Lifeless...Life...
Ill Niño Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo no entiendo lo que es, everything is just a haze
Yo no entiendo lo que es, everything is just a haze

I just need, I just need to become your disease
I could be, I could be all that you will believe
I will freeze, I will freeze and distort all your dreams
You will feed, you will feed enough to never get away
I make you feel like yourself
Don't think of asking for help
Just stay
I will take you away

My drug is everything I wanted her to be
She helps me deal and run away from life
I couldn't cope and wouldn't even try
When the well's running dry

That is how I was meant to be
Is in me, everything that you need is in me
I could be, I could be all that you will believe
I will turn, I will turn you so numb and so cold
You will feed, you will feed enough to never get away

I make you feel like yourself
Don't think of asking for help
Just stay
I will take you away

My drug is everything I wanted her to be
She helps me deal and run away from life
I couldn't cope and wouldn't even try
When the well's running dry

My drug is everything I want it to be
I never thought that I'd be down here begging, down on my knees, but hey
It's my life and I think it's not funny
I chose it myself and that's all that you owe me

For life, life, life, life
Life, life, life
Lifeless life, life, life, life, life
Life

My drug is everything I want it to be
I never thought that I'd be down here begging, down on my knees, but hey
It's my life and I think it's not funny
I chose it myself, it's all that you owe me

For life, life, life, life
Life, life, life




Lifeless life, lifeless life, lifeless life
When the world's running dry

Overall Meaning

The song "Lifeless...Life..." by Ill Niño seems to be about the struggles of addiction and the feeling of being lost and unclear about one's path in life. The repeated line "Yo no entiendo lo que es, everything is just a haze" translates to "I don't understand what it is, everything is just a haze" and emphasizes the feeling of confusion and disorientation. The singer of the song speaks from the perspective of someone who has found a drug that helps them cope with life and take them away from their problems, but in reality, the drug is just a temporary escape that distorts their reality and emotions. The chorus "I make you feel like yourself, don't think of asking for help, just stay, I will take you away" reflects how addiction can make people feel like they are in control and everything is okay, but in reality, they are just getting sucked deeper and deeper into the problem.


The lines "My drug is everything I wanted her to be, she helps me deal and run away from life, I couldn't cope and wouldn't even try when the well's running dry" specifically mention the drug as a "she" and indicate how people can use substances to fill a void in their lives or cope with emotional pain. The song also highlights the idea that the singer has chosen their path in life and takes ownership of it, stating "It's my life and I think it's not funny, I chose it myself, it's all that you owe me."


Overall, the lyrics in "Lifeless...Life..." showcase the destructive nature of addiction and the feeling of being powerless to overcome it, but also the sense of control and ownership addicts can have over their lives.
