Detached
Spineshank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or do you still conceive?
What do you believe?
See what you do to me
You feed off my mind, well then you break my ability
To maintain a 20/20 vision on life
So why not let the pain go...
Detached, crawl inside my head
Open up my mind is all they told me
Detached, and I don't relate to your fantasy
But I'm detached
What do you want from me?
There's nothing left to bleed
What do you want from me?
See what you do to me
You feed off my mind, well then you break my ability
To maintain a 20/20 vision on life
So why not let the pain go...
Detached, crawl inside my head
Open up my mind is all they told me
Detached, and I don't relate to your fantasy
But I'm detached
Away, there's no shame
I can't stop the bleeding
Fall - who killed the lights on me?
Fall - that's how it has to be
Fall - someday you'll come to see
Fall
Don't let it rain, don't let it rain...
Detached, crawl inside my head
Open up my mind is all they told me
Detached, and I don't relate to your fantasy
But I'm detached
Don't you let it rain...
The lyrics to Spineshank's song "Detached" deal with the concept of feeling disconnected from the world around you, and the people in it. The repeated questions "What do you believe? Or do you still conceive? What do you believe?" highlight a sense of confusion and questioning that leads to a disassociation from reality. The lyrics touch on the idea that another person can have a strong influence on one's mental state, and the singer of the song feels like they are being drained by someone. This person is causing them to lose their sense of vision, their ability to see the world clearly. The chorus of "Detached" repeats the idea of the singer feeling like they are separate from the people around them. They cannot relate to the fantasies or illusions of those they come into contact with. The repetition of "Don't let it rain" at the end of the track could potentially mean that the singer is begging for some reprieve from the negative influences they feel are around them, a plea to not let life's difficulties bring them down.
In summary, "Detached" is a song that explores themes of dispassion and disconnection, and the ways in which others can influence one's mental state. The lyrics suggest that it is important to try to maintain a clear view of the world, and to fight against negative influences that may try to pull you away from reality.
