Pain
Contagion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take this silent pain
Feel me through your brain
Leave me alive
Feel me inside

And if I should die
All I leave are lies
Your believing eyes

So many useless lives

All there is
Is all I know
Worship me
Give me your soul

Release to me

Release your pain
Rip apart your shame
Tear away your eyes
So I leave you blind

What you want from me
Is what rape from you
Take away your eyes
So I can lead your blind

Hold inside your fears
Hide behind their tears
Sacrifice deny
Never even question why

Give me your children
Bring me your poor

Sacrifice to me
And I endure

All there is
Is all I hold
Pray for me
Give me control

All there is
Is all I hold
Release to me
Release your soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Contagion's song Pain can be interpreted in a variety of ways. At its core, the song appears to be exploring the struggle of being consumed by pain and searching for a way to release it. The lines "Take this silent pain, feel me through your brain, leave me alive, feel me inside" suggest that the singer is asking the listener to empathize with their silent suffering and to let it take hold within them. The use of the word "alive" could suggest that the pain is a manifestation of something that is keeping the singer going, like a driving force.

The following lines, "And if I should die, all I leave are lies, your believing eyes, so many useless lives," suggest a sense of desperation and despair. The singer has potentially been carrying this pain for so long that it has become their identity, and if they were to die, they would leave behind nothing but falsehoods. The use of the phrase "so many useless lives" suggests that the singer feels like their own life and the lives of those around them are ultimately futile.

The final lines of the song, "Release to me, release your soul," suggest that there may be a way to free oneself from the pain that is consuming them, but it requires a sacrifice, a letting go of something essential to oneself. The use of the word "soul" indicates that the sacrifice required is likely something profound and deeply ingrained within the individual.

Line by Line Meaning

Take this silent pain
Accept the pain that normally goes unexpressed

Feel me through your brain
Perceive my message intellectually

Leave me alive
Don't let this pain die out

Feel me inside
Perceive my message emotionally

And if I should die
Even if I pass away

All I leave are lies
All I give are falsehoods

Your believing eyes
Your trusting perspective

So many useless lives
There are lots of unproductive existences

All there is
Everything I have

Is all I know
Is the sum total of my knowledge

Worship me
Adore me

Give me your soul
Give me your essence

Release to me
Free me

Release your pain
Let go of your suffering

Rip apart your shame
Destroy your embarrassment

Tear away your eyes
Eliminate your sight

So I leave you blind
So I control you completely

What you want from me
What you desire of me

Is what rape from you
Is what I forcefully take from you

Take away your eyes
Eliminate your sight

So I can lead your blind
So I control you completely

Hold inside your fears
Keep your worries concealed

Hide behind their tears
Cover up with weeping

Sacrifice deny
Refuse to offer things up

Never even question why
Never even ask why

Give me your children
Surrender your offspring to me

Bring me your poor
Give me your weak

Sacrifice to me
Offer things up to me

And I endure
And I persist

All there is
Everything I have

Is all I hold
Is the sum total of what I control

Pray for me
Worship me with a pleas for help

Give me control
Surrender power to me

Release to me
Free me

Release your soul
Let go of your essence

seems like a problem that your boss has to deal with, not you. you're only staying home as long as you feel too bad to work, any more than that is up to your boss, if he wants to risk you infecting other workers. and it's also his responsibility to get replacement for you. just inform him about what's up and go from there, everything else literally isnt your problem anymore.

Great video! However it assumes that people have the opportunity to stay home from work. It would be great to add that if you do have to go to work, it helps a lot if the sick person wears a mask. Mask-wearing by the sick person is much more effective in preventing the spread of germs than healthy people wearing one.

i got the flu after going to the mall symptoms started later that night when my friend was over and she ended up leaving. next few days was a living hell i was always dizzy, coughing, and throwing up. as of today it will be my 9th day with the flu and nothing is really helping with my throwing up issue. every time i eat or take my medicine i end up throwing it up. the doctor thought i was allergic to the medicine so they gave me pills instead which worked out the first 4 days of having it, but now every time i have it i end up throwing it back up. i am being taken to the doctor’s again today to see what the problem is, honestly just think it’s because of the flu but i will update later once i get back from the appointment.

@skunkbear

7y↑3

Hey Oli2.01, Maddie here! It's possible that your immune system is stellar, and that you simply fight off the virus before a full blown infection takes place. It's probably more likely that you are one of the many asymptomatic carriers, which means you have the flu, but don't have symptoms! Here's some more info: http://www.upmc-cbn.org/report_archive/2005/cbnreport_103105.html

@AdventuresinBackpacking

I didn't get the flu until I was 30, and I got it again this year, at age 37. You could have one of those genetic markers that makes you less susceptible to the flu, or you could have just been lucky up to this point.

You'll know when you have the flu. There's no mistaking it. Suddenly, out of nowhere, your body aches all over and in random patterns, you skull feels like it's being literally crushed in by a hammer from all sides, you get a fever that goes up and down in a wonky like manner, your fever becomes extremely high (normal high, but high), and you feel completely weak. It's nothing like a cold. Not even the worst cold compares to what the flu is.

Hi Pam H! Maddie here. The timeline is pretty similar for the common cold. As for which one
you have... normally, adults don't get a fever with a cold but do with the flu. Also, the cold takes a while to ramp up, so you feel kind of crummy in the beginning and then steadily worse. The flu hits hard right away. Hope that helps!
