RED
Niila Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Day after day.
As if I'm unbreakable.
But I've never felt this small.
I like how they all.
See me as strong.
Cause then I belive it too.
I'm scared to admit they're wrong.
Should be a man.
But my eyes are red, red, red.
Should be a man.
But my eyes are red, red, red.
Scared to reveal the weakness in me.
It's like I could loose it all.
So I ain't the one they see.
I put up a wall to hide it all.
But maybe the things that I'm loosing are.
The people out side that wall.
And I.
Should be a man.
But my eyes are red, red, red.
Should be a man.
But my eyes are red, red, red.
Demons in red.
Under my bed.
And they won't let me go, let me go.
Only so long the dam holds.
Dark thoughts overflow, overflow.
Should be a man.
But my eyes are red, red, red.
Should be strong.
But I'm tired of holding on.
I'm hanging on by a threat.
I've never known it's okay.
To fall and break.
Should be a man.
But my eyes are red, red, red.
In these lyrics, Niila expresses the weight of the expectations placed on him and the struggle to live up to them. He describes how he carries that weight every day and feels like he is unbreakable, but at the same time, he has never felt smaller. He finds comfort in being seen as strong by others, but he is scared to admit that they might be wrong about him. He recognizes that he should be a man and not show any weakness, but his eyes are red, which could indicate that he has been crying.
Niila admits his fear of revealing his weakness and losing everything he has worked for, including the respect of the people around him. He builds a wall to hide his emotions, but he realizes that the things he is losing are the people outside that wall. He acknowledges that there are demons within him that he cannot let go of, and they are causing his dark thoughts to overflow. Despite everything, Niila is holding on by a thread and knows that it's okay to fall and break, but he still thinks he should be a man and not show any weakness.
Overall, the lyrics show a vulnerable side of the singer, who is trying to reconcile society's expectations of masculinity with his emotional state. The lyrics suggest that the pressure to be strong and unbreakable can take a toll on anyone, and it's okay to show vulnerability and seek help.
