Dusk
QuietKind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If this keeps up then I'll surely go insane
Maybe its better off left unsaid
Or then again maybe I was better off left for dead
Is this really what you call forever?
Chalk it up as one more pointless endeavor
They say it's better to have loved and lost
Sleepless nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
They say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one told me that this was the cost
Sleepless nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
How can I take any more?
How do I keep falling long after I hit the floor?
My mind's so crowded but I feel so alone
No direction but I know I'm still far from home
I have seen the...
Seen the break of dawn
That's how I know I'm alive
They say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one told me that this was the cost
Sleepless Nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
They say it's better to have loved and lost
But no one told me that this was the cost
Sleepless Nights I lie awake in my bed
Alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
I will survive!
I will survive!
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
That's how I know
I'm alive
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
I will survive!
I will survive!
My heart was ripped right out of my chest
But I still wish you nothing but the best
I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise
That's how I know
The lyrics to "Dusk" by QuietKind convey the emotional turmoil that one experiences after a breakup or a failed relationship. The opening lines, "I am held captive within my own brain, If this keeps up then I'll surely go insane," express the feeling of being lost in one's own thoughts, which can be suffocating and overwhelming. The singer questions whether it was better to have loved and lost or to have never loved at all, and wonders if the pain they are going through is worth it in the end. The repetition of the phrase "sleepless nights I lie awake in my bed, alone with the fucked up thoughts in my head," emphasizes the persistence of these thoughts, which can lead one to feel isolated and helpless.
The chorus, "my heart was ripped right out of my chest, but I still wish you nothing but the best, I've seen a glimpse of that sunrise, I will survive," underscores the theme of resilience despite heartbreak. The singer acknowledges the pain they have experienced but also recognizes their ability to move on and find healing. The final lines, "that's how I know I'm alive," highlight the idea that heartbreak, though painful, is a sign that one is still capable of feeling and experiencing life's ups and downs.
Overall, the lyrics to "Dusk" are a poignant depiction of the aftermath of a failed relationship and the emotional trauma that comes with it. However, it also instills a sense of hope and the idea that one can survive and move on from heartbreak.

La voz del vocalista es excelente, la guitarra se escucha muy bien. Aunque creo que están utilizando muchos sintetizadores. Tiene buenos Breakdown!
Veo que la banda es literalmente nueva, espero que lleguen muy lejos.
@pokerpartylol
For all of those wondering where the bassist is. The lead is their bassist however when they are playing he just sings, and they have it play over. Really good band to check out live. Just a bunch of good dudes making music.
