Dislocation
Disembodied Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when the dust has finally settled to the ground
when your left dealing with yourself can you handle it
can you stand it, can you?
when you can't stand yourself, when you can't stand your life,
when you can't love yourself, how can you love anyone else?
can you handle it
can you stand it, can you?
and all your loved ones have finally passed away
who will you look to for comfort?
who will you look to for fun?
who will you look to when all your friends are gone?
when you can't even stand the sight of yourself
how can you look me in the eye
when you can't even stand the sight of yourself
how can you tell me everything's alright?
The lyrics to Disembodied's song Dislocation depict a person who is struggling to cope with the various challenges that life has thrown their way. The song touches on themes of loneliness, despair, and hopelessness. The first lines of the song suggest that the person has lost all their friends and any hope they had for the future. The imagery of dust settling on the ground is a powerful metaphor that represents the aftermath of a tragic event.
The chorus of the song delves into the idea that when someone cannot stand themselves and their life, it becomes impossible for them to love anyone else. This highlights the idea that self-love is crucial in order to be able to love others. The verses then talk about the loss of loved ones and the feeling of being alone. The lines "who will you look to for comfort, who will you look to for fun" show the emptiness and void that one feels when they don't have anyone else to rely on. The final lines of the song emphasize the idea that when someone can't even stand the sight of themselves, they can't very well tell others that everything is all right.
In conclusion, Dislocation is a haunting and introspective song that examines the struggles of human existence. It encourages listeners to confront their inner demons and work towards cultivating a sense of self-love and acceptance. The lyrics suggest that while the world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, it is possible to find solace within oneself.
