Limber
Living Syndication Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hate you've taken in
My place in dirt to help
You expiate your sin
Worthless inside
My place to hide
You're bringing me down
I'll take the pain
You trip me up
With all the pain you keep within
Your guilty thirst to give me hate
I drink it in
I'm feeling numb with discontent
Your feelings wrapped up into mine
This shoulder's useless (live again)
The feeling's numb inside.
The lyrics to Living Syndication's song Limber appear to be about a toxic relationship in which one person is pouring all of their hate and pain onto the other, using them as a vessel to expiate their sin. The singer is asking to be filled up with this hate and pain, seemingly willing to take it on in order to try and help the other person.
The second stanza suggests that the person pouring out all of their negativity is causing the singer to feel worthless and bringing them down. Despite this, the singer declares that they will "take the pain" anyway. The other person is described as tripping up the singer with all the pain they keep within, using them to satisfy a guilty thirst for revenge or hate.
The final stanza speaks to a sense of numbness and detachment. The singer describes feeling numb with discontent and having their own feelings wrapped up with those of the other person. The shoulder that might have been there to lean on is now "useless" and the feeling inside is numb. Overall, the lyrics seem to be about the toll that a toxic relationship can take on someone, even as they try to help the other person.
