Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Vex” by Alexisonfire
“Vex” by Alexisonfire is an emotionally powerful song that speaks to the often messy and tumultuous nature of life. It speaks to the difficult road of self-discovery and the insecurities of life that can lead to feelings of being overwhelmed or “vexed”. At times, it can seem like the world is entirely too big, and we are too small to make a difference. In the chorus, the singer laments that the world has presented difficulty after difficulty, making the journey of life uncertain and hard to navigate. The song serves as an uplifting reminder to stay positive and embrace life – to not be vexed – even when faced with adversity and hardship. Despite the struggles of life, it is possible to find peace and comfort in the knowledge that things can and will get better if we take the time to figure them out.
