Jaded
Ofln - Spiritbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I feel a silence underneath
In these valleys of blood
In these rivers of rust
Shoulder all the blame again
Mirror locked until the end
It was violent and rough
I was never enough
But what if I was stable enough to wind me down the road
Like a remora swims?
But what if I was inside a thousand lives to give my ghost?
It's never enough, it's never enough
And I've always been ashamed that I wanna
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I've never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
In my dreams all I see is a crimson key
Tethered by a falling string
Meant to turn in the lock for me
I can't leave so I justify
Interloper of confidence
Under pressure of influence
Not a curse that I caused
Never to rot
What if I was? (What if I was?)
What if I was?
(It's never enough, it's never enough)
And I've always been ashamed that I wanna
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I've never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
I know where I wanna go
But you know that it's too close
And you know that it's too late this time
And I've always been ashamed that I wanna
Fall into a dream with my honour
I've never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
And I've always been ashamed that I wanna
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I've never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Love is jaded
(What if I was?)
In the lyrics of "Jaded" by Spiritbox, the singer expresses feelings of loneliness and detachment from their own body. They describe a sense of emptiness and a heavy burden of guilt that weighs them down, as they navigate through the metaphorical valleys of blood and rivers of rust. The imagery of shouldering all the blame and being unable to escape their own reflection in the mirror conveys a deep sense of self-criticism and internal struggle. The singer reflects on past experiences of violence and roughness, feeling that they were never perceived as being sufficient.
The lyrics then explore the idea of yearning for stability and a sense of purpose, symbolized by the imagery of winding down a road like a remora swims. The singer contemplates the notion of being able to experience multiple lives to understand the essence of their own being better. Despite these reflections, there is a recurring sense of dissatisfaction and the feeling that whatever they strive for is never enough.
The theme of shame and a desire for escapism resurfaces as the singer talks about falling into a dream with their honor desecrated. The repeated mention of blood being jaded suggests a tarnished or tainted sense of self, further exacerbated by an inability to be truly honest. The singer struggles with haunted memories and a constant yearning for authenticity amidst a backdrop of faded recollections.
The lyrics culminate in a sense of resigned acceptance of limitations and missed opportunities. The singer acknowledges a desired destination that feels both near and out of reach, highlighting a sense of frustration and inevitability. The repeated refrain about falling into a dream with tainted honor and the contrast between love and jadedness encapsulates a complex emotional landscape of yearning for connection, honesty, and redemption within the confines of personal struggles and past traumas.

I feel alone in my body
I feel a silence underneath
In these valleys of blood
In these rivers of rust
Shoulder all the blame again
Mirror locked until the end
It was violent and rough
I was never enough
But what if I was stable enough to wind me down the road
Like a remora swims?
But what if I was inside a thousand lives to give my ghost?
It's never enough, it's never enough
And I've always been ashamed that I wanna
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I've never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
In my dreams all I see is a crimson key
Tethered by a falling string
Meant to turn in the lock for me
I can't leave so I justify
Interloper of confidence

And I've always been ashamed that I wanna

All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded

But you know that it's too close
And you know that it's too late this time
And I've always been ashamed that I wanna

I've never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Blood is jaded
And I've always been ashamed that I wanna
Fall into a dream with my honour desecrated
Blood is jaded
I've never found a way to be honest
All I know is a place where I haunted memories faded
Love is jaded
