Weak
Our Innocence Lost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bruised and torn apart
A self inflicted sadness from the start
Now nothings clear and no-one's changed
Hopeless - Anxious - Vacant - Focus
Fuels my paranoid psychosis
You're still smiling
For fear of finding
All's not well that ends well can't you see
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted
And stuck inside this hate hate hate filled memory
I just wanna burn burn burn all your photos up
Run run run 'cause I've had enough
I hate the way you've always known I'm weak
Welcome to the circus
Main attractions shame
The illusion is I'm winning at this game
Despite all being fake and so unreal
The show just carries on
Hopeless - Anxious - Vacant - Focus
Fuels my paranoid psychosis
You're still smiling
For fear of finding
All's not well that ends well can't you see
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted
And stuck inside this hate hate hate filled memory
I just wanna burn burn burn all your photos up
Run run run 'cause i've had enough
I hate the way you've always known i'm weak
Come on (x2)
It's just my psychosis
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted
And stuck inside this hate hate hatefilled memory
I just wanna burn burn burn all your photos up
Run run run 'cause i've had enough
I hate the way you've always known I'm weak
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be wasted
And stuck inside this hate hate hate filled memory
I just wanna burn burn burn all your photos up
Run run run 'cause i've had enough
I hate the way you've always known I'm weak
The song "Weak" by Our Innocence Lost delves into a feeling of vulnerability, brokenness, and frustration. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, painting a picture of a world that is harsh and unforgiving, where everything seems brutal and people are bruised and torn apart. It suggests that the sadness that permeates the singer's life is self-inflicted and has been there from the start. Despite everything that has happened, nothing seems to have changed, and the same pain persists.
The chorus expresses the singer's desire to escape from this crushing feeling of weakness and hatred that seems to be holding them captive. They want to break free from the hold that this person has over them and burn all the photos that remind them of them, and flee from the situation that they find themselves in. It's a desperate and painful cry to be free of the person and the pain that they represent.
The verse on "the circus" could be a metaphor for the chaotic and often cruel world we live in. Despite everything, people continue to show up and be entertained by the spectacle, while the "main attraction" is the singer's own shame. It seems like a criticism of the way people often ignore the suffering of others and are content to be entertained by their misery, instead of trying to help them.
Overall, the song "Weak" presents a raw and intense emotion that many listeners can relate to. It's a song that speaks of pain, but also of the hope of healing and recovery.
