Symmetry

SYML's song 'Symmetry' delves into the profound themes of life, death, and the inevitable darkness that touches all existence. The lyrics open with a gentle yet somber invitation to a child, urging them not to hide and to face the reality of the day. The mention of angels singing the final song and silence turning to sleep suggests a transition from life to death, a peaceful yet inevitable end that awaits everyone.

The recurring advice to 'take heed' and the warning that 'the darkness will come' serve as a reminder of the unavoidable challenges and the eventual end that life brings. The metaphor of black holes bending the proudest ones and changing their symmetry speaks to the humbling and transformative power of life's trials. Just as the night swallows the Sun, the darkness is portrayed as an all-encompassing force that will come for everyone, regardless of their strength or pride.

In the final verses, the song shifts to a more comforting tone, urging the child to rest as the day ends. The dark is described as coming for everything, emphasizing the universality of this experience. The line 'inside the heart of everyone, there lives infinity' suggests that within each person lies an eternal essence, a part of the infinite cycle of life and death. SYML's 'Symmetry' beautifully captures the balance between light and dark, life and death, and the acceptance of the inevitable changes that shape our existence.
