Reconcile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These lyrics convey a sense of frustration and resentment towards someone who hasn't faced the same struggles as the singer. The first lines set the tone by describing a difficult environment filled with "unreceptive individuals" who lack empathy and intelligence. The singer then addresses someone directly, suggesting that they can't relate to the struggles that the singer has faced. This person has failed before but seems to be making the same mistakes again. The singer refuses to quit, even though others might have given up, and seems to feel a sense of superiority over the other person who has failed. The lines "there's nothing I can do to ease your pain. there's nothing I can say, you wouldn't listen anyway. you couldn't bear the load" illustrate the divide between these two people.
Overall, the song speaks to the experience of facing obstacles and overcoming them, while also acknowledging how difficult it can be to watch others repeat their mistakes.

You don't know what it is to struggle your way through, to come across, in an environment so full of unreceptive individuals, nothing beating in their hearts and not much going on in their heads.
You have no idea what it's like to push through and fight your way in a place where people are cold and unresponsive, devoid of passion or intellect.
could you take it up from here? you couldn't the first time. what made you think it'd change this time.
Can you continue where I left off? You failed before, what made you believe you could succeed now?
not even once did the thought of dropping out cross my mind, while you were out there blatantly exposing what you regret today. would you have done it any other way? well you can't.
I never considered giving up, but you were busy making mistakes you now regret. Can you change the past? No, you can't.
what made you think it's always going to be like you want it to? there's nothing I can do to ease your pain. there's nothing I can say, you wouldn't listen anyway.
Why do you assume things will always go your way? I can't make your pain disappear, and even if I spoke, you wouldn't listen.
you couldn't bear the load
You couldn't handle the burden.
