Only Hurts Awhile
Injected Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Too much left to say,
You never wanted it that way.
And now you wake up wondering
Why your life is tumbling into nothing left to say
You always knew it'd be that way
And now you poison your dreams with a feeling that seems

To leave you all alone
Ditch you halfway home
You pick yourself up off the ground
And find out what it's all about.

It only hurts awhile and then it's gone again.
No need to ask just where or when you'll find yourself again.
Cause you're only here awhile and then you're gone again.
No need to ask just where or when

Once upon a time I'd take a drink and I'd feel fine.
But now it hurts me everywhere, sick secrets I can't share.
Nothing left to say
I always knew it'd be that way.
And now I've poisoned my dreams with a feeling that seems

To leave me all alone
Ditch me halfway home.
I'll pick myself up off the ground
And find out what it's all about

Falling faster towards the ground




You are
Falling faster down and down

Overall Meaning

"Only Hurts Awhile" by Injected is a powerful song describing the feelings of isolation and pain. The lyrics begin with a reflection of too much left unsaid between two people, and the realization that the relationship ended poorly. The person waking up in the morning is wondering why their life is tumbling down and why they feel so alone. It is made evident that they always knew that things would turn out this way, and they begin to poison their dreams with a feeling of emptiness that seems to leave them all alone. The journey of self-discovery is described in the verses, where one picks themselves up off the ground, finds out what it is all about, and ultimately realizes that the pain only hurts for a while, and soon enough it will be gone again.


The repetitive "It only hurts awhile, and then it's gone again" acts as a crutch to comfort the person in pain. They are assured that they may not know where or when they will find themselves again, but all they need to do is keep moving forward, keep their head above water, and they will eventually reach the shore. The chorus acts as a constant reminder that everything is temporary, and the pain will go away soon enough. The bridge following the second verse breaks into a confession where the singer admits to self-medicating with alcohol to deal with their pain. A new form of pain is introduced and the isolation becomes more apparent as the sick secrets become harder to share. The song ends with the idea of falling towards the ground faster and faster, indicating the end is near.

Too much left to say
There are still so many things left unsaid


You never wanted it that way
You didn't expect things to turn out this way, but you had no control


And now you wake up wondering
You wake up every day in confusion and uncertainty


Why your life is tumbling into nothing left to say
You feel like your life is spiraling out of control with no words left to describe it


You always knew it'd be that way
Deep down, you knew things were going to be difficult


And now you poison your dreams with a feeling that seems
You're ruining your hopes and aspirations with a negative emotion


To leave you all alone
It leaves you feeling isolated and lonely


Ditch you halfway home
Abandon you when you're halfway to your destination


You pick yourself up off the ground
You're able to rebuild yourself after hitting rock bottom

You learn the meaning and purpose of it all


It only hurts awhile and then it's gone again.
All the pain is temporary and will eventually subside


No need to ask just where or when you'll find yourself again.

Life is short, so make the most of it


Once upon a time I'd take a drink and I'd feel fine.
In the past, alcohol would numb your pain


But now it hurts me everywhere, sick secrets I can't share.
Now you can't escape the pain and there are secrets you can't share


Falling faster towards the ground
Life seems to be moving faster towards a negative outcome


You are
This is happening to you


Falling faster down and down
Things are worsening and becoming more dire
