Mindless
Daysend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I forget it's meaningless
So swallow your crooked words
It's pointless, pointless
Suffocate, within the eye of chaos
Hold the words
Up against the ropes again
Seething, screaming, unconscious gaze
Despair, a burning rage through my eyes
Fury and hate, it's draining
Medicate, welcome the burning embrace
All the while your mind is slipping
Into morbid anguish
Fucking whore, behind a secret door
Fade away and when the consciousness appears
Your world will crumble into oblivion
Save yourself
Save your mind
Save the dying embrace
For there's nothing that you've left behind
Suffocate, within the eye of chaos
Close your eyes
The vision here will make you blind
Medicate, welcome the burning embrace
Hold the words, your mind is slipping once again
You fucking little piece of shit
The lyrics of Daysend's song Mindless seem to be an expression of disillusionment and anger. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that the world around them is dying and that this realization has led them to view their existence as meaningless. They then address someone who they feel is not being sincere with them, asking them to stop speaking falsely or "swallow [their] crooked words." The second verse begins with the lines "Suffocate, within the eye of chaos/Hold the words..." which convey a sense of being trapped and besieged by conflicting emotions or circumstances. The singer then directs their rage at someone, calling them a "fucking little piece of shit" and expressing a desire for them to suffer. The third verse is marked by a shift in tone, as the singer seems to allude to taking drugs to cope with their negative feelings. The lines "Welcome the burning embrace/All the while your mind is slipping/Into morbid anguish" suggest that this is not a healthy or sustainable coping mechanism. The song ends with a repeated call to "Save yourself/Save your mind/Save the dying embrace/For there's nothing that you've left behind," which could be interpreted as an ultimatum or a warning.
Line by Line Meaning
Welcome to this dying dream
I'm acknowledging that we're living in a world that's dying and coming to an end
I forget it's meaningless
But sometimes I forget that all of this has no real purpose or significance
So swallow your crooked words
Don't bother trying to convince me of anything with your deceitful and dishonest language
It's pointless, pointless
Because it's all meaningless anyway
Suffocate, within the eye of chaos
I feel trapped and overwhelmed by the disorder and confusion around me, like I'm suffocating
Hold the words
I'm trying to keep control and not let words or emotions get the best of me
Up against the ropes again
But I feel like I'm being pushed to my limits and forced into a corner once again
You fucking little piece of shit
And I'm angry at anyone who tries to take advantage of me or hold me down
Seething, screaming, unconscious gaze
I'm filled with rage and pain, even though I might not be fully aware of it myself
Despair, a burning rage through my eyes
I feel hopeless and helpless, but also furious at the same time
Fury and hate, it's draining
All this anger and hatred is exhausting and taking a toll on me
Medicate, welcome the burning embrace
So I turn to something that gives me comfort, even though it might also be harmful or dangerous
All the while your mind is slipping
But in doing so, I'm also losing touch with reality and myself
Into morbid anguish
And sinking deeper into a dark and painful mental state
Fucking whore, behind a secret door
I feel betrayed and disgusted by someone who's hiding their true nature or intentions
Fade away and when the consciousness appears
And when they're finally exposed, everything I thought I knew or believed will collapse and disappear
Your world will crumble into oblivion
Leaving me with nothing but emptiness and despair
Save yourself
So I'm calling on myself, and maybe others, to take action and do something before it's too late
Save your mind
To protect our sanity and mental well-being
Save the dying embrace
And to hold onto whatever little hope or love we have left
For there's nothing that you've left behind
Because in the end, nothing we do or accomplish really matters or lasts
Close your eyes
So I'm shutting out the chaos and noise of the world, trying to find some inner peace and clarity
The vision here will make you blind
Because if we keep focusing on the surface and external things, we'll keep ignoring the true reality and meaning of life
