- Gravity Lyrics / with translationsagainst
the flux
play the field
push the wheel
horizontal
silently
talking
being boxed in
friends
friends of friends
and so on
fruitless triumph
of newton's search
only proves that flesh and muscle
are being pulled off our bones
the flux
play the field
push the wheel
horizontal
silently
talking
being boxed in

friends of friends
and so on
fruitless triumph
of newton's search
only proves that flesh and muscle
are being pulled off our bones

When we take a closer look at its interpretation, Gravity by Minutemen is an exploration of the battle with the society's expectations and the force of nature that can hardly be resisted, where the metaphors 'fruitless triumph' and 'Newton's search' are used to express the human existence being pulled to death by gravity. The lyrics of Gravity mainly point out the different aspects of personal reflection, hopelessness, isolation, and to a certain degree, the feeling of being angry. While the song exhibits the significance of the struggle for existence, it also points to the futility of the human effort. The lyrics portray themes like existential contemplation and the fight against social conventions, which can be hard to grasp for kids and pre-teens. The image of 'flesh and muscle being pulled off our bones' is quite vivid and somewhat too much for a young audience.
