Cannot Feel
Am I Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The heart is sinking
I live my days by hearing your dreams
And will to pain
No waiting until the dawn
Your bleeding empty soul
The real lies of friendly mind
Can't touch your face
I came in peace but I leave this
Place with war inside of me
So come and realize
Look through my mind and see
I can feel the fuckin' things
That burn inside of me
Cannot feel I'm freezin' more
The hate of dream with ultimate scream
To get my pride back
I have a lust for deadly deed
Curious to find me
The lyrics of Am I Blood's song "Cannot Feel" depicts the struggle of an individual who is deeply connected to another individual's pain and suffering. The first few lines, "You feel the hunger for terminal beat, The heart is sinking, I live my days by hearing your dreams, And will to pain" portrays the singer's understanding of the other individual's internal struggle. Despite their understanding of the other person's pain, they cannot do much to alleviate their pain, so they continue living their lives by hearing that person's dreams and their will to endure the pain.
The lines, "The real lies of friendly mind, Can't touch your face, I came in peace but I leave this, Place with war inside of me," suggests that despite the singer's friendly disposition and desire to help, they are unable to truly connect with the other person, leaving them with a sense of internal turmoil. The individual unable to understand the other's pain further highlights their feelings of isolation despite being surrounded by people who care and want to help.
The chorus, "So come and realize, Look through my mind and see, I can feel the fuckin' things, That burn inside of me, Cannot feel I'm freezin' more," highlights the singer's desire for the other person to understand their own pain that they have to endure. It further illustrates that despite being connected to the other person's suffering, they are also going through their pain, which is slowly suffocating them.
