Feel No Pain
IMAScore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lights are out
We all get old beneath the ground
The shock sets in
You wave goodbye
You feel too dead to be alive
Sometimes that′s for the better
Death always fools the clever
We all will hang together
You better not speak too loud
You better not make a sound
Because in return your life will burn down to the ground
You better not feel no pain
You better not get insane
Because when you snap
The world's a trap and you're to blame
You better not feel no pain
You better not get insane
Because when you snap, the world′s a trap and you′re to blame
Blame, blame, blame
The lyrics of "Feel No Pain" by IMAScore convey a dark and introspective exploration of mortality and the collective human experience. The first verse, "Your story's told, The lights are out, We all get old beneath the ground," suggests the universal inevitability of death. It implies that each individual has their own unique tale, but in the end, we all share the same fate of growing old and ultimately being buried in the ground.
The second verse, "The shock sets in, You wave goodbye, You feel too dead to be alive," delves into the emotional impact of death. It suggests that when faced with the reality of mortality, it can be overwhelming and make us feel numb to the point where we question our own existence. The following lines, "Most times we're dead forever, Sometimes that's for the better, Death always fools the clever, We all will hang together," further explore the idea that death is a permanent state for most, but sometimes it can be seen as a relief or escape. It also speaks to the irony of how death can deceive even the smartest individuals and that ultimately, in death, we are all united.
The chorus warns against expressing one's pain or succumbing to insanity, as it bears consequences. It suggests that when one's emotions become too overwhelming and they lose control ("when you snap"), the world becomes a trap and they are held accountable for the aftermath. The repetition of "Blame, blame, blame" at the end of the lyrics emphasizes the idea of personal responsibility in handling one's pain and emotions.
Overall, "Feel No Pain" is a thought-provoking song that delves into the existential themes of mortality, emotional turmoil, and personal accountability.
