Asylum
From The Ground Up Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My thoughts are blinding my heart has turned so cold
They call me crazy they say I've lost all reason
In my own head my thoughts commit treason
My thoughts they stop my sleep
Depression slowly creeps
My head cannot contain
Voices whisper soft
Take out your anger
On those who love you most
Merge with the stranger
Torture from within
Losing my meaning
My rage is boiling forth
Tempers are seething
My rage is building
Emotions take control
My fears are binding
The demons take my soul
Lost in delusion
My thoughts are filled with grandeur
Not just psychosis
I hear the shadows banter
Jump
My thoughts they stop my sleep
Depression slowly creeps
My head cannot contain
The darkness inside of my brain
Voices whisper soft
Take out your anger
On those who love you most
Merge with the stranger
Torture from within
Losing my meaning
My rage is boiling forth
Tempers are seething
My thoughts they stop my sleep
Depression slowly creeps
My head cannot contain
The darkness inside of my brain
Darkness surrounds me
Darkness surrounds me
The lyrics to "Asylum" by From The Ground Up depict a person who is battling with their own mental state and the darkness that consumes them. The opening lines describe a sense of losing control and feeling detached from emotions, as the darkness within their thoughts has turned their heart cold. The person feels alienated and misunderstood by society, as they are labeled as crazy and irrational. Internally, their thoughts seem to betray them and go against their own well-being.
The second verse dives deeper into the internal struggle, as depression begins to intrude upon their sleep and thoughts. The darkness inside their mind becomes overwhelming and uncontainable. The voices in their head urge them to take out their anger on those who love them the most, presenting a twisted notion of finding relief through hurting others. The mention of merging with a stranger hints at the person losing their sense of identity and becoming consumed by their demons. They feel like they are losing their own meaning and their rage is on the verge of erupting. The final lines of the song reiterate the suffocating presence of darkness that surrounds them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Asylum" portray the internal battle with mental health, the isolation from society, and the way in which dark thoughts can consume and distort one's perception of reality.
