Less Than You
Absolute Asylum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel I have to unwind
From what I've said to you
Said in our past
And decide
If this is run alright
If I should stay here
Stay here with you
And despite
All we do is fight
Failing I wonder
How I hold on
And deception
I pay no attention
To you I wonder how she
Holds on
And it's you
Who makes me feel used
And makes me this way
How I am
And it's you
Who makes me feel used
And makes me this way
How I am
Why...
Suprised
Your leaving me behind
Killing myself
Just to keep close
And I triedHow much you've lied
Telling me wait patiently
By the phone
And despite
All we do is fight
Failing I wonder
How I hold on
And deception
I pay no attention
To you I wonder how she
Holds on
And it's you
Who makes me feel used
And makes me this way
How I am
And it's you
Who makes me feel used
And makes me this way
How I am
I'm nothing
In your eyes
And I'm nothing
In your eyes
And I'm nothing
In your eyes
And I'm nothing
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
And it's you
Who makes me feel used
And makes me this way
How I am
And it's you
Who makes me feel used
And makes me this way
How I am
I'm nothing
And I'm nothing
And I'm nothing
I'm nothing
The lyrics of Absolute Asylum's "Less Than You" portrays the inner turmoil of someone who is in a relationship that is not healthy. The singer is struggling with the idea of leaving someone he/she loves, but who also makes him/her feel used and unimportant. The first stanza shows the singer questioning whether or not he/she should stay in the relationship despite the constant fighting they encounter. The singer is trying to untangle themselves from the past, trying to discern if the relationship is worth salvaging, and if they should continue to stay and endure the unhealthy aspects of the relationship.
The second stanza emphasizes the singer's feelings of being used and taken for granted. Despite the toxic environment in the relationship, the singer is still holding on, wondering how the other person doesn't see the damage they are inflicting. The chorus questions why the singer is putting up with the current state of their relationship, which is actively causing them pain and emotional distress.
The final stanza has a more resigned tone, with the singer admitting to themselves that they mean nothing to the person they are with. They have given up their sense of self-worth and allowed the other person to make them feel like they are nothing. The repetition of "I'm nothing" suggests the singer has accepted their situation and has given up even trying to change it.
