how these authentic emotions are replaced by shallow representations on the radio. The idea of stolen love and the intrusion of sex into the public sphere create a sense of betrayal and loss.
The final verse conveys a sense of chaos and destruction, with references to shattered glass and broken looks, suggesting a relationship in turmoil. The imagery of washing away mascara with windshield wipers evokes a feeling of cleansing and renewal, perhaps hinting at the potential for redemption and growth amidst the turmoil.
Overall, 'Signals Over The Air' is a powerful and introspective exploration of identity, love, and the impact of external influences on personal relationships. It conveys a sense of yearning for authenticity in a world that often prioritizes surface-level appearances and commercial interests.
