RED
BRAINCOATS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I never meant no harm
It seems the hate in my veins
Is flowing too fast
And it will soon reach my heart
Yeah, you don't know what I see through these eyes
And that's why I can't tell the truth
But they open up too soon
I never knew this shit was inside me
I never knew it'd do this to me
I try to pick myself up but I give up too fast
That's when I know I'm done
I'm done for
Well, I know how the story goes
You try to win but in the end you always lose
You try to tie your life into a pretty bow
But always end up tying a noose
I rolled the dice far too many times
And I'm paying the price for it now
What I wanna know is if I'm dead to you
Or if you're simply fuckin' around
I never knew this shit was inside me
(I never knew, I never knew)
I never knew it'd do this to me
(Yeah, but I did this to myself)
I try to pick myself up but I give up too fast
That's when I know I'm done
I'm done for
Wake me up when it's all over
And beat me down when I open my eyes
You see, I'm better off dead or in a coma
'Cause don't you know I'm done?
I'm done for
In the song "Red" by BRAINCOATS, the singer reflects on the mistakes he's made in life and acknowledges that he may have hurt others in the process. He talks about the hate that seems to be flowing through his veins and how he fears it will soon reach his heart. The repetition of the phrase "I never knew this shit was inside me" reveals the singer's surprise and confusion at the darker aspects of his own personality. As the song progresses, the singer becomes more despondent, revealing his feelings of hopelessness and the sense that he is consumed by his own negative emotions. He mentions being beaten down and even expresses a desire to be dead or in a coma.
The lyrics of "Red" suggest that the singer is struggling with a great deal of guilt and anger, likely stemming from past mistakes or trauma. He feels isolated from others because they can't see things through his eyes, and he believes that his own feelings are too intense to be shared. The repeated refrain of "I'm done for" reveals a sense of finality and resignation, as if the singer has given up trying to overcome his own demons.
