Meditation
S O B S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let it consume me
Broken glass bleeds through me

I cover my skin in dirt
So I never forget

My life is meaningless
I let it destroy me
A bloody wall revealing everything

Where I used to see my reflection
I only see an enemy

One thousand birds
Block out the sky

I suddenly realize
I am not in the prison of life
I am in a hell of my own design

How can I escape from my own head?
I'm surrounded by useless shit, deadweight, and death.

But I still can't kill this reflection

As my head rushes down to the concrete
An entire world stands in front of me

300 men trying to kill me
They don't understand

Either way titan takes everything
And the pain builds monuments in glory

You want to search the world over for meaning?
You were born just to die and that's everything

Fuck

I've seen this land when the sun sets
The mountains trap me in my cell

I can feel the vessel careening
Titan takes hold of me

The last coin drops to the bottom
My heart stops
And I hear the sound increase

Hell





All life is suffering

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of S O B S's song "Meditation" convey a deep sense of despair and self-destruction.

The feeling of being broken and tainted is further emphasized with the line, "I cover my skin in dirt, So I never forget."


The lyrics then delve into a sense of nihilism and hopelessness, as the singer describes their life as meaningless. They allow themselves to be destroyed and their vulnerabilities exposed, symbolized by the line, "A bloody wall revealing everything, Where I used to see my reflection, I only see an enemy." This reveals a self-perception filled with self-loathing and a loss of personal identity.


As the song progresses, the lyrics take a darker turn. The mention of "300 men trying to kill me" and being trapped in a cell implies a feeling of being trapped and besieged by external forces. The mention of titan taking hold and the feeling of vessel careening suggests a loss of control and surrendering to an overwhelming power. The singer ponders about the futility of searching for meaning in life, as they come to the realization that life is ultimately filled with suffering.


Overall, "Meditation" is a song that explores themes of despair, self-destruction, and a sense of hopelessness. It portrays a journey into the depths of one's own darkness and the struggle to find meaning in a chaotic and painful world.

I am a mental health professional and suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. We are not immune to these types of problems. I understand this both on the intellectual level and on the experiential level. It happens to many of us. What I have found that has helped me is deep diaphragmatic breathing, staying away from simple carbs/sugars, exercise, sometimes laying off caffeine, getting proper sleep, and controlling my thoughts. It's more about controlling the brain than it is controlling anxiety. Don't upset the amygdala. When thoughts get the best of you, come here and listen to these binaural beats. I have an extremely stressful life and at times I feel like I'm at my breaking point. That's when prayer helps me. God bless all who suffer from anxiety/panic attacks. May you find peace and comfort. ♥

Thank you 🙏

This made me cry: thank you . Currently laying on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world (Fig tree bay in Cyprus) and my own brain can’t escape me.

Easier said than done for those of us who experienced severe trauma as children and suppressed the memories. I meditated for years and during that time still played out the powerless, self-destructive script I wrote when I was a child, until I found the right therapist and we figured out what had happened. Then and only then was I able to effectively address the problems, rather than simply trying to apply band-aids.

Justine Ollerhead

Why stay away from simple carbs/sugar ? Sometimes all I can stomach when I’m having a panic episode or extreme anxiety is toast , a muffin , crackers . Just curious ?

Leonie Cent

Who said anything about thoughts… ? I just have crushing anxiety which is painful.

If you are reading this I want you to know that anxiety is unfair, can sometimes be relentless and does not judge who it latches onto. But the good news is it isn't forever and the world is full of people who love, appreciate, and enjoy the fact that you are in their life = )
