Face of Defeat Pt. 1
Inertia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forgetting a part of yourself? Is that the best that you could do
Faced with your defeat, when I would wish you well
While you ran for safety, Into your living hell... Oh I wish you well
When I see you, I really see you upside down
In the face of defeat, you're overdue to stand your ground
With all you're weight on my shoulders, I won't let you down
How frequently do you convince yourself that you don't mean anything?
Faced with your defeat, when I would wish you well
You still ran for safety, Into that living hell... That living hell
When I see you, I really see you upside down
In the face of defeat, you're overdue to stand your ground
With all you're weight on my shoulders, I won't let you down
Nothing left to do, nothing left to say, nothing left to feel if it doesn't matter anyway
Don't bother changing for me, I'm just a boy lost on his way And I'm searching for safety
And Ill keep searching every day
In the arms of a stranger, Or the arms of my worst enemy
Ill keep searching for safety when I'm in the face of my defeat
Don't bother changing for me, I'm just a boy lost on his way
And I'm searching for safety, And Ill keep searching every day
In the arms of a stranger, Or the arms of my worst enemy
Ill keep searching for safety when I'm in the face of my defeat
When I see you, I really see you upside down
In the face of defeat, you're overdue to stand your ground
With all you're weight on my shoulders, I won't let you down
When I see you, I really see you upside down
In the face of defeat, you're overdue to stand your ground
With all you're weight on my shoulders, I won't let you down
The lyrics of Inertia's song "Face of Defeat Pt. 1" speak to the struggle of a relationship that has come to an end. It appears that the singer is the one who has left the relationship but is still concerned about the well-being of their ex-partner. They seem to question if their ex has lost a part of themselves in the process of moving on and wonders if this is the best they could do. While the singer wishes their ex well, they note that their ex seems to have run for safety but into their own living hell instead.
The singer seems to struggle with their own identity as well, possibly feeling like they are seen as an enemy by their ex. They question if they mean anything to their ex and if their efforts to support them would ever be enough. The song ends on a note of hope, however, as the singer continues their search for safety and promises to not let their ex down.
Overall, the lyrics seem to explore themes of identity, change, and the struggle to find a place of safety and stability in the face of difficult circumstances.
