Living
Adna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To leave my whole past.
Get new thoughts, new feelings a whole new life.
I never wanted this one.
These days neither do I see or hear.
Heavy eyes are being held up by bloody fear.
In my ears some buttons put a moderator.
Making me enable of hearing.
For now, because of echoing the war.
I didnt want this thing called living.
I never wanted this thing called living.
The nerves were drowned by tears and I.
Was standing weak at my knees.
Between concrete buildings.
Where the gravel and sorrow are filling my lungs with darkness.
Today I'm shouting my pain out.
For now, because of echoing the war.
I didnt want this thing called living.
I never wanted this thing called living.
Oh.
I need to get of my own head.
To leave my whole past.
In Adna's song "Living," the lyrics express a deep feeling of hopelessness and despair. The opening lines, "I need to get out of my own head, to leave my whole past. Get new thoughts, new feelings, a whole new life. I never wanted this one," suggest that the singer is stuck in a rut and feels trapped by their own thoughts and experiences. They are searching for a way to escape from their current situation and start anew.
The next verse, "These days neither do I see or hear," describes the disconnect that the singer feels from the world around them. They are so consumed by their own pain and fear that they are unable to fully experience the present moment. The line, "heavy eyes are being held up by bloody fear," paints a vivid picture of the weight of this burden.
The chorus, "I didn't want this thing called living," repeats the idea that the singer is unhappy with their life as it is. They feel as though they are stuck in a cycle of despair and hopelessness, and they long for something more.
The third verse, "The nerves were drowned by tears and I was standing weak at my knees between concrete buildings where the gravel and sorrow are filling my lungs with darkness," further emphasizes the bleakness of the singer's surroundings. They are surrounded by the harshness of the city and feel overwhelmed by the weight of their emotions.
Overall, the song "Living" is a powerful expression of the struggles that can come with mental illness and depression. Adna's haunting vocals and poignant lyrics make this song a powerful and emotional listen.
