Isolation
Doubting Thieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can’t feel anything that I thought was real
I don’t know why
this institution would choose to lie
Instead of absolution
Why don’t you just tell me what you want
Let it all out in front of me
Listen to me now
Can you feel it digging it’s way back inside?
Can you fight it? Let it crawl back in your mind.
Breath it in and out just let it take control
Understand this hate you have will thrive full force.
Why can’t I find a true meaning to stay alive?
I push away the ones that love most
But the voice inside my head is what will take this soul
Can you see the pain in my eyes
I know that you see clearly
And I swear it’s not me
And I know it’s controlling
I need to get outta this place
It’s a fucking disgrace
It’s pulling me down under the current
Get me outta this place
I thought I told you to tell me what you wanted from me
But I guess that’s too much to ask
When the fuck will you let me go
I’m tired of being at your demise
In the opening stanza, the lyrics convey a sense of detachment and disillusionment. The singer feels numb and unable to connect with what they once believed to be real. They question why the institution, possibly referencing a system or authority figure, chooses to deceive rather than seek forgiveness or resolution. The singer desires honesty and transparency, urging the institution to reveal their true intentions. They want to confront and address the situation head-on.
The next stanza introduces the metaphor of "wolves outside the door" as a representation of the menacing challenges or temptations that surround the singer. It implies that these external forces are trying to infiltrate their mind and thoughts. The lyrics question whether the singer can withstand these influences, whether they can resist allowing negativity or harmful thoughts to take control. The mention of "understand this hate you have" suggests that the singer may be battling with internal anger or destructive emotions that have the potential to consume them completely.
The third stanza reflects a struggle within the singer's mind. They express the idea of feeling lost and not finding a true reason to hold onto life. They admit to pushing away those who love them, perhaps due to the influence of the voice inside their head, which they believe to be controlling their actions. The lyrics imply a plea for others to see the pain they carry, indicating a desire for understanding and support.
In the final stanza, frustration and desperation are palpable. The singer voices their need to escape from the current situation, which they describe as a disgrace and a place that is pulling them down. The lyrics reflect their exasperation with the institution or authority figure, demanding to be released from their grip. The line "I thought I told you to tell me what you wanted from me" suggests a previous discussion or request for clarity, but with no resolution. The chorus's repeated line, "I'm tired of being at your demise," expresses the singer's weariness of being controlled or negatively impacted by the actions or intentions of others.

As I sit here
In this present moment of solitude
I can’t feel anything that I thought was real
I have lost the ability to perceive what I believed to be genuine
I don’t know why
I lack understanding of the reason behind
this institution would choose to lie
the deliberate choice of this establishment to deceive
Instead of absolution
Rather than seeking forgiveness or resolution
Why don’t you just tell me what you want
Why not simply express your desires to me
Let it all out in front of me
Release all your emotions openly in my presence
Listen to me now
Pay heed to my words at this moment
The wolves outside the door are menacing
There are threatening forces on the other side of this entrance
Can you feel it digging it’s way back inside?
Are you aware of its ability to reenter and penetrate deep within?
Can you fight it? Let it crawl back in your mind.
Are you capable of opposing it? Permitting its gradual invasion of your thoughts?
Breath it in and out just let it take control
Inhale and exhale, surrendering yourself to its dominance
Understand this hate you have will thrive full force.
Comprehend that this intense anger within you will flourish with great intensity
Why can’t I find a true meaning to stay alive?
Why am I unable to discover a genuine purpose to sustain my existence?
I push away the ones that love most
I repel those who care for me deeply
But the voice inside my head is what will take this soul
Yet, the internal voice within me is the one that will seize my essence
Can you see the pain in my eyes
Are you able to perceive the suffering reflected in my gaze
I know that you see clearly
I am aware that you possess clear understanding
And I swear it’s not me
And I promise, it is not my true self
And I know it’s controlling
And I acknowledge that it has dominance
I need to get outta this place
I desperately require escape from this environment
It’s a fucking disgrace
It is an absolute and utter disgrace
It’s pulling me down under the current
It is exerting force that drags me beneath the current
Get me outta this place
Remove me from this location immediately
I thought I told you to tell me what you wanted from me
I believed I had instructed you to explicitly convey your desires to me
But I guess that’s too much to ask
Yet, I suppose such a request is beyond reasonable expectation
When the fuck will you let me go
At what point in time will you finally release me
I’m tired of being at your demise
I am weary of being subjected to your downfall
