Photomaton
Jabberwocky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let you rise away, can't feel your breath in my hairs
It seems to be years, and I'm alone and fake, and I'm alone and fake
If this world is too small to be two, a world without sense if I'm without you
It's always the wrong way, there's no return to life so you get your car and drive
Look at the game of your life, you never took all the dice
After all, curtains fall, there's no return to life, so get the car and die

Waiting for hope babe, there's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand, I'm running through your lies
You've got nothing to say, 'til I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name, demon's coming tonight

Waiting for hope babe, there's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand, I'm running through your lies
You've got nothing to say, 'til I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name, demon's coming tonight

The dolls inside me cave in, blood and tears on my skin
My wounds bring up my fear, but I like this last, this last grip
I just wanna rid me of my pain, this happy violence is beating in my veins
It's always the wrong way, there's no return to life, I'm in the car and drive

Waiting for hope babe, there's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand, I'm running through your lies
You've got nothing to say, 'til I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name, demon's coming tonight

Waiting for hope babe, there's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand, I'm running through your lies




You've got nothing to say, 'til I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name, demon's coming tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jabberwocky's song "Photomaton" depict the feelings of loneliness, pain, and despair after a breakup. The song starts with the singer acknowledging that their partner has left, and they can no longer feel their breath, which makes them feel lonely and fake. The singer then reflects on how meaningless the world feels without their partner, and how there's no going back to a happy life. The only option left is to drive away, even if it feels like going the wrong way.


As the song progresses, the singer reveals that they are depressed and have contemplated suicide. They hold pills in their hand, running through the lies their partner has told them. The partner is unable to provide any hope or solace, and the singer concludes that demons are coming tonight. They are haunted by their own dolled-up self, and the self-inflicted pain is the only thing that provides a sense of control over their life.


Ultimately, "Photomaton" is a song about heartbreak and its psychological effects on people. It highlights how losing someone you loved deeply can make you feel empty and hopeless, and how the pain can drive you towards self-destruction.

I let you rise away, can't feel your breath in my hairs
I allowed you to leave me, and now I can no longer feel the warmth of your breath on my skin.


It seems to be years, and I'm alone and fake, and I'm alone and fake
It feels like it has been an eternity since you left, and I am left feeling alone and like a fraud.


If this world is too small to be two, a world without sense if I'm without you
If the world is not big enough for the two of us, then it is a meaningless existence without you.


It's always the wrong way, there's no return to life so you get your car and drive
No matter which direction I take, it always feels like the wrong one, and there is no road back to a happy life, so I choose to drive aimlessly.

Reflect on your life and realize that you never took all the chances that were presented to you.


After all, curtains fall, there's no return to life, so get the car and die
In the end, when the curtains close, there is no way to come back to life, so I choose to drive until I die.


Waiting for hope babe, there's no more light in my sky
I am waiting for a glimmer of hope, but my world is bleak and darkness has consumed it.


See the pills in my hand, I'm running through your lies
I am holding pills and running away from the lies that you have fed me.


You've got nothing to say, 'til I'm crossing the line
You have nothing to say to me until I have reached my breaking point.


But you can't kill my name, demon's coming tonight
You may try to destroy my reputation and name, but tonight my inner demons will come out.


The dolls inside me cave in, blood and tears on my skin
The pieces of myself that I have buried deep inside are collapsing, leaving me wounded both physically and emotionally.


My wounds bring up my fear, but I like this last, this last grip
My wounds remind me of my fears, but I am still clinging to the pain because it is all I have left.


I just wanna rid me of my pain, this happy violence is beating in my veins
All I want is to be rid of my pain, but the desire for violent release is pulsing through me.

[Verse 1]
I let you rise away
Can't feel your breath in my hairs
It seems to be years
And I'm alone and fake
And I'm alone and fake
If this world is too small to be two
A world without sense if I'm without you
It's always the wrong way
There's no return to life so get your car and drive

[Pre-Chorus]
Look at the game of your life
You never took all the dice
After all, curtains fall
There's no return to life
So get the car and die

[Chorus]
Waiting for hope babe
There's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand
I'm running through your lies
You've got nothing to say
'Til I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name
Demon's coming tonight

Waiting for hope babe
There's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand
I'm running through your lies
You've got nothing to say
'Til I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name
Demon's coming tonight


[Verse 2]
The dolls inside me cave in
Blood and tears on my skin
My wounds bring up my fear
But I like this last, this last grip
I just wanna rid me of my pain
This happy violence is beating in my veins
It's always the wrong way
There's no return to life
I'm in the car and drive

[Chorus]
Waiting for hope babe
There's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand
I'm running through your lies
You've got nothing to say
Till I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name
Demon's coming tonight

Waiting for hope babe
There's no more light in my sky
See the pills in my hand
I'm running through your lies
You've got nothing to say
Till I'm crossing the line
But you can't kill my name
Demon's coming tonight
