- Volcano Lyrics / with translationsI've been walking on these streets so long
I don't know where they're going to lead anymore
But I think I must have seen a ghost
I don't know if it's my illusions that keep me alive
I don't know what I've seen
Was it all an illusion?
All a mirage gone bad?
I'm tired of evil
And all that it feeds
But I don't know
I've been drifting on this wave so long
I don't know if it's already crashed on the shore
And I've been riding on this train so long
I can't tell if it's you or me who's driving us into the ground
I don't know if I'm sane
But there's a ghost in my heart
Who's trying to see in the dark
I'm tired of people who only want to be pleased
But I still want to please you
And I heard of that Japanese girl
Who jumped into the volcano
Was she trying to make it back?
Back into the womb of the world?
I've been drinking all these tears so long
All I've got left is the taste of salt in my mouth
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I'm going
To that volcano
I don't want to fall in though
Just want to warm my bones
On that fire a while
I don't know where they're going to lead anymore
But I think I must have seen a ghost
I don't know if it's my illusions that keep me alive
I don't know what I've seen
Was it all an illusion?
All a mirage gone bad?
I'm tired of evil
And all that it feeds
But I don't know
I've been drifting on this wave so long
I don't know if it's already crashed on the shore
And I've been riding on this train so long
I can't tell if it's you or me who's driving us into the ground
I don't know if I'm sane
Who's trying to see in the dark
I'm tired of people who only want to be pleased
But I still want to please you
And I heard of that Japanese girl
Who jumped into the volcano
Was she trying to make it back?
Back into the womb of the world?
I've been drinking all these tears so long
All I've got left is the taste of salt in my mouth
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I'm going
To that volcano
I don't want to fall in though
Just want to warm my bones
On that fire a while

✔️
It is first released on July 05, 2008 as part of Beck's album "Modern Guilt" which includes 10 tracks in total. This song is the 9th track on this album.
✔️
When we try to piece together the story behind the words, Beck's song 'Volcano' depicts the artist's struggle with life uncertainties through his emotional distress which he expresses through the metaphors 'ghost in my heart' and 'drifting on this wave' as he searches for answers to his confusion while everything around him becomes chaotic. The Volcano lyrics primarily display three different states of mind which include reflection, existential distress, and feelings of sadness that result from losing contact with others. The song demonstrates how people need to experience uncertainty while they search for their life purpose and need to connect with others yet find themselves exhausted by shallow relationships which defend their need for affection. Young listeners may find the lyrics disturbing because they present themes of despair together with confusion and dark visual elements. The reference to a Japanese girl who jumps into a volcano serves as a potential suicide reference which represents a delicate issue. The content elements in this work establish a PG-13 rating because the material demands parental guidance for children who are younger than 13 years old.
