Underlined
Crossbreed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cutting off all the ends you steal signs of forward progress still wrapped
tight inside and sealed free me from this madness and ill never look back to
heal silence in your sleep and people they are weak I'm cutting all
connections that led you two to speak
death is a disease and people they believe almost out of time i said your
underlined
practicing the silence underlined from all your pain slowly slipping backwards
calling out gods name in vain signs of forward progress chanting that you're
almost free you whispered to me and told me that your life wasn't me
another day and another weak which type of death is a disease your so damn
blind and so am i your underlined turn away.....
The lyrics of Crossbreed's song Underlined are very contemplative and speak about the practice of silence in order to gain a sense of clarity amid the chaos of everyday life. The first verse describes the act of silencing oneself and "cutting off all the ends you steal" to isolate oneself from the noise and violence of the surrounding world. This is followed by the observation that "people they are weak," and the singer's determination to sever all connections that led to their involvement in such weakness.
The second verse further explores the theme of death and disease, with the singer acknowledging that many people believe in death as a disease, and that they themselves are "almost out of time." The repeated phrase "your underlined" seems to refer to the pressure or expectation placed on individuals by society or the media to conform or achieve certain goals, leading to a sense of being "under the line" or unable to measure up. The song concludes with a call to turn away from this pressure and find a sense of freedom.
Overall, the lyrics of Underlined can be seen as a reflection on the struggle to maintain individuality and mental health in a world that can be overwhelming and oppressive. The act of practicing silence and disconnecting from toxic influences may provide some relief, but ultimately the singer seems to be grappling with the fear of mortality and the pressure to conform.
