The meaning of the lyrics of the song "E.S.T. (EST)" by the artist "White Lies"

Contents

In White Lies' song "E.S.T.", the lyrical hero is in a state of despair and longing, possibly caused by unrequited love. He is ready for reckless actions ("Tell me to jump, and I’ll fall to my death"), finding solace only in his dreams ("In my dreams I’m already there").

The phrase "I always hoped that I would learn to fly" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the pursuit of freedom, an escape from a reality that seems unbearable to the hero. He feels bound, limited ("You can tie my arms behind my back to the wall"), but his spirit, his dreams remain free.

The hero realizes that his actions can be destructive ("Maybe I’ll fall like a stone from your heart"), but he is ready to make sacrifices for love. He is not afraid of death ("don’t say 'rest in peace' in your prayers"), seeing it as a possible liberation.

The recurring phrase "Fate always loses its grip / Like electrical sparks in my heart" conveys a sense of instability, chaos that reigns within the hero. He is not in control of his life, he is overwhelmed by emotions ("electrical sparks").

At the end of the song, the hero addresses the object of his love, begging him to remember him and be honest. The repetition of the phrase "I hope you remember me" emphasizes the importance of this desire for the lyrical hero, for whom the memory of his beloved is the only thing left.

If you tell me to jump then i'll die.

In my dreams i'm there.

I always hoped that i'd learn how to fly.

In my dreams i'm there.

You can tie my hands to the walls,

But you cant tie my dreams to this place.

I might fall like a rock from your heart,

But you won't see me fall from grace.

Fate always loses hold.

Like electric sparks in my heart.

Fate always loses hold.

Now be a good girl and do what you're told.

If you tell me to jump then i'll die.

In my dreams i'm there.

I always hoped that irsquo;d learn how to fly.

In my dreams i'm there.

I leave my memoirs in blood on the floor.

And my fear with the nurse on the stairs.

I'm only going where you'll be someday,

So don't say rest in peace in your prayers.

Fate always loses hold.

Like electric sparks in my heart.

Fate always loses hold.

Now be a good girl and do what you're told.

I hope you remember me.

I hope you never pretend for me.

I hope you remember me.

I hope you...

Fate always loses hold.

Like electric sparks in my heart.

Fate always loses hold.

Now be a good girl and do what you're told.

I hope you remember me.

I hope you never pretend for me.

I hope you remember me.

I hope you never forget about me.

I hope you remember me.

I hope you never pretend for me.

I hope you remember me.

I hope you...
