Therapy
Axium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one to console me here
As I sit amidst the wind
My eyes deceive me
Not even I believe me
And my thoughts are on the mend
The sun plays tricks on my eyes
Put on my face to fool you all
But I don't have that far left to fall
It's therapy for me
To wear my heart on my sleeve
It's therapy for me
It's therapy for me
But you can't see this
And you've never been this
Question everything you are
I come back stronger
Can't help but remember
That it's easy when it's done being hard
The sun plays tricks on my eyes
Trying now to make my way through all the empty lies
Put on my face to fool you all
But I don't have that far left to fall
It's therapy for me, yeah
To wear my heart on my sleeve, yeah
It's therapy for me, yeah
It's therapy for me, yeah
Come back stronger
Can't help but remember
That it's easy when it's done being hard
The song "Therapy" by Axium seems to express the vulnerability and emotional struggle of an individual who is undergoing some form of therapy. The singer initially expresses feelings of loneliness and despair, possibly indicating a difficult period in their lives that has led them to seek therapy. The line "My eyes deceive me, not even I believe me" suggests that the singer may be experiencing a sense of disconnection from themselves and perhaps struggling to trust their own thoughts and feelings.
As the song progresses, the singer appears to find some solace in wearing their heart on their sleeve as a form of therapeutic release. The repeated chorus of "It's therapy for me" emphasizes the importance of this emotional expression in the singer's healing process. The line "But you can't see this, and you've never been this" may suggest that others cannot fully understand the singer's experience or the pain that has led them to therapy.
The overall theme of the song seems to center around the power of emotional vulnerability and finding strength through difficult times. It represents the importance of seeking help from others and allowing oneself to express vulnerability as a means of finding healing and growth.
