Fair

Remy Zero's song 'Fair' delves into themes of loneliness, hope, and the passage of time. The opening lines, 'Hey, are you lonely? Has summer gone so slowly?' set a melancholic tone, suggesting a sense of isolation and the slow, almost painful passage of time. The imagery of summer fading and the coldness that follows evokes a feeling of loss and the inevitable changes that come with time. The question 'Where'd you go? To me?' hints at a longing for connection and the pain of separation.

The chorus, 'So what if you catch me, where would we land? In somebody's life for taking his hands,' explores the uncertainty and vulnerability of forming new connections. The metaphor of being 'thrown on the sand' suggests a sense of being cast aside or left in a precarious situation. Despite this, there is a glimmer of hope as the singer asks for hope to be sung to them, indicating a desire for reassurance and comfort amidst the turmoil.

The song also touches on themes of resilience and the struggle to find meaning in life and work. Lines like 'And this life and work and choice took far too long' reflect the frustration and weariness that can come with life's challenges. However, the repeated assertion that 'tonight the sun shall see its light' serves as a reminder that there is always the potential for renewal and new beginnings. The closing lines, 'I know you won't fail, see, I can tell,' offer a sense of faith and confidence in the resilience of the human spirit, suggesting that despite the hardships, there is always hope for a brighter future.
