Pro-Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To adjust and release
You bury the past and you know it will last
But it kills you just like a disease
Cope with the pain just to drive you insane
As you think of an easy way out
But you stop to a drink and you think to yourself
Oh, help is on it's way
Got the power to pull you through
Gonna take a big commitment, boy
When it's puttin' the hurt on you
Got the strength to lift you up
And get your feet back on that ground
Only you gotta save yourself
Cause they're lookin' to shoot you down
Stuck in a daze like a rat in the maze
And they don't give a fuck how you feel
Misunderstood but you did what you could
Now you're falling asleep at the wheel
Death has begun, so you turn and you run
And you give it your best but you fall
So you live for the day with a will and a way
But you're caught with your back to the wall
Oh, help is on it's way
Got the power to pull you through
Gonna take a big commitment, boy
When it's puttin' the hurt on you
Got the strength to lift you up
And get your feet back on that ground
Only you gotta save yourself
Cause they're lookin' to shoot you down
In flames!!!
The lyrics to Pro-Pain's song "Down in Flames" speak to the human experience of struggling with inner demons and external pressures. The first stanza describes the internal struggle to let go of past traumas, which continue to haunt and hurt the individual. The pain becomes unbearable and the individual contemplates an escape, but decides against it. The chorus suggests a glimmer of hope, acknowledging that help is on the way but not without mentioning the requirement of self-commitment to overcome the obstacles.
The second stanza then shifts to the external pressures that are often faced. The individual is in a daze, feeling trapped and powerless as those around them don't seem to care about their emotional state. The individual feels misunderstood even though they tried their best in the given circumstance. A sense of helplessness and fear creeps in, as death appears imminent. However, there remains a will to survive, to keep fighting despite everything that's against them.
"Down in Flames" is a song that many can relate to; it speaks of the human experience of struggling against oneβs internal and external struggles, and how hope and perseverance can still provide the courage to face the obstacles.
Line by Line Meaning
Deep in the minds of us all is a need or a call
There is a common desire in humans to change and let go
To adjust and release
To adapt and move on
You bury the past and you know it will last
You attempt to forget old wounds but they still linger
But it kills you just like a disease
The emotional pain can be just as deadly as a physical illness
Cope with the pain just to drive you insane
Trying to deal with it alone can be maddening
As you think of an easy way out
Suicidal thoughts can creep in as a way to escape
But you stop to a drink and you think to yourself
Taking a moment to question your actions
"And so this is what life is about?"
Reflecting on the purpose of existence
Oh, help is on it's way
Assistance will come
Got the power to pull you through
The strength to overcome is there
Gonna take a big commitment, boy
It won't be easy, but it can be done with effort
When it's puttin' the hurt on you
When life gets tough
Got the strength to lift you up
You have the capability to rise above
And get your feet back on that ground
To stabilize and regain footing
Only you gotta save yourself
Ultimately, it's up to you to find your inner power
Cause they're lookin' to shoot you down
Negative people will try to bring you down
Stuck in a daze like a rat in the maze
Feeling trapped and directionless
And they don't give a fuck how you feel
Other people don't care about your emotions
Misunderstood but you did what you could
Others may not understand your efforts
Now you're falling asleep at the wheel
Losing energy and motivation
Death has begun, so you turn and you run
Feeling overwhelmed and scared
And you give it your best but you fall
Trying your hardest but still struggling
So you live for the day with a will and a way
Focusing on the present with determination
But you're caught with your back to the wall
Feeling stuck and helpless
In flames!!!
The intense emotions and struggles can feel like they're consuming you
