Descent
L.I.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel like a failure for all the time that I'm wasting
I'm walking home alone
Climb five flights of stairs to this broken home
Where I'm constantly reminded of
Mistakes I can never let go
It's pushing me over the edge
Praying I will make it out alive
I'm thinking back to a better time
When I was still young and I felt so alive
Now I'm struggling to realize
That things have changed
It's too overwhelming
The thoughts that the devil tries to sell me
Please someone tell me
That life won't always look this gray
It's pushing me over the edge
Praying I will make it out alive
As I descend
The farther I fall
The harder it gets
To pull myself out of the thoughts in my head
They've swallowed me whole
As I finally fall to my bitter descent
(As I finally fall to my bitter descent
Things have changed
Things have changed)
The lyrics to L.I.E.'s song "Descent" explore feelings of confinement, failure, and nostalgia for better times. The singer describes themselves as feeling like a prisoner, trapped within their own skin. They also feel like a failure for wasting time, which adds to their sense of confinement. The line "I'm walking home alone, climb five flights of stairs to this broken home" suggests a physical and emotional journey that leads to a place where reminders of past mistakes constantly haunt them. The singer acknowledges that they cannot let go of these mistakes, which continuously push them "over the edge."
Throughout the song, the singer reflects on a past when they were younger and full of life. However, they now struggle to accept that things have changed. It becomes overwhelming for them to grapple with the thoughts the devil tries to sell them, highlighting the internal battle going on within their mind. The plea to someone for reassurance, hoping that life won't always look as bleak as it does now, indicates a desperate desire for solace and hope.
The song's theme revolves around the singer's descent into a darker emotional state. The farther they fall, the harder it becomes for them to extract themselves from the negative thoughts that consume their mind. The lyrics express a sense of being swallowed whole by these thoughts, ultimately leading to a bitter descent. The repetition of the line "things have changed" reinforces the idea that the singer struggles to adjust and find their way back to a more positive state of being.
