Sometimes It Hurts
ERIICE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But sometimes I fall through the cracks
Cover it up with a mask
Instead of showing who I am
And I can get lost
Thinking about what went wrong
Analyzing what I've done
Sometimes it hurts
A little too much to ignore Sometimes I feel so alone
Alone in this modern world
Yeah sometimes it hurts A little to much brush off
Sometimes I feel so damn cold
I'm cold but my body burns
Sometimes it hurts
Sometimes it hurts
I try to be strong
But sometimes it comes to a point
When nothing feels good anymore
I know that it's time to just stop
Just stop
When my blood is running cold
And my head is hanging low
And the shadows fill my soul
I've had enough
The lyrics to ERIICE's song Sometimes It Hurts describe the experience of struggling to maintain a facade of strength and positivity in the face of personal pain and emotional turmoil. The lines "I try to be strong, but sometimes I fall through the cracks" and "Cover it up with a mask, instead of showing who I am" suggest that the singer is grappling with feelings of vulnerability and the pressure to present a confident exterior to the world. Despite their efforts to move on from past mistakes and regrets (as evidenced by the lines "Analyzing what I've done, trying my best to move on"), they still occasionally feel overwhelmed by emotions they can't fully dismiss or ignore.
The repeated refrain of "Sometimes it hurts" underscores the raw and painful nature of these emotions, as well as the fact that they can't always be neatly compartmentalized or pushed aside. The singer's reference to feeling "so alone in this modern world" suggests that their struggles are exacerbated by a sense of disconnection or isolation from others. However, even though the individual feels the weight of their emotions acutely (as indicated by lines like "Sometimes I feel so damn cold, I'm cold but my body burns"), they eventually reach a point where they can acknowledge the need to step away from their struggles and take some time for self-care and reflection.
Overall, the lyrics to Sometimes It Hurts offer an honest and relatable portrayal of the ways in which we all try to cope with difficult emotions and the ways in which these feelings can sometimes overwhelm us.

I try to be strong
I attempt to appear resilient and unaffected by obstacles
But sometimes I fall through the cracks
Sometimes I falter, succumbing to pressure and vulnerability
Cover it up with a mask
I hide my pain, presenting a façade of strength and stability
Instead of showing who I am
Rather than express my true emotions and feelings
And I can get lost
I often become consumed, feeling helpless and disconnected
Thinking about what went wrong
Reflecting and dwelling on what caused my pain and distress
Analyzing what I've done
Examining my actions that led to my current situation
Trying my best to move on, but
Attempting to progress forward, yet still struggling to let go of the past
Sometimes it hurts
Occasionally the pain is unbearable
A little too much to ignore
Too intense to disregard or avoid

Alone in this modern world
Isolated from others in today's society
A little too much brush off
Too much to disregard or shrug off
Sometimes I feel so damn cold
Occasionally I experience emotional detachment and numbness
I'm cold but my body burns
My emotions are cold and distant, yet my physical body is tense and in pain
Sometimes it hurts
Occasionally the pain is unbearable
I try to be strong
I attempt to appear resilient and unaffected by obstacles
But sometimes it comes to a point
On occasion, it becomes impossible to maintain a façade of strength
When nothing feels good anymore
When everything seems bleak and without purpose or joy
I know that it's time to just stop
I acknowledge that it is time to take a break and focus on self-care
When my blood is running cold
When I feel emotionally numb and detached
And my head is hanging low
When I struggle to find motivation or optimism
And the shadows fill my soul
When negative thoughts and emotions dominate my psyche
I've had enough
I realize that I cannot continue to endure this pain and need to seek help or support
