🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

“Impurities” expresses the idea of embracing one’s darker shades and inner flaws as a source of power. Instead of hiding the scratches, shadows, and desires that shape them, the song frames these imperfections as markers of authenticity and growth. Its message centers on moving forward without fear, allowing every bruise, wish, and weakness to become part of a glittering, unfiltered self that shines more intensely because of its depth.
