Tigersuit
Raein Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These knives are softer than broken dreams
Blood and tears are on the floor
I can't remember a time when I was good at something
I wear this tigersuit 'cause I'm a fuckin' lamb
Blood and tears are on the floor
I start to lick 'em
They're my daily bread.

The mention of blood and tears on the floor further reinforces the sense of pain and helplessness that the singer is feeling. The line "I can't remember a time when I was good at something" suggests that this feeling of vulnerability is something longstanding and pervasive.

bands like Raein, PG.99, City of Caterpillar, Portraits of Past, Orchid, etc. - completely and utterly redefined what the genre "emo" meant to me. real emo until death

Wolfpunk

real screamo sound is darker (minor) than any bands that use terms in general called "screamo", which is why they're so melodramatic
