Chicosci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick at my own wounds for once
Solitary, I look to see
And then I ask myself, "what is there for me?"
Only a simple scene
Leave me be
Stop calling out my name
So what am I to do? I disappear
And I retreat into the singing shadows, serenity
This moment is mine all alone
They all give one solid argument
Of holding hands
You speak of islands, won't you see?
All I want to hear is the violent wish of silence
Please don't complicate this, just consume it
Walk away, take it all,
'Til I lock all things out, before I kill everything
This life needs no one else
The lyrics to Chicosci's song "An Argument" delve into a sense of isolation and detachment from others. The opening lines speak of the singer's desire to be left alone and to be able to tend to their own wounds in solitude. They express a deep-seated need to understand themselves and their place in the world. However, the following lines show a struggle with this isolation, as the singer acknowledges that they do not know who they are or what they want. They retreat into the shadows, seeking serenity, but at the same time, yearning for a sense of purpose or direction.
The chorus then describes the push and pull of societal expectations and personal desires. The singer notes that those around them give a "solid argument" for holding hands, for connection and intimacy, but they themselves only want the "violent wish of silence." They are overwhelmed by the complexity of human relationships and seek to simplify things by shutting everything out. The final line, "This life needs no one else," suggests a sense of futility and resignation, a feeling of being unable to find meaning or purpose in human connection.

Leave me here
I want to be left alone and spend time with myself
Pick at my own wounds for once
I need to confront my own issues and heal myself
Solitary, I look to see
Being alone, I reflect on my life and surroundings
And then I ask myself, "what is there for me?"
I question my purpose and what I want from life
Only a simple scene
I desire a simple and peaceful life
Leave me be
I want you to stop bothering me and leave me alone
Stop calling out my name
I don't want to be involved with you or anyone else
I know not who you are
I am not interested in knowing you or anyone else
So what am I to do? I disappear
I don't know what to do with you or myself, so I choose to disappear
And I retreat into the singing shadows, serenity
I find peace in being alone and in the silence of the shadows
This moment is mine all alone
I want to enjoy this moment by myself and not share it with anyone else
They all give one solid argument
Everyone else has an opinion and argument about life
Of holding hands
They believe in love and connection through holding hands
You speak of islands, won't you see?
You talk about fantasy and not reality
All I want to hear is the violent wish of silence
I prefer silence over the noise of others and their opinions
Please don't complicate this, just consume it
Don't make it difficult, enjoy this moment as it is
Walk away, take it all,
Leave me and take everything else with you
'Til I lock all things out, before I kill everything
I will isolate myself from others and shut everything else out to preserve my own sanity
This life needs no one else
I believe that I can live my life without the need for anyone else
