Voices
Reactor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

By myself but not alone
The lights are on but no-one's home
Not alone but by myself
(unspoken) Let's talk about my mental health
Not a drugged up fantasy
A paranoid reality
Found it hard to live with me
Hear the voices in my head (in my head)
Hear the voices in my head

Conversations in my mind
My other selves are so unkind
They say the things I'm scared to say
With silent shouting in my brain
They're trying to keep me going sane
Then the whispers in my ear

Hear the voices in my head (in my head)
Hear the voices in my head




Hear the voices in my head (in my head)
Hear the voices in my head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Reactor's song "Voices" discuss a topic that many people can relate to: mental health. The first line of the song, "By myself but not alone," suggests a feeling of solitude in the midst of people, and the subsequent line "The lights are on but no-one's home" intensifies this sense of detachment. The singer seems to be in a state of isolation, physically present but mentally distant.


The next verse, "Conversations in my mind, my other selves are so unkind," illustrates the inner turmoil and self-criticism that can compound feelings of loneliness and depression. The "voices" the singer hears in their head represent their negative self-talk and fears, which they are too afraid to vocalize. Even though these internal conversations may be hindering the singer's well-being, they also offer a sense of companionship by keeping the singer company.


Overall, the lyrics of "Voices" provide a window into the complexities of dealing with mental health issues. The song identifies a feeling that many of us can relate to, that of being alone even when surrounded by others. It also acknowledges the internal struggles we face as we battle with our inner fears and negative thoughts.
