Unreal
Drain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hope is wearing thin as ice
When my feelings slowly die
Is there anyone there?
Am I all alone?
Through the flesh to the bone
Thorn sticks deep inside me
Can you feel me, I am wrong
Can you see me, I am gone
From the things I have denied
Feel the smell, Feel the smell
From what once was me
I am trapped in myself
Buried in my body
Can you feel me I am wrong
Can you see me so long gone
I am lost, I'm on my own
All my feelings, turned to stone




To stone...
To stone...

Overall Meaning

The song "Unreal" by Drain S.T.H. is a powerful and emotional introspective with deeply personal lyrics. The first few lines, "Hope is wearing thin as ice, When my feelings slowly die," reveals the singer's feelings of hopelessness and despair. The lyrics suggest that they have been struggling with a profound sense of loneliness, isolation, and disconnect from the world around them. The line "Is there anyone there? Am I all alone?" is particularly poignant, questioning their existence and place in the world.


As the song progresses, the singer's anguish becomes more apparent. They describe being trapped in their own body, stuck in a cycle of denial that has left them feeling lost, isolated, and disconnected. The line "Can you feel me, I am wrong/Can you see me, I am gone" hints at deep regret, possibly over something that has been lost or taken away. The song's chorus is particularly powerful, with the repetition of "To stone..." emphasizing the singer's sense of emotional shutdown and isolation.


Overall, the song is a raw and honest expression of emotional pain and a plea for recognition and understanding. It's a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are not alone.
