Killstation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the past but I'm driving down the road all
Paralyzed but I think that I should go now
Never crashing I don't even know how
I won't pretend I don't need you
You know the shit that I've been through
My love cannot continue
But I think that we should slow down
In the past but I'm driving down the road all
Paralyzed but I think that I should go now
Never crashing I don't even know how
I won't pretend I don't need you
You know the shit that I've been through
My love cannot continue
I think of him when I see you
Underneath the fallen leaf
Everything was meant to be
Time I spent just you and me
No one else was meant to be
I won't pretend I don't need you
You know that shit that I've been through
My love cannot continue
I think of him when I see you
I won't pretend I don't need you
You know that shit that I've been through
My love cannot continue
I think of him when I see you
The lyrics of Killstation's song "Pareidolia" reflect the emotions and thoughts of someone who is struggling to move on from their past while simultaneously trying to navigate their present. The first few lines of the song reveal the conflicting nature of the singer's state of mind - they are living fast, which implies a sense of urgency, but they also suggest a need to slow things down. The mention of the past and driving down the road reflects a sense of nostalgia and longing, which further intensifies the internal conflict. The use of the word "paralyzed" suggests a state of stuckness or indecision, but the singer also feels the urge to go, to move on from this state of uncertainty.
The second verse further emphasizes the singer's inner turmoil. They admit to needing the person to whom they are addressing the song, but they also acknowledge the pain they have endured in past relationships. They cannot continue to offer their love but instead continually think of someone else when they see the person they need. This reflects a deep sense of hurt and trauma that has not yet been resolved, making it difficult for the singer to form new relationships or move on completely.
In essence, the song reflects the struggle between one's past and present, and the difficulty of letting go of past experiences that continue to shape one's present reality. It's a poignant reflection of the human experience, where one is faced with the challenge of reconciling with their past while actively engaging in their present.
