The song "Sending Signals" by Evergreen Terrace is about feeling trapped and overwhelmed by the world's problems and seeking help and support. The lyrics express the protagonist's frustration and despair, as they send out a signal, hoping that someone will receive and believe in their words. The song describes the difficulty of believing and finding hope when one feels suffocated and unable to breathe. The weight of the world and its complications break their spirit and crush their hope. They question if anyone is out there to help them escape from their metaphorical hole of despair. Despite knowing that the journey ahead will be hard and rough, and that life always seems to demand more, the protagonist acknowledges that they are giving their all. However, they wonder if giving alone is enough and if they need to push through the darkness and negativity in their life. There is a sense of separation and detachment from the complications of the world. The protagonist declares that they are not coming back to the overwhelming and complicated situation they are in. Instead, they send a signal once again, questioning if anyone cares and if anyone believes in the ways of the world they are experiencing. The lyrics ask for a reason to not look away, a reason to try, and a reason to stay. They seek someone to give them a reason to care and to help them find purpose and meaning in their struggles. The overall message of the song is one of reaching out, seeking support, and finding a reason to keep going despite the challenges of life. It speaks to the universal longing for connection, understanding, and hope in difficult times.
