Airglow
Unveiling the Enigma: Symbol Soup's Airglow Meaning
Lyrics
Unboxing silicon
Engaging with technology or modernity, possibly opening up possibilities.
Data dying in the airglow
Data disappearing or becoming obsolete in the ambient light after being unboxed or revealed.
I’m in no habit of reaching you
Not accustomed to communicating with you.
So many motions to go through
There are numerous steps or actions to undertake.
Time lost
Time has been wasted.
It’s a sunken cost
Time spent is an irrecoverable loss.
Drawing chalk around you still
Symbolically creating a boundary around someone, possibly to protect or define a space.
It’s honest work for a machine
Engaging in honest and meaningful labor, possibly for a machine or in a mechanized environment.
Grind the quicksand century
Facing the challenges and difficulties of the current era.
It’s graded
Assessment or evaluation is taking place.
It’s gradual
Progress is happening gradually and in a measured manner.
But I saw your sadness turning macho
Witnessing someone's sorrow transforming into a more assertive or masculine expression.
Show me
Requesting clarification or disclosure of information.
What’s it to be?
Questioning the future and one's own existence.
What’s my expiration date?
Seeking information about the duration or validity of one's existence.
When the word future sends a shiver through me
Feeling a sense of apprehension or discomfort about the future.
If the mind’s a monkey jealousy’s a junky
Comparing the mind to a monkey and indicating that jealousy is like a craving or addiction.
That vision, we get a glance
Having a fleeting glimpse of a particular vision or idea.
Your unforced errors and return stats
Observing mistakes and performance statistics that are not coerced or influenced.
That moon ball , it’s no good
A metaphorical reference to an ineffective or unhelpful situation.
Being told to get a grip
Being advised to take control or handle a situation.
Like it’s paramount
Emphasizing the significance of something.
Like it still counts
Stating that something still matters or has relevance.
When the laughter’s tentative now, I can hear it
Noticing hesitation or uncertainty in laughter and being aware of it.
And it sends a shiver through me
Experiencing discomfort or unease when contemplating the future.
If the mind’s a monkey jealousy’s a junky
Reiterating the analogy of the mind as a monkey and portraying jealousy as a persistent craving.
