Painful Ignorance
Am I Blood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darkness ends where the shadows become my fate
The place where I can drown to
Fearless for the sanctuary of tears
Trapped inside of weakness
Where my sanity became part of me
And the one part of sleepless night
This night that becomes my fatal dream
Embrace of a cold kissing moment
Shivers the face of the hollow screams
The hollow screams of unseen disbelief

The picture of their peaceful unforgiving
Remains in a memory
Mindless for the sanctuary of fear
Awakening from disgrace

Where my sanity became to a part of hate
To the one part of sleepless night
This night that becomes my fatal dream

Get closer to the Painful Ignorance
Invited to escape
Into to the gage of humanity
Painful Ignorance
Come closer
Painful Ignorance
Invited to my gage

Darkness ends where the shadows become my fate
The place where I can drown to
Fearless for the sanctuary of tears

Awakening from disgrace
Where my sanity became to a part of me
To the one part of sleepless night
This night that becomes my fatal dream





Get closer...

Overall Meaning

In Am I Blood's song "Painful Ignorance," the lyrics speak to the experience of being trapped inside of one's own weaknesses and the struggle to escape them. The singer finds themself in a dark place, where the shadows become their fate and they are able to drown themselves. They seek refuge in tears, hoping to find sanctuary, but instead become trapped in their own mind. The weight of this experience manifests itself in their dreams, which become fatal nightmares.


The image of a cold and fleeting moment that shivers their face is a representation of a moment of realization that causes them to scream out in disbelief. The singer is haunted by the memory of unforgiving people in their past who remain present in their mind, despite their attempts to forget them. The singer struggles to find solace in the midst of their fear, but instead feels the crushing weight of their own hate.


Throughout the song, the singer seems to be inviting the listener to join them in their pain and misery. They ask the listener to get closer to the painful ignorance that plagues them, and even invite them to join them in their figurative "gage" or prison. Despite the darkness of the lyrics, there is a sense of solidarity and connection that one can take away from the song.

idk about you, but I think that the singer sounds in between ...And Justice For All era Metallica and Bullet For My Valintine, the band sounds more modern than most metallica.
