No pain
Marcus King Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't be no last call
Don't believe I'm bragging
But I feel no pain at all
No pain at all
Always been scared of flying
The writings on the wall
'Cause I feel no pain at all
No pain at all
No pain at all
You hear those angels singing
In that soulful southern drawl
When you hear the church bells ringing
And I feel no pain at all
No pain at all
No pain at all
No pain at all
The lyrics to Marcus King's song "No Pain" convey a sense of freedom and invincibility. The opening line, "I fall off of that wagon," suggests that the singer is prone to indulging in recklessness or vices. However, they confidently declare that there won't be a last call or an end to their enjoyment. It's important to note that this line can be interpreted metaphorically, expressing a disregard for consequences and a willingness to embrace life fully.
The following lines, "Don't believe I'm bragging, but I feel no pain at all," emphasize the singer's ability to navigate through life without being burdened by pain or regret. It's almost as if they are boasting about their invulnerability. This could be seen as a form of escapism, as the singer refuses to acknowledge or let pain affect them.
The lyrics further explore the theme of fear and emotions. The lines "Always been scared of flying, the writings on the wall" reveal a fear of taking risks or stepping out of one's comfort zone. Yet, the singer warns others not to show vulnerability or weakness in front of them, urging them not to cry. This might indicate their own inability or unwillingness to empathize with others' pain, possibly due to their own emotional detachment or lack of understanding.
The chorus contains the repetition of the phrase "no pain at all," reinforcing the idea that the singer experiences a life devoid of pain or emotional turmoil. The inclusion of references to angels singing in a soulful southern drawl and church bells ringing implies a spiritual or transcendent experience. It seems as if the singer is finding solace or a sense of peace when these elements come together, further emphasizing their ability to escape from or rise above pain.
Overall, "No Pain" portrays a character who appears to live a carefree life, untouched by emotional or physical pain. However, beneath the surface, there might be a deeper exploration of the consequences of such detachment and the potential alienation from the experiences of others.

I fall off of that wagon
I make mistakes and give in to my vices
Won't be no last call
There won't be a final opportunity to change
Don't believe I'm bragging
I'm not boasting, just stating the truth
But I feel no pain at all
I don't experience any emotional pain
Always been scared of flying
I have a fear of taking risks or leaving my comfort zone
The writings on the wall
The signs or indications are clear
Don't let me catch you crying
Don't show vulnerability when I'm around
'Cause I feel no pain at all
Because I am emotionally unaffected
You hear those angels singing
You experience a sense of peace or serenity
In that soulful southern drawl
With a heartfelt and distinct southern accent
When you hear the church bells ringing
When you feel a sense of spiritual awakening or connection
And I feel no pain at all
And I remain unaffected by emotional distress
No pain at all
I am completely immune to emotional pain

The lack of views for this video validates what I assume of the majority's poor musical taste. Markus king blows pop out of the water. Hearing him on the radio up here in Seattle would be an absolute bright spot in my day.
