“ I'm trapped and we can't get along; I thought that I was strong; We are so unstable. ”
The lyrics depict a lack of communication and a sense of madness from his relationship. They are also known for being catchier than some of Adema's earlier attempts, and also featuring less profanity, resulting in the songs high airplay, which helped boost the album's sales.
Unstable
Adema Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I needed the chance, to stitch up my scars
I'm closer to you, than I was in the start
Come dive right in, and tear me apart
I'm trapped
And we can't get along
I thought that I was strong
And me, I'm strung out from your touch
But I won't give you up
We are so unstable
I wanted to learn, about the dark side of you
You bring me down, like a bottle of pills
I hate the way that you're making me feel
I keep coming back, I never get here
I'm trapped
And we can't get along
I thought that I was strong
We are so unstable
And me, I'm strung out from your touch
But I won't give you up
We are so unstable
We're so unstable
We're so unstable
We're so unstable
We're so unstable
I'm trapped
And we can't get along
I thought that I was strong
We are so unstable
And me, I'm strung out from your touch
But I won't give you up
We are so unstable
I'm trapped
And we can't get along
I thought I was strong
We are so unstable
And me, I'm strung out from your touch
But I won't give you up
We are so unstable
You're so unstable
You're so unstable
You're so unstable
We're so unstable
In Adema's song "Unstable," the singer sings about being involved in an unhealthy and unstable relationship. The singer is stuck in a cycle of pain and confusion due to their partner's emotional manipulation. They want to know who their partner "really" is and understand the darker parts of their personality. They feel trapped but also addicted to the feeling of being near this person, even though it causes them harm. The chorus repeats the phrase "We are so unstable" as a recognition of the precariousness of their situation.
The lyrics also suggest a sense of self-awareness and reflection as the singer notes that they thought they were strong but now feel trapped. The repeated use of the word "unstable" emphasizes the volatility of the relationship, suggesting that it could fall apart at any moment. The singer's desire to "dive right in" and their acknowledgement that they "keep coming back" suggests that they are a willing participant in this dysfunction.

I swear this song has so much more meaning in my 30s than as a teenager. I get experience will always play a part, but some songs go from just being cool to actually being meaningful.
Linda Ramirez
This band maybe didn't has too much popularity, but its songs are a great expression of Nu-Metal.
