Wind-Up
Pity Sex Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't try and know me cuz there's nothing to know.
Wind me up and let me go.
I've got a headache again.
I've got all day to waste and an empty bed.
My head won't stop turning.
My head won't stop turning on me.
Dreamed I was functioning.
Can't understand anything.
Has the spinning gotten strange?
The lyrics to Pity Sex's song Wind-Up convey a sense of detachment and detachment from oneself and others. The singer is wary of letting anyone come too close or get to know them because there is nothing to know. They feel like they are just going through the motions, being wound up and set in motion like a toy. Despite having all day to waste and an empty bed, the singer cannot shake their headache and their head won't stop turning, causing them to feel disconnected and disoriented. They dreamed they were functioning but faded in the daylight, unable to understand anything. Perhaps the spinning sensation they feel has become too much to bear.

Don't try and know me cuz there's nothing to know.
I'm too broken to be fixed, there's nothing left I can give.

Give me the energy to move forward without any personal attachment to anyone.
I've got a headache again.
My heart is aching, and I cannot bear it anymore.
I've got all day to waste and an empty bed.
I have no purpose or motivation to do anything but lie down, and my loneliness continues to grow.
My head won't stop turning.
My mind is stuck in a spiral of dark thoughts that I cannot escape from.
My head won't stop turning on me.
My thoughts are punishing, and they turn against me.
Dreamed I was functioning.
I had a glimpse of happiness where everything seemed to be perfect, but it didn't last long.
Faded in the daylight.
My happiness vanished as soon as the sun hit my face and a new day started.
Can't understand anything.
I can't make sense of my thoughts anymore, and I feel lost.
Has the spinning gotten strange?
Have my thoughts become so overwhelming that they don't even make sense anymore.
