Ignorance Is Bliss
Beartooth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fix my diseases
I'm tied down to my bed
Wanna get out but I can't commit
Dead spirit dead spirit
Lethargic lethargic
Wake me up get me out
Shake me
shake me till my neck breaks
Hit me
Put your fist in my chest
Give me
CPR before I'm dead
Pick up the pieces
Fix my diseases
Staring at the ground while I'm walking lately
Haven't seen the sun in a week and it's killing me
Depression has its grip trying to keep me sick
Medicated but still not thinking freely
I haven't eaten in a week and it's killing me
There's a darkness in my soul but I will never be controlled
Ignorance is bliss isn't it
When your house is empty
They moved out they moved on
But you don't even notice
Cause you're busy being dead in your room
Wake me
Wake me up get me out
Shake me
shake me till my neck breaks
Hit me
Put your fist in my chest
Give me
CPR before I'm dead
Pick up the pieces
Fix my diseases
Staring at the ground while I'm walking lately
Haven't seen the sun in a week and it's killing me
Depression has its grip trying to keep me sick
Medicated but still not thinking freely
I haven't eaten in a week and it's killing me
There's a darkness in my soul but I will never be controlled
I'm not
I'm not one of your demons
Ignorance is bliss isn't it
The lyrics of Beartooth's "Ignorance Is Bliss" song portray a feeling of being stuck in a rut and unable to break free from it. The lines, "I'm tied down to my bed, wanna get out but I can't commit", describe a sense of being physically and mentally trapped. The repetition of "dead spirit" and "lethargic" express a feeling of being emotionally drained and hopeless. The lyrics also delve into the mental illness and depression that has taken hold, as shown by lines like "Depression has its grip trying to keep me sick".
The chorus of the song, with the repeated lines "Wake me up get me out" and "Pick up the pieces, fix my diseases", reflects the desire to break free from the feelings of helplessness and despair. The final line, "Ignorance is bliss isn't it", could be interpreted in two different ways. It could mean that the only way to cope with such overwhelming feelings is to ignore them and pretend that everything is okay. Alternatively, it could mean that in not facing these issues, one is allowing themselves to remain in a state of ignorance.
Overall, the lyrics of "Ignorance Is Bliss" paint a picture of the struggles of dealing with mental health issues and the desire to break free from them.

+Dubois Kenty Thanks.
Most of my depression comes from all the bullshit and anxiety i have.
One of my friends is flirting with my girlfriend. I feel powerless because i cant do anything about it. I want to know everything is gonna be okay but it never is. I would take a bullet for this girl, but this guy is telling her to break up with me and kick me to the curb. People tell me to not let it get to me, but its getting out of hand. I cant control my emotions and depression is really bringing me down.
I was hoping to have a long, great relationship with her. I love her but, all the bullshit is too much. Ive been having lots of suicidal thoughts lately and i wanted to end it all. This girl is all i have left and if i lose her i will have nothing.
My life is meaningless without her.
I just want the bullshit to end....

"Your house is empty, they moved out, they moved on, but you didn't notice cause you were busy being dead in your room."
God damn that hits hard.

I don't know how they do it man. No song is bad, all of them are unique in a way. And they don't abuse drugs and have good motives. Shomo and Beartooth are killing it.

im a generally calm and happy guy, if quiet, but occasionally i have some serious breakdowns for seemingly no reason, although there is a lot of pent up aggression behind it. beartooth has become my band of choice for these breakdowns.

There literally has not been a bad song so far. That is unreal. Record of the year for me if this keeps up.
