Sympathy
Die Monster Die Lyrics

The lyrics to Die Monster Die's song "Sympathy" are about the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is struggling to come to terms with his feelings for his former partner. He admits that he doesn't know if he could see her again, perhaps because he is still mourning the loss of what they had. He describes the relationship as a "coat of illusion," suggesting that it was not based on reality or mutual understanding. The metaphor of a "coffin lined with fur" underscores the idea that this relationship was deceptive and even dangerous.

The singer's feelings of confusion and disorientation are reflected in the lines "there's no reason to begin, in this twisted shape I'm in...it's all wearing thin." He seems to have lost his sense of direction and purpose, and finds it difficult to keep going. The chorus emphasizes this feeling of defeat: "And it's easier now not to try, disappointment always finds its way inside...happens every time." The singer has become resigned to the fact that his efforts are futile and that he will always be let down in the end.

Towards the end of the song, the singer reflects on the memories he shared with his former partner. The image of "shards of broken glass" falling from his knees suggests that these memories are painful and difficult to confront. However, he also acknowledges that he will never be able to return to the past: "Can't go back again." The final lines of the song are bleak and hopeless, suggesting that the singer is left with nothing but a hollow sense of sadness: "Sympathy might be an easy high, easier than asking why it all burned down, nothing left inside; now it's all a lie."
