Pulse
P.H.A.T.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
My mind is numb from pain
The rain pounds fiercely upon my glass
A smile I try to feign
Deep down inside it starts again
That feeling so new, yet trite
The pit of my stomach is tied in knots
A wave of shock, a realization
Of what has happened to me
My aching heart, though torn apart
Is the only thing that sees
Memories surface of better days
Yet, only of those with her
Yes, once again the pain is back
And I wonder just what we were
In the first paragraph of the lyrics from P.H.A.T.T.'s song "Pulse," the singer describes a struggle to maintain a facade of happiness as they are overwhelmed by pain and numbness. The imagery of staring with glassy eyes suggests a detached and distant state of mind. The pounding rain on the glass mirrors the internal turmoil and external chaos that the singer is experiencing. Despite the attempt to smile, there is an underlying sense of inner conflict and emotional strain that cannot be ignored.
The second paragraph delves deeper into the conflicting emotions within the singer. They describe a familiar yet unsettling feeling stirring inside them, evoking a sense of déjà vu or repetition. The physical manifestation of this emotional turmoil is depicted through the knots in the pit of their stomach and the tears clouding their vision.

As the lyrics progress, a wave of shock and realization washes over the singer, prompting them to confront the harsh truth of what has transpired in their life. The singer's heartache is palpable as they acknowledge the pain of their shattered heart, which remains as the only true witness to their emotional upheaval. The use of imagery such as aching heart and torn apart conveys the deep emotional wounds that the singer is bearing, highlighting the raw and vulnerable state of their being.
In the final paragraph, memories of happier times resurface, but they are tinged with a sense of longing and loss. The singer reflects on the moments shared with a significant other, suggesting that their presence brought a sense of joy and comfort. The return of pain and uncertainty in their absence leaves the singer pondering the nature of their relationship and questioning the significance of what they once shared. The lyrics capture a poignant moment of introspection and self-reflection, as the singer grapples with the complexities of love, loss, and the unending cycle of emotional turmoil.
