The Bright Side Of Suffering
ScarykidsScaringkids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd take it all
Take it all away
All the sorrow and the pain
I'm not responsible
You always say
But you need your space
Hey, is your heart still beating?
I can't stop the bleeding
I've lost you completely
Hey, gather all the heartache
I'll hold it in my hand
Just to lose it all again
If there's a bright side
To this suffering
Can you help me see?
It's getting harder to believe
You always said this
Would not last long
But it's gone on and on and on
And I just can't make it stop
Hey, is your heart still beating?
I can't stop the bleeding
I've lost you completely
Hey, gather all the heartache
I'll hold it in my hand
Just to lose it all again
They're right this time
I won't pretend to smile
Because inside
I'm black and
I am hollow
This time you've
[Repeat: x5]
Took this way too far
I'm sick
And tired
Inside
I'm black and
I am hollow
I'm trying to find
What's missing form my life
And the tables have turned
This life is only temporary
This life is only temporary
The Bright Side of Suffering by ScarykidsScaringkids is a song that speaks to anyone who has ever experienced a profound sense of loss or struggle. The song begins with the singer admitting that they wish they could take away the pain and sorrow that the person they are singing to is experiencing. The pain seems to be persistent and the singer feels helpless as they cannot do anything about it.
The chorus of the song is where the title comes from, as the singer asks if there is a bright side to the suffering that they are experiencing, and wonders if the person they are addressing can help them see it. The theme of the song is the struggle to find meaning in the midst of pain and sorrow, and the difficulty of maintaining hope when everything seems to be going wrong.
The bridge of the song sees the singer admit to being hollow and sick inside, and feeling like they are missing something from their life. The repeated refrain of "this life is only temporary" speaks to the idea that even though life can be difficult, it is not forever and that there is always the possibility of finding meaning and hope again.

I swear that if I could
I promise that if it were possible
I'd take it all
I would take away all the pain
Take it all away
Remove all the suffering
All the sorrow and the pain
Every grief and anguish experienced
I'm not responsible
I am not to blame
You always say
It's what you constantly express
But you need your space
You require your own time and freedom
And this always ends the same
This always concludes the same way
Hey, is your heart still beating?
Hello, is your heart still functioning?
I can't stop the bleeding
I am unable to end the flow of blood
I've lost you completely
I have entirely lost you
Hey, gather all the heartache
Hello, collect all the emotional pain
I'll hold it in my hand
I will carry it myself
Just to lose it all again
Only to lose it all repeatedly
If there's a bright side
If there is an optimistic aspect
To this suffering
To this painful experience
Can you help me see?
Can you aid me to perceive it?
It's getting harder to believe
It is becoming more challenging to trust
You always said this
It's what you frequently declared
Would not last long
It would not endure for an extended period
But it's gone on and on and on
But it has continued repeatedly
And I just can't make it stop
And I just cannot terminate it
They're right this time
They are correct this instance
I won't pretend to smile
I won't feign happiness
Because inside
Since inside of me
I'm black and
I am bleak and
I am hollow
I am empty inside
This time you've
This time, you have
[Repeat: x5]
Repeat this line five times
Took this way too far
Went too far with this
I'm sick
I am ill
And tired
And exhausted
Inside
Within myself
I'm black and
I am dark and
I am hollow
I am empty inside
I'm trying to find
I am attempting to discover
What's missing form my life
What's absent from my existence
And the tables have turned
And the situation has changed
This life is only temporary
This existence is fleeting
This life is only temporary
This existence is transient
