Unmade
Danger Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I write them down and I dust them off
Just some book on a shelf with a missing page
And the front torn off
I guess the words I made got in the way
And never got across
I know we don't got much to say
But I miss the days when we used to talk
I remind myself that our time got lost
Do you ever think of me? or not at all...
Hope hurts most when the truth's involved
So just know, I hope you don't
'Cause I do my best up against the wall
I don't want to float through life, I wanna drown in it
Break myself down, turn around in it
Take it until I've had enough and then build it back up
From the top to the ground again
So go ahead and say what you need to say
'Cause those words might have hurt me yesterday
And dig deep in the cuts of my chest
Just to find out that you'll never get the best of me
So dear tragedy, have a seat
I don't give a fuck what you do to me
'Cause yeah this light's going to burn out
But I can't fall, never learned how
And a light can hide when it's dark now
I told a lie when the truth would've worked out
There's nothing left for me to say
And all my friends gave me away
When every word has been unmade
You hide your eyes and fall away
If there's something left for you to say
Some twisted words, a shattered phrase
Rolls off the tongue, it falls and fades
Lied to your face, I'll never change
Am I sick of home, or just homesick?
Exhausting how I can't focus
Adjust and go, flux and flow
Smile so you don't notice
'Cause right now, now's not a good time
You don't want to know me on the inside
Shadows move fast in a blackout
Lost in a dark place, gone, but I'm back now
At the start, wasn't no one there for me
To care for me, I tiptoed carefully
And yeah, you were looking to embarrass me
But you move in the dark so carelessly
And the worst thing? I miss you bad...
I hate myself for the times we had
Tell me now what it's like to know
Once you let go you can never get it back
They say when no one believes you, believe yourself
Stare in the mirror until you see yourself
Crawl until you walk until you free yourself
And when they start lending hands you won't need the help
But I'm lost in the glare of the limelight
Scared at the thought of my old life
Phone in my hand and it's midnight
All missed calls, guess I never got the time right
The lyrics of the song "Unmade" by Danger Kids are very intriguing and thought-provoking. The song speaks about a sense of nostalgia and regret for past relationships or friendships that have been left unfulfilled. The verses express the feeling of wanting to reconnect with someone from the past and wondering if they think of you too. It talks about how hope can hurt when it's in vain and how difficult it is to move on when the truth is involved. The chorus tells us to speak our minds and say what we need to say, rather than holding it in, as the words may hurt less than the regret of not speaking them. The song is mostly about the desire to be heard, understood, and accepted.
The lyrics are reflective of the band members' personal experiences, and the general theme of the song is a feeling they have all shared at some point in their lives. They have stated that writing "Unmade" helped them cope with their emotions and that they hope the song can help others overcome similar feelings of loss and loneliness.
The song's music video uses imagery that reinforces the song's lyrical themes. It shows the band members sitting in a derelict house, surrounded by books and journals, suggesting a sense of isolation and longing. The video also includes symbolic imagery, such as shattered glass, broken mirrors, and disjointed picture frames, further emphasizing the themes of disconnection and loss.

Give me a sec to collect my thoughts
I need a moment to gather my feelings
I write them down and I dust them off
I put my thoughts on paper and clear my mind
Just some book on a shelf with a missing page
I feel incomplete and unimportant
And the front torn off
Irreparable damage seems to define me
I guess the words I made got in the way
My expression of feelings only caused further conflict
And never got across
Communication breakdown prevented healing
I know we don't got much to say
We've lost touch and have nothing more to talk about
But I miss the days when we used to talk
I long for the closeness we used to share
Waiting for change, but each day goes by
I hope for improvement, but time passes irreversibly
I remind myself that our time got lost
I regret what we had and can't get it back
Do you ever think of me? or not at all...
I wonder if you still remember me
Hope hurts most when the truth's involved
Holding onto hope can be painful when reality doesn't match up
So just know, I hope you don't
I hope you've moved on and don't feel the same pain I do
'Cause I do my best up against the wall
I'm trying my hardest despite challenges
I don't want to float through life, I wanna drown in it
I want to fully experience life and all its ups and downs
Break myself down, turn around in it
I'm willing to be vulnerable and grow from my experiences
Take it until I've had enough and then build it back up
I will keep going despite hardships and work to rebuild myself
From the top to the ground again
I'll start again from scratch if needed
So go ahead and say what you need to say
I'm ready to hear whatever you have to say, even if it hurts
'Cause those words might have hurt me yesterday
Your words may have caused pain in the past
And dig deep in the cuts of my chest
Your words can hurt even deeper than physical pain
Just to find out that you'll never get the best of me
You won't bring me down because I'm stronger than that
So dear tragedy, have a seat
I'm ready to face my hardships head-on
I don't give a fuck what you do to me
I won't let my struggles define me
'Cause yeah this light's going to burn out
Life doesn't last forever
But I can't fall, never learned how
I won't give up, even if I don't know how to keep going
And a light can hide when it's dark now
Hope can be hard to find in dark times
I told a lie when the truth would've worked out
I hid my true feelings and it only made things worse
There's nothing left for me to say
I've said all I need to say
And all my friends gave me away
I lost my friends because of my troubles
When every word has been unmade
My words and relationships have fallen apart
You hide your eyes and fall away
You don't want to face the issues between us
If there's something left for you to say
If you have something to say, say it now
Some twisted words, a shattered phrase
Your words may be hurtful or difficult to understand
Rolls off the tongue, it falls and fades
Your words may not have lasting impact
Lied to your face, I'll never change
I lied to you and I can't make things right
Am I sick of home, or just homesick?
I don't know if I miss my home or the people in it
Exhausting how I can't focus
I'm overwhelmed and unable to concentrate
Adjust and go, flux and flow
I'm dealing with changes and trying to adapt
Smile so you don't notice
I'm hiding my pain behind a facade
'Cause right now, now's not a good time
I'm going through a rough patch
You don't want to know me on the inside
There's a lot going on inside me that I can't share
Shadows move fast in a blackout
Difficult times can feel overwhelming and intense
Lost in a dark place, gone, but I'm back now
I've been through a tough time, but I'm still standing
At the start, wasn't no one there for me
I had to rely on myself at the beginning of my journey
To care for me, I tiptoed carefully
I was cautious and didn't trust easily
And yeah, you were looking to embarrass me
You wanted to humiliate me in front of others
But you move in the dark so carelessly
You hurt others without care or forethought
And the worst thing? I miss you bad...
Despite everything, I still miss you
I hate myself for the times we had
I regret my past actions and decisions
Tell me now what it's like to know
Please share your thoughts and perspective
Once you let go you can never get it back
Once something is lost, you can't regain it
They say when no one believes you, believe yourself
Sometimes you have to trust yourself when nobody else does
Stare in the mirror until you see yourself
Reflect on yourself and your identity
Crawl until you walk until you free yourself
Keep pushing forward until you find freedom and happiness
And when they start lending hands you won't need the help
With enough perseverance, you can overcome obstacles on your own
But I'm lost in the glare of the limelight
I'm overwhelmed by the attention and scrutiny of others
Scared at the thought of my old life
I'm afraid of the life I left behind
Phone in my hand and it's midnight
I'm alone with my thoughts and it's late
All missed calls, guess I never got the time right
I missed my chance to connect with others

God I wish people would STOP fucking comparing them. ><
The ONLY thing they have in common is that the rapper sounds VAGUELY similar to Mike.
Guitar work? Drumming? Clean vocals? Harsh vocals?
Hell, the lyrics (for the most part)?
NONE of it is ANYTHING like ANYTHING Linkin Park has done. ;-;
C'mon people. This is what happens in music. Bands are influenced by who they listen to.
That's the way it works.
Now please stop comparing them. ;-;
Bugs me almost as much as how every female vocalist is compared to Haley Williams.
