Stockholm Syndrome
Erra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let your hatred grow
And she'll scream, and she'll shout, and she'll pray
And she had a name
Yeah, she had a name
And I won't hold you back
Let your anger rise
And we'll fly, and we'll fall and we'll burn
No one will recall
No one will recall
This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is
The last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
Look to the stars
Let hope burn in your eyes
And we'll love, and we'll hate and we'll die
All to no avail
All to no avail
This is the last time I'll abandon you
And this is
The last time, I'll forget you
I wish I could
This is the last time
I'll abandon you
And this is
The last time
I'll forget you
I wish I could
I wish I could
The lyrics of Erra's song "Stockholm Syndrome" depict a toxic and dysfunctional relationship. The singer acknowledges their partner's hatred and anger, allowing it to grow without intervening. The line "And she'll scream, and she'll shout, and she'll pray" suggests that the partner experiences emotional turmoil and potentially tries to seek solace through prayer. However, the mention of her having a name humanizes her and emphasizes her individuality.
The singer also expresses their own detachment, stating that they won't hold back their partner's anger. The line "And we'll fly, and we'll fall and we'll burn, No one will recall" portrays a destructive cycle in the relationship, where they experience intense highs and lows but ultimately end up being forgotten or leaving no lasting impact.
The chorus repeats the idea of abandonment and forgetting, implying a pattern of the singer repeatedly leaving and returning or neglecting their partner. The line "I wish I could" suggests a desire to break free from this cycle but feeling trapped or unable to do so.
Overall, "Stockholm Syndrome" portrays a toxic relationship where both parties contribute to the dysfunction and suffering, highlighting themes of emotional manipulation and the longing for escape.
