Humanity
D.S.B. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep in all my mind I'm in a cage
Even when I feel so ever safe
Leaking down my spine is an everglade
Close, but your cigar lies in a grave
Mankind's on a landslide, can't run away
Music's no pass time
It's a hiding place
Don't know where to go
Don't know what to do with my life, no
Don't know where to go
Don't know where to run away
Don't know who to see
Everyone's so toxic lately
Maybe it's all me
Or, maybe we're slowly
Losing humanity
Losing our humanity
I'm losing humanity
Losing my humanity
Don't know who to be
Don't know when to say wait
Want to be a hero,
But I barely stay awake
All my energy is dead
All my inner me has said
Is, "Get through this time
Forgive yourself, and cope with it"
Don't know where to go
Don't know what to do with my life, no
Don't know where to go
Don't know where to run away
Don't know who to see
Everyone's so toxic lately
Maybe it's all me
Or, maybe we're slowly
Losing humanity
Losing our humanity
I'm losing humanity
Losing my humanity

Overall Meaning

In this song, D.S.B. expresses their feelings of being trapped and lost in the chaotic world we live in today. The first few lines show how they feel confined within their own mind, even when they feel safe. The line "leaking down my spine is an everglade" adds to the imagery of feeling overwhelmed and bogged down by negative emotions. The next line "Close, but your cigar lies in a grave" could be interpreted as a play on the phrase "close, but no cigar" meaning almost getting something but not quite achieving it. It adds to the feeling of hopelessness and lack of direction.


The chorus is a repetition of the lines "Don't know where to go, don't know what to do with my life, no, don't know where to run away, don't know who to see, everyone's so toxic lately, maybe it's all me, or maybe we're slowly losing humanity". This ties in with the theme of feeling lost and overwhelmed in the world today. The line "everyone's so toxic lately" speaks to the negativity and hostility that seems to be ever-present in society. The line "maybe it's all me" suggests a feeling of self-doubt and reflection, wondering if they are the problem and contributing to the losing of humanity. Overall, the song portrays the struggle of finding one's place in a world that seems to be losing its humanity.

Cold beyond the frost
Numb yet still in pain
Alone i pay the cost
Of hatred so vain

Outside looking in
Reflecting the skin
Mirrors with no kin
Purgatory, drowning in sin

A heart unwanted
Is all im left with in the end
A face for the faceless
To mask an abyss

Yesterday was my birthday. 36 years old. It's one of those events that you don't really like, that you prefer to spend alone (maybe out of fear of being disappointed). Some people who are very important to me didn't remember it was my birthday. I told myself it was okay, that it's not such an important date, that I'm old enough to understand these things... Anyway, I did feel a bit hurt, but it will pass. Today, I'm here enjoying some music, sipping on my white tea. Enjoying life the way I like it. I hope all of you enjoy your lives. Listening to depressive music doesn't mean you're giving up on life; it's just a way of dealing with it, of facing it. ENJOY YOUR LIFE, even if you think it's not worth it.
