Our defeat and downfall will also begin from our innermost selfĮverything will eventually cease to exist We were created from our innermost essence and being You are the combination of two opposing forces, like water when clouds collide You are the luxurious and refreshing drink served beside a pool You are a temporary and changing element, like sand during high tide You are the soothing object that offers comfort, like a cool side of a pillow I am also the person with authority and influence I am the lifeless body under the custody of the coroner I am the person who holds power and position as a lawyer in a high-rise building I am the person burdened by addiction, visible in the street corner Overall, "Sang Real" is a contemplative meditation on the human condition, emphasizing the complexities and contradictions of our nature and the inevitable impermanence of our existence. These symbols speak to a sense of comfort and tranquility that is fleeting and ultimately overshadowed by the darker realities of life. The second verse reintroduces the imagery of the pillow, the cool side, and the water during high tide. He is both a local and a foreigner, a loner despite having many friends, and still identifiable by his addictive tendencies despite being sober. The chorus emphasizes the fragility of life, both the formation and the eventual collapse, reminding us that everything is temporary and nothing lasts forever.Īs the song progresses, the dichotomy within the narrator is further explored. The opening lines of the song describe the contrasting personas within the same person - the struggling addict and the powerful lawyer, the victim and the leader. I could imagine it being a pretty good bonfire/chillout album.The lyrics of "Sang Real" by Dredg are introspective and somber, reflecting on the duality of human nature and the inevitability of the cycle of life and death. I don't hate it, but I sincerely hope that this is just a phase for them. maybe the worst dredg song ever.īefore It Began - again, good song.not much more.Ĭonsensus: Easily the worst dredg album. Kalathat - probably my favorite song on the album.tied with The Ornament. The Thought of Losing You - typical single. one of the stronger ones on this album.ĭown Without a Fight - the most "non-dredg" song. Somebody Is Laughing - also a pretty sweet song. the beat reminds me of Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise.
