Focus
Kjwan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take this away from me
Take away this poison

It's making it hard to see
I'm slowly falling under

Focusing on my hand
Save me from my emotions
I have lost my hold on my mind
I can't find what you seek in me
I am not what you once loved
Bleeding from these wounds

Wish that I was a numb




No words left unspoken
Focusing on my hands

Overall Meaning

The song "Focus" by Kjwan is a powerful expression of inner turmoil and the struggle to maintain control over one's thoughts and emotions. The opening lines express a desperate plea for relief from a toxic influence that is clouding the poet's mind and causing their mental state to deteriorate. Their sense of focus is slipping away as they fall deeper into despair.


The chorus reinforces this sense of disconnection, as the poet struggles to reconcile their inner self with the expectations of others. They feel like they've lost touch with their own identity and purpose, and are struggling to hold onto anything that gives them a sense of stability. The repetition of the phrase "focusing on my hands" suggests a sort of grounding technique, as the poet tries to stay present in their physical body and avoid being overwhelmed by their emotions.
