Song Meaning of “Major Axis” by Polar Inertia
A long felt battle over control in a feeling of internal panic lies at the root of ‘Major Axis’ by Polar Inertia. It speaks to a powerful pull towards a perceived freedom, but also to the fear of following those urges. Instead of allowing our emotions to take over, the protagonist endures and holds back the urge to break away. The track draws its momentum from a subtly increasing intensity, manifested through a mix of soaring synths, evolving into a chorus of uncertainty and challenge.
The lyrics serve to explore the tension between freedom and constraint, between hope and fear. Knowing that ‘it takes all that I’ve got to stay against the stream’ speaks to a relentless inner struggle of wanting to break free from a life that no longer serves you but stays in fear of doing so.
It can be seen as a call to take risks, to bravely step away from a comfort zone and explore new possibilities. It’s a challenge to embrace change, to not let our doubts stop us from living our dreams. ‘Major Axis’ is an anthem and a warning of not letting fear conquer our ambitions and to live life on our terms.
