Contagion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear the screams deep inside you
If I hide, I know you can find me
To take away my fear and my dreams
In the deepness you come to me
You can feel the loss deep inside me
Tie my hands and take away My fears and leave me blind
In the distance I come to you
I can take the pain deep inside you
Pull apart the flesh and soul
To share your blood and agony
Take away this flame
Share this little pain
Come into my eyes
Share my little lies
Come to me
This reality
I see you
Inside me
One of the Chosen
One of the few
It's what's inside of me
It's what's inside of you
In the darkness you come to me
I can feel the pain deep inside you
If you hide I know I can come
To take away your precious tears
Take away this flame
Share this little pain
Come into my eyes
Share my little lies
The lyrics of Contagion's song One of the Chosen describe a relationship between two individuals who share a deep connection through their pain and suffering. In the darkness, they come to each other to seek solace and comfort. The lyrics suggest that the two people are bound together by a shared sense of loss and fear that they cannot escape. The act of tying each other's hands symbolizes their mutual trust and submission to one another, and the sharing of blood represents their deep emotional bond. The repetition of the phrase "Take away this flame, share this little pain" emphasizes the idea that the two people are willing to share their pain in order to lessen it.
The chorus of the song, "One of the chosen, one of the few, it's what's inside of me, it's what's inside of you", suggests that the connection between the two individuals is rare and special, as if they have been chosen to understand each other's pain. The lyrics suggest that the two people are willing to face their pain and suffering together, and that this connection is what gives them strength and purpose.
Overall, the song conveys a powerful message about the healing power of empathy and human connection. The lyrics suggest that we all carry pain inside of us, but that by coming together and sharing our pain, we can find solace and strength in one another.
