Song Meaning of “Statue” by Noisear
The song ‘Statue’ by Noisear is about the hurt of living in a judgemental society. Everyone around us is influenced by the pressures of popular opinion and it can be suffocating and stifling to conform. The song speaks of the need to break free of this absurd way of life and to make a stand against what society tells us we should be.
The lyrics talk of being a ‘statue’ held in place by the expectations of others. The creator of the statue is in control of how it is viewed and the song speaks of breaking away from their control and being the person we want to be. We can stand alone without following the crowd, and the suggestion is to stand up and speak out, to be true to ourselves and not be afraid of what other people think of us.
The song ends with the words ‘Scream; your real voice. Don’t hesitate, be who you want to be’. Our lives should not be dictated by what others think, and this serves as a reminder to us all that we are in control of the person we are. ‘Statue’ is a powerful reminder that it is ok to be ourselves, to challenge social norms and to live life on our own terms.
