Inertia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is there a way to go without you ever knowing
That I left it all behind
And I don't want to change you mind
Because I'm feeling low and that I don't deserve
All the good things in this life
And I know that no one minds
But it claws at me inside
You don't know what's on my mind
I don't need you to feel 'cause what I feel is real
But I can't help asking why
I'm standing on the edge
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
I feel it happening again
And after all this time
I forgot that I'm alive
What do I do to pass the time?
I'm just walking around with my head down
Trying to build a new disguise
I'm thinking "why should I even try?"
When every choice is the same
And I'm going insane when
I'm standing on the edge
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
I feel it happening again
And after all this time
I forgot that I'm alive
Now I'm staring at mirrors trying to find myself again
I've been asking him questions but nothing's making sense
I'm finding out
Nothing's making sense
I'm standing on the edge
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
I feel it happening again
And after all this time
I forgot that I'm alive
The lyrics of Inertia's song "Disguise" capture the emotional struggle and inner turmoil of the singer. The first stanza reflects their feeling of constantly being overwhelmed by negative emotions. They question if they are perpetually burdened by these feelings and if there is any way to hide their true state from others. They imply that they have left everything behind and don't want anyone to change their mind about it. They also express a sense of unworthiness, feeling that they don't deserve the good things in life.
In the second stanza, the singer acknowledges that no one really pays attention to or cares about what they do or how they perceive the world. However, internally, these feelings are tearing them apart. They state that others don't know what's going on in their mind, and they don't need anyone else to validate their emotions because they are real. Yet, they still find themselves questioning why they feel this way.
The third stanza describes the singer feeling on the brink of collapse. They feel like they are hanging by a thread and no one is aware of their struggle. Their mind is racing, and they sense that their mental state is deteriorating once again. After an extended period of feeling numb or lifeless, they suddenly remember that they are alive, possibly indicating a glimmer of hope or a realization of the importance of their existence.
In the final stanza, the singer shares their struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. They describe walking around with their head down, trying to create a new identity or disguise to navigate their emotional pain. They question why they should even try when every choice seems to lead to the same outcome, causing them to feel like they are losing their sanity.
The bridge adds another layer to their struggle. They reveal that they have been spending time staring at mirrors, desperately searching for their true self. They have been seeking answers from an external source or possibly even a higher power, but nothing seems to provide clarity or make sense to them.
Ultimately, the lyrics of "Disguise" depict the singer's battle with their internal demons, an ongoing struggle to find purpose, understand their emotions, and maintain a sense of self. It touches on themes of mental health, self-worth, and the search for meaning in a seemingly chaotic world.
Line by Line Meaning
Do I feel this all the time?
Am I always experiencing these feelings?
Is there a way to go without you ever knowing
Is it possible to hide my true emotions from you?
That I left it all behind
That I abandoned everything I had before
And I don't want to change your mind
And I don't wish to alter your perspective
Because I'm feeling low and that I don't deserve
Because I'm feeling down and unworthy
All the good things in this life
All the positive aspects of existence
And I know that no one minds
And I know that nobody cares
They don't care what I do, how the world seems to you
They are indifferent to my actions and how the world appears to you
But it claws at me inside
But it torments me internally
You don't know what's on my mind
You are unaware of my thoughts
I don't need you to feel 'cause what I feel is real
I don't require your empathy because my emotions are genuine
But I can't help asking why
But I cannot refrain from questioning why
I'm standing on the edge
I am in a precarious situation
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
Nobody is aware that I am barely holding on
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
My thoughts are overwhelming, and I sense them collapsing
I feel it happening again
I sense it occurring once more
And after all this time
And despite the passing of time
I forgot that I'm alive
I neglected to remember that I am living
What do I do to pass the time?
What actions do I take to fill the hours?
I'm just walking around with my head down
I am simply wandering with my head lowered
Trying to build a new disguise
Attempting to construct a new façade
I'm thinking 'why should I even try?'
I'm contemplating why I should make an effort
When every choice is the same
When all options appear identical
And I'm going insane when
And I'm becoming mentally unstable when
Now I'm staring at mirrors trying to find myself again
Now I'm gazing into mirrors attempting to rediscover who I am
I've been asking him questions but nothing's making sense
I've been posing inquiries to myself, but nothing is comprehensible
I'm finding out
I'm realizing
Nothing's making sense
Nothing is coherent or logical
I'm standing on the edge
I am in a perilous position once again
No one knows that I'm hanging by a thread
Nobody realizes that I am barely holding on
My mind is racing, I feel it caving in
My thoughts are spinning out of control, and I sense them collapsing
I feel it happening again
I sense it occurring once more
And after all this time
And despite the passing of time
I forgot that I'm alive
I neglected to remember that I am living
