Things in pain
LIL NARNIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on ice and I can't find a single line or a word to say
You'll always use me when you need
Somebody to lean on
Something to feed off
Comfort when he's gone
Love's not what she wants
Don't tell me I'll be fine
You smile and blood drips from your lips
Yeah I've studied your movements
Such lovely illusions
Thought we were humans but I was wrong
Things in pain is all we are
Anything that I can imagine goes wrong
Called it love around you for so long
Life is a nightmare
Gotta stay strong
Won't be here long
Don't know where I belong
Sooner or later sounds so bleak
Why can't we just go back to when we were eighteen
Nothing to worry about care free
Take anything to make this pain ease
Watch all of my friends
Say goodbye when
I'm on ice and I can't find a single line
Or a word to say
You'll always use me when you need
Somebody to lean on
Something to feed off
Comfort when he's gone
Love's not what she wants
Don't tell me I'll be fine
I'm watching you leave why do you do this
You smile and blood drips from your lips
Yeah I've studied your movements
Such lovely illusions
Thought we were humans but I was wrong
Things in pain is all we are
In Lil Narnia's song "Things in Pain," the lyrics delve into themes of emotional turmoil, manipulation, and a sense of displacement.
The first verse captures a feeling of abandonment and betrayal. The singer's friends seem to leave them when they are struggling and cannot find the right words to express themselves. The singer acknowledges that they are often used by others as a source of support and comfort when needed, highlighting a sense of being taken advantage of. The line "Love's not what she wants" suggests a failed romantic relationship, where the singer realizes that their love and care are not reciprocated. The phrase "watching you leave, why do you do this" implies a pattern of repeated abandonment or rejection, causing the singer pain.
The second verse continues the theme of pain and a sense of hopelessness. The singer expresses that everything they imagine goes wrong, emphasizing a negative outlook on life. The line "life is a nightmare, gotta stay strong" suggests that the singer recognizes the challenges and hardships they face but strives to persevere. They also express a feeling of not belonging, indicating a sense of isolation or being out of place. The mention of being eighteen and wishing to go back to a more carefree time implies a desire to escape their current hardships and return to a simpler, happier period in their life.
The recurring chorus highlights the pattern of abandonment explored in the verses. The singer witnesses their friends saying goodbye while they struggle and feel numb ("on ice") and unable to express themselves ("can't find a single line or a word to say"). The singer acknowledges that they are often used as a source of support and comfort when someone else needs it, but love and genuine care seem to elude them. The reference to blood dripping from the person's lips suggests that the manipulation and pain inflicted on the singer is disguised by a false smile.
The concluding lines of the song suggest that the singer believed they were human, capable of experiencing genuine emotions and connections, but now realizes that they are merely "things in pain." This emphasizes their feelings of being broken, hollow, and constantly in a state of suffering. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and disillusionment, where the singer grapples with the pain inflicted by others and struggles to find their place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
Watch all of my friends say goodbye when
Witnessing my friends abandoning me when
I'm on ice and I can't find a single line or a word to say
Feeling frozen and unable to express my thoughts or emotions
You'll always use me when you need
Being used whenever you require
Somebody to lean on
A support system to rely on
Something to feed off
Something to emotionally or energetically derive sustenance from
Comfort when he's gone
Providing solace when he is absent
Love's not what she wants
Love is not her desire
Don't tell me I'll be fine
Please refrain from assuring that I will be alright
I'm watching you leave why do you do this
Observing your departure, questioning the reasons behind it
You smile and blood drips from your lips
Your deceptive smile conceals the pain and suffering you endure
Yeah I've studied your movements
I have closely observed your actions and behavior
Such lovely illusions
These charming illusions you create
Thought we were humans but I was wrong
Believed we were genuine beings, but I was mistaken
Things in pain is all we are
We are nothing more than entities suffering in anguish

LYRICS
Watch all of my friends say goodbye
When I'm on ice
And I can't find
A single line or word to say
You'll always use me when you need
Somebody to lean on
Something to feed off
Come when he's gone
I loved how she was
Don't tell me I'll be fine
I'm watchin you leave
Why do you do this
You smile and blood drips from your lips
Yeah I studdied your movements
And all the illusions
Thought we were humans but I was wrong
Things in pain is all we are
Anything that I can imagine goes wrong
Called it love around you for so long
Life is a nightmare
Gotta stay strong
Won't be here long
I don't know where I belong
Sooner or later sounds so bleek
Why can't we just go back to when we were 18
Nothing to worry about
Carefree
Take anything to make this pain ease
Watch all of my friends say goodbye
When I'm on ice
And I can't find
A single line or word to say
You'll always use me when you need
Somebody to lean on
Something to feed off
Come when he's gone
I loved how she was
Don't tell me I'll be fine
I'm watchin you leave
Why do you do this
You smile and blood drips from your lips
Yeah I studdied your movements
And all the illusions
Thought we were humans but I was wrong
Things in pain is all we are
