Alleviate
Leprous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel blurry
Where my weight is gone
There is nothing
Whenever I go wrong
I hear the same old song
Voices from below
I fear it never goes away
All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my fate
All I could do in the end was wait
United with my fears I'll alleviate
The loop goes on and on
Until my mind is gone
Gone in circles
The barricade is strong
It′s feeling all alone
Have to accept it
The tower can't be torn
Before the cape is worn
Losing control
Feels the only way
All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my fate
All I could do in the end was wait
United with my fears I'll alleviate
All I could do was wait
Laying down with my fate
All I could do was wait
Now I will alleviate
All I could do was wait
Laying down with my fate
All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my fate
The lyrics to Leprous's song Alleviate delve into the feelings of anxiety and the sense of being lost and powerless. It talks about feeling blurry and weightless, being stuck in a loop of negative thoughts that go round and round, and feeling isolated and alone. The repetition of the phrase, "All I could do in the end was wait," accentuates the feeling of helplessness and resignation that the singer feels.
The lyrics also imply a sense of acceptance towards the singer's situation. The words "have to accept it" suggest that the singer has come to terms with the fact that they cannot control their thoughts or their environment. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer resolving to "alleviate" their fears and anxieties, and taking control of their life once more.
Overall, the lyrics to Alleviate paint a picture of someone struggling with anxiety, but also accepting their situation and finding a way to move forward.

Lyrics:
When I'm far from home
I feel blurry
Where my weight is gone
There is nothing
Whenever I go wrong
I hear the same old song
Voices from below
I fear it never goes away
All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith

Until my mind is gone
Gone in circles
The barricades are strong
It's been that all along
Have to accept it
The tower can't be torn
Before the cape is worn
Losing control
(It's the only way of living)
All I could do in the end was wait
Laying down with my faith
All I could do in the end was wait
United with my fears

Laying down with my faith
All I could do was wait
