Eviction
Like Pacific Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A place between a price to pay we all know too well
And if stripping down my confidence wasn't enough You sat outside our place as we collected our stuff
Forget about the dirt and rust, forget about the negative swept under the rug
When all I know has left and gone, a place of doubt and nothing wrong
Please strip me of my confidence some more
Killing my interest to show I don't care
I'll keep to my self create my own life despair You can't cover up the past by digging up the ugly truth
Not another word, put me in alone
Something that resembles me more or less or too
Nothing ever comes before you take responsibility
Staying up all night won't help you clear the demons in your mind But it's not your fault your sick
And I'll spend my time blaming you for it
Please strip me of my confidence some more Killing my interest to show I don't care
I'll keep to my self create my own life despair
You can't cover up the past by digging up the ugly truth
A part of me must stay, but now I see the negativity
The lyrics in Like Pacific's song Eviction depict a sense of loss and dissatisfaction with the way life has turned out. The opening lines, "Rotting in heaven or burning in hell / A place between a price to pay we all know too well," suggest that the singer feels trapped in a difficult situation, caught between two extreme outcomes. The next line, "And if stripping down my confidence wasn't enough," implies that the singer has already been through some kind of emotional upheaval.
The chorus, "Please strip me of my confidence some more / Killing my interest to show I don't care / I'll keep to my self create my own life despair / You can't cover up the past by digging up the ugly truth," suggests a feeling of hopelessness and disillusionment. The singer seems resigned to their fate, and is more interested in distancing themselves from their difficulties than facing them head on.
The second verse, "Close your mouth, nothing makes it worse / Not another word, put me in alone / Something that resembles me more or less or too / Nothing ever comes before you take responsibility," suggests a desire for silence and solitude in the face of conflict. The final lines of the song, "A part of me must stay, but now I see the negativity," suggest that the singer has come to a realization about their situation, but it's not clear what that realization is.

Rotting in heaven or burning in hell
Life can sometimes feel like being stuck between two extremes, either a perfect heaven or a terrible hell.
A place between a price to pay we all know too well
We all know that life comes with struggles and sacrifices, and sometimes it feels like we're stuck in a never-ending cycle of having to pay for our mistakes.
And if stripping down my confidence wasn't enough

You sat outside our place as we collected our stuff
You watched us leave our home as we tried to gather our belongings and start a new life elsewhere.

Don't ignore the problems and negativity in our lives, but don't let them consume us either. Find a balance and move on.
When all I know has left and gone, a place of doubt and nothing wrong
When everything familiar and comfortable disappears, it leaves behind a void of uncertainty and confusion.

I don't even care about my self-worth anymore, so go ahead and take it away from me, it won't make a difference.
Killing my interest to show I don't care
I'm trying to convince myself and others that I'm apathetic to the situation, even though deep down I'm still hurting.
I'll keep to my self create my own life despair
I'll isolate myself from the world and wallow in my own sadness, because at least that's something I can control.
You can't cover up the past by digging up the ugly truth
Trying to find fault and blame in the past won't change anything or help us move forward.

I can't entirely erase my past or my flaws, but acknowledging them will help me grow and learn from my mistakes.
Close your mouth, nothing makes it worse
Sometimes it's better to stay silent and let the situation be, instead of saying something hurtful or unhelpful.
Not another word, put me in alone
I just want to be left alone with my thoughts and feelings, without anyone else's input or judgment.
Something that resembles me more or less or too
I'm not perfect and I don't want to try to be. I just want to be myself, flaws and all.
Nothing ever comes before you take responsibility
We have to take ownership of our actions and their consequences before anything else can be done to address them.
Staying up all night won't help you clear the demons in your mind
Sometimes we try to avoid facing our issues by distracting ourselves with other things, even though they won't solve the root problem.
But it's not your fault your sick
Sometimes life just throws unexpected challenges our way, and it's not necessarily anyone's fault.
And I'll spend my time blaming you for it
Even though I know it's not your fault, it's easier to blame someone else than to confront the true cause of the problem.
