Limit
Adna Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fall and die
I'm dying all the time
Then no longer I fall
I'm lying on the ground
Hating all there is
Aaaaaah, aah

Somtimes I think I cannot think anymore

Cause the thinking, will one day, take me from this world
Sometimes I say
I'm hating all there is
When there's hate I've painted
My whole world

Dreams are all I have
They make me want to stay
'Cause they bring me close to you
Sometimes I feel your smile too I want to sleep true tomorrow
Yeah, I haven't slept all day
I want to sleep true tomorrow
I cannot take your breath away

I want to sleep true tomorrow
Cannot take your breath away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Adna's song "Limit" speak to the experience of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, both physically and emotionally. The line "I fall and die, I'm dying all the time" suggests a sense of hopelessness and despair, while the following lines "Then no longer I fall, I'm lying on the ground" suggest a kind of resignation to this state of being. The refrain "Hating all there is" emphasizes the intensity of these feelings, and the vocalization that follows adds to the overall sense of despair.

The second stanza of the song delves deeper into the source of this despair, with lines like "Cause the thinking, will one day, take me from this world" and "When there's hate I've painted, my whole world." Here, we see the singer grappling with their own thoughts and feelings, struggling to find a way to cope with the negativity that seems to surround them.

The final stanza brings a glimmer of hope, as the singer describes the power of their dreams to keep them going. "Dreams are all I have, they make me want to stay," they say, and the lines "I feel your smile too, I want to sleep true tomorrow" suggest a connection to someone they care for deeply. Still, even in this moment of hope, there is a sense of fragility and uncertainty, as the singer acknowledges that they "cannot take your breath away."

Overall, "Limit" is a poignant exploration of what it feels like to struggle with depression and despair, and the sometimes tenuous nature of hope and connection.
