Emotionless
Ashley Kutcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm not used to being alone
I'll be drunk in an hour or so
'Cause that's how I cope
I think that I'm feeling too much
Every thought leads back to us
Can only hate someone you love
And now that we're done
I wanna be emotionless
I wanna feel emotions less
You're outta my bed, so get outta my head
I, I wanna be, wanna be fine
I think that I'm losing myself
And drowning in feelings I've held
On for too long and it's hell
Can somebody help me?
I'm checking my pulse tryna slow down my breath
It's been a few weeks now and I'm still a mess
Being stuck on somebody, who doesn't even want me
Baby, set me free
I wanna be, wanna be emotionless
I wanna feel emotions less
You're outta my bed, so get outta my head
I, I wanna be, wanna be
Emotionless, I wanna feel emotions less
Emotionless, I wanna feel emotions less
Emotionless, I wanna feel emotions less
Emotionless, I, I wanna be, wanna be fine
In "Emotionless," Ashley Kutcher explores her struggles with heartbreak and the difficulties of moving on from a relationship. The first verse portrays how Ashley is struggling to come to terms with being alone, and as a result, she turns to alcohol as a coping mechanism. She acknowledges that she's feeling too much and cannot seem to get her mind off of her ex. She knows that she should put her phone down and try not to think about him, but it's much easier said than done. In the chorus, the singer resounds the song's title, expressing a desire to be numb and feel 'emotions less.'
The second verse describes how Ashley has lost her sense of self in the aftermath of the breakup. She feels like she's drowning in her emotions, and these feelings have taken a hold of her. She can't seem to shake them and is in desperate need of help to get over her ex. The final chorus emphasizes her commitment to finding a way to move on from her past relationship finally.
The song's lyrics aptly capture the feeling of heartbreak, a stage in which one gets overwhelmed with emotions and finds it difficult to cope with reality. The repeated phrase "I wanna be, wanna be emotionless" is an accurate description of the experience of feeling empty and a desire to escape those feelings. The melancholic piano melody combined with Ashley's haunting vocals makes for an emotionally charged listening experience.
