Killstation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I only hope that you're alright
In absolute absence of light
And I can't hide but every time I see your eyes
I lose my mind
I lose my mind
I lose my mind
I lose my mind
I lose my mind




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Killstation's song Aniline are a portrayal of the aftermath of a break-up. The artist is expressing his concern for his former lover and their well-being. He hopes that his ex-partner is okay, even though they are apart and are in a place of darkness or emptiness. The phrase "absolute absence of light" refers not only to the physical darkness but also to the emotional emptiness and the absence of connection.


The next line "I can't hide but every time I see your eyes, I lose my mind" is symbolic of the strong feelings that he still has for this person. The artist can't ignore his former lover when he sees them, and he loses control of his senses. Despite the pain of the break-up and the feeling of emptiness and loneliness, he cannot help but feel the attraction towards the person that he loved.


The repetition of the phrase "I lose my mind" in the chorus is a reflection of the artist's emotional turmoil, which he cannot come to terms with. The repetition of the phrase represents the intensity of his emotions, his struggle to let go and his feeling of being lost without this person who was a significant part of his life.
