Whisper
All That Remains Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the sun that set cause only pain
Violence in words like slashes wound deeply
Love is not when you feel only pain
Her touch poison flows through my veins
No more I denounce all your childish games
Whispers (I hear you)
Poison (flows in me)
Lost inside of you, I'm not free of you
Break my bonds again
Love lost arrogant whore paint strife on this canvas
Failure I am a fool I should have seen
Whispers poison break my bonds again
Love lost failure I should have seen
[Chorus]
It may seem at last day passing mean nothing
But the sun that set cause only pain
Violence in words like slashes wound deeply
Love is not when you feel only pain
No more regrets
Face my fear alone
The song "Whisper" by All That Remains talks about a toxic relationship that has left the singer feeling trapped and broken. The first stanza talks about how the passing of days doesn't mean anything when it's filled with pain caused by the setting sun. The violence in words is compared to slashes that wound deeply, and even though the person is supposed to feel love, they only feel pain. The second verse talks about how the touch of the other person is like poison that flows through their veins, but eventually, the singer refuses to play the other person's childish games anymore.
The chorus repeats the two lines "Whispers (I hear you)" and "Poison (flows in me)" which represents the troubled relationship that the singer can't seem to escape from. The second line of the chorus "Lost inside of you, I'm not free of you" shows how the toxic relationship has left the singer feeling trapped and unable to move on. The phrase "break my bonds again" is repeated, which tells the story of how the singer has been trying to break away from the other person's hold, but keeps getting pulled back into the relationship.
The bridge talks about how love can lead to arrogance and how failed relationships can leave a person feeling like a fool. The phrase "whispers poison break my bonds again" is repeated, showing how the singer is still trying to break free from the relationship. The last repetition of the chorus brings the song to a close, emphasising the fact that the singer is still trapped in the same situation.
