The song "Transparent" by Elysion is about a person who is feeling lost, broken, and disconnected from their loved ones. The lyrics convey a sense of longing for someone to come and save them from their despair. The opening lines, "Here I'm sitting, One step too far, For you I'm reaching, my falling star," suggest that the protagonist feels they have pushed themselves to the limit, but they are still hoping that someone special, symbolized by the "falling star," will come and save them from their current state. The following lines, "So out of words, So full of wounds, I wander here, among my ruins," depict the protagonist as being speechless and emotionally wounded. They feel lost and are wandering amidst the wreckage of their life, possibly referring to a broken relationship or personal struggles. The lines, "Is this what we fear, what we have become? Is this what we are?" express the protagonist's introspection about their current situation. They question whether they have become what they fear the most or if their current state is a reflection of who they truly are. The chorus, "Come take me back, carry me home, Unbreak my heart, conscience is gone, Come end the rain, for all I know, Among the teardrops I can't reach, Can't see your transparent love," reveals the plea for someone to bring them back to a place of emotional safety and happiness. The protagonist asks to have their heart mended, as their conscience seems to be lost. They long for the rain (representing sadness or emotional turmoil) to stop and for someone to bring them solace and love, which they seem unable to perceive at the moment. Overall, "Transparent" reflects the theme of longing for emotional connection and rescue from personal struggles. The song encapsulates feelings of vulnerability, longing, and a desire to be understood.
