Fear of Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've tried my best to destroy you
But the waves keep overflowing me
Washing me out til i'm empty
What you want is bleached out by the sun
My weakness is waiting
Could words even shake what i've become
I open at your touch
(you give up, you give up)
I open at your touch
(you give up, you give up)
You are unbearable memories when i sleep
I've tried my best to destroy you
But the waves keep overflowing me
Washing me out til i'm empty
Nobody can save me from myself
It's harder to let go
Reality cannot abandon me
It's painful, i hope you know that i
I want you more than this
(you give up, you give up)
I want you more than this
(you give up, you give up)
You are unbearable memories when i sleep
I've tried my best to destroy you
But the waves keep overflowing me
Washing me out till i'm empty
When you notice
Nothing left
Nothing left
When you notice
I'm already gone
The song Luna by Fear of Men is a contemplative and emotional reflection on the pain of past memories and the struggle to let go of them. The singer starts off by acknowledging the unbearable nature of these memories, noting how they haunt her even in her sleep. She admits to trying her best to forget them but to no avail, being constantly overwhelmed by them like waves that continue to wash over her, rendering her empty and hollow.
The second verse explores the conflicting feelings that arise from the persistence of these memories. The sun has bleached out any semblance of what was once desired, leaving only the weak remnants of longing. The singer questions whether it is even possible for words to do anything to change the person she has become in the face of such pain. Her hatred of the situation is palpable, and she hopes the other person knows this.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "I open at your touch" with a refrain of "you give up, you give up" almost as if to suggest that the other person is unable to see the hurt they are causing. The final verse reflects on the futility of trying to hold onto something that is already lost. The singer acknowledges that nobody can save her from herself and that reality is painful, but she still yearns for what she can no longer have. The song ends on a melancholic note with the haunting line "when you notice, I'm already gone".
Overall, Luna is a powerful and poignant portrayal of the struggle to come to terms with the past and move on from it. It is a beautiful and introspective piece that captures the pain of loss and the longing for what is no longer attainable.
