Tablet

TOOBOE's song 'Tablet' is a vivid exploration of chaos, liberation, and the search for meaning amidst the turbulence of life. The lyrics paint a picture of a world where the lines between good and evil blur, and where the protagonist grapples with inner turmoil and external pressures. The imagery of a 'round moon' and 'skyscrapers entangled with power lines' sets a surreal stage, suggesting a world that is both beautiful and confining. The mention of 'blonde hair' and being 'looked down upon and eaten' evokes a sense of vulnerability and exploitation.

The song delves into themes of violence and madness, with references to a 'Venus laughing' and a 'dancing demon of madness.' These metaphors highlight the chaotic and often destructive nature of human emotions and actions. The lyrics also touch on the idea of impermanence and the fleeting nature of youth, as seen in the lines 'the momentary youth that fades away' and 'the scream heard that day never stops ringing in my eardrums.' This sense of ephemerality is contrasted with the desire for freedom and strength, as the protagonist yearns to 'break through control and become free.'

Amidst the chaos, there is a poignant search for love and connection. The protagonist's heart 'keeps shaking' and they continue to 'search for love without freezing.' This quest for love is intertwined with a longing for recognition and remembrance, as seen in the plea 'don't forget my existence.' The song ultimately suggests that even in the face of chaos and loss, there is a possibility for beauty and connection, as the protagonist finds themselves wishing for the happiness of another and hoping for a shared future. The repeated refrain of 'let's think again, let's become strong, let's break through control and become free' serves as a powerful call to action, urging listeners to seek their own liberation and embrace the beauty of imperfection.
