“Symmetry” is an anthem about the self doubt we all face in life, and how it can be the most crippling voice of all. The song reminds us that we’re not alone in these negative feelings, and to find strength through solidarity to overcome our fears and take the leaps we need to succeed.
Verse 1
Twelve dots in symmetry
We each start wandering
On a different line
Chased by specters born to criticize
Pre-Chorus
We've all felt the pain (and I know)
We've all felt the pain
Chorus
They don't wanna see us win
No, they'd rather watch us burn
And the voices that scream loudest
Are the voices from within
Gotta block out all the noise
It's just another test
And all these voices
They got nothing on us
Verse 2
Twelve dots in symmetry
Picking up velocity
But always looking back
And wondering how do they compare to me?
Verse 3
Twelve dots in symmetry
Confidence strengthening
With passion in our hearts
We rebel against our poison thoughts
Pre-Chorus
We've all felt the pain (and I know)
We've all felt the pain, because
Chorus
They don't wanna see us win
No, they'd rather watch us burn
And the voices that scream loudest
Are the voices from within
Gotta block out all the noise
It's just another test
And all these voices
They got nothing on us
Bridge
Fear has us writing in white
So we don't make mistakes
We're writing in white
All over the page
We're writing in white
So we don't make mistakes
We're writing in white
There's nothing on the page
Chorus
They don't wanna see us win
No, they'd rather watch us burn
And the voices that scream loudest
Are the voices from within
Gotta block out all the noise
It's just another test
All these voices got nothing on us
They got nothing on us
Post-Chorus
We've all felt the pain
We've all felt the pain
We’ve all felt, we’ve all felt the pain
The pain, pain, pain, pain, pain (Oh)
Outro
And I know we've all felt
The pain, but come on
Don't be afraid
To make mistakes
Gotta block out all the noise
It's just another test
And all these voices
They got nothing on us
