Unreal
Drain STH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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...
The lyrics to Drain STH's song Unreal seem to express the feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and despair. The singer's hope is wearing thin, like ice, and their feelings are slowly dying. The singer wonders if there's anyone there for them or if they are all alone with their pain. Their pain seems to be so intense that it feels as though a thorn is sticking deep inside them. The singer describes feeling trapped in their body and buried in themselves, unable to escape the pain they feel.
The singer seems to be in a state of depression, unable to connect with the world around them. They describe feeling lost and on their own, with all their feelings turned to stone. The repetition of the phrase "Can you feel me, I am wrong" and "Can you see me, I am gone" highlights the singer's sense of isolation and detachment from others. The overall mood of the song is one of sadness and despair, with the repetition of the phrase "to stone" driving home the idea that the singer's emotions have become hardened and unfeeling.
