With their latest release "Tarassis", dEMOTIONAL has proven themselves as a solid six-man-army worthy that place. dEMOTIONAL has become notorious for their energetic live shows and their way of combining modern guitar riffs and the two singers vocals. "Tarassis" is recorded, mixed & produced at Studio PH" by Pontus Hjelm (Dead By April), and it is the product of a young metalband that are experimenting with different genres and tempos, though at the same time keeping their distinctive sound that made them so popular. Just like the album "State: In Denial", the new album "Tarassis" went straight in to the national album chart. After spending a big amount of their time in 2014 writing new material and recording the new album, 2015 dEMOTIONAL successfully headed out as main support to Dead By April on "The Stronger Tour all over Europe.

I Tried
Demotional Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been a punching bag for too long.
It´s time to settle the score!
You need to hear this, this time it´s real.
It´s time you know just what I feel.
You had the voice of angels, a smile divine.
You were the fire, in which I burned.
I was devoured, but then you turned.
Blinded by love I didn't see the shit that you did too me
The feelings that I had for you tried to conquer sanity
What´s going on, how could this be?
I just don´t know what to believe!
I try to change you to the way you were!
Feels like I don´t even know you, where´s the girl I used to know?
Even with you I feel so alone.
The times we had, the times we shared, how can you be so cold?
I can take much but this shit is getting old!
And I feel you already left me, and I've been living in a lie.
Can´t you see there´s nothing left here, though I tried
The sacrifice I did for you, and you just split my heart in two.
Must realize even though it hurt,
that you have gone from god to dirt.
This is what I need, I must be free, cause you are slowly killing me
I won´t be there for you anymore!
I blame my self, It´s my own fault that things have gone this far
When I look at you I don´t know who you are
Things will never be the same as they were before
This is my goodbye!
I can´t take it no more!
And I feel you already left me, and I've been living in a lie.
Can´t you see there´s nothing left here, though I tried
The lyrics to Demotional's "I Tried" seem to be about a relationship that has become toxic and emotionally abusive. The singer is reflecting on the pain that they have endured in the relationship and has finally reached their breaking point. They no longer have the patience to put up with the mistreatment and are ready to take action to end things once and for all. The song is a powerful message about the importance of setting boundaries and knowing when to walk away from a situation that is no longer healthy for you.
The opening lines of the song express the frustration and weariness that the singer feels from being put down for a prolonged period of time. They have had enough and are ready to stand up for themselves. The chorus reinforces this resolve to speak up and make a change - they want their partner to truly hear what they're saying and understand the depth of their pain. The second verse explores the memories the singer has of the time when the relationship was good, when there was love and tenderness between them. The juxtaposition of these memories with the current state of the relationship highlights the pain of losing what once was and the hopelessness of trying to get things back to the way they were.
The pre-chorus is particularly interesting as it portrays the singer as someone who is somewhat deluded or blinded by their love for their partner. They acknowledge that their feelings for their partner tried to conquer their sanity, suggesting that they may have dismissed or ignored warning signs that things were not healthy. It's a reminder that love does not always equal happiness or a solution to emotional problems. Overall, "I Tried" is a poignant and relatable song about the complexities of relationships and the importance of recognizing when it's time to move on.
