Detatched
September Stories Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I still feel alone
Like everyone can see through me
But no one can really see me
We weren't made to blend,
But to thrive on our differences
These thoughts creep up from the back of my skull
In the part where I tucked my favorite little picture of you
But maybe for the best
I just wish I could say the same for you
It all ends the same
There you still remain
Through dark I'll follow you
Am I the me that you knew
Writing seems to be the only time when I take honesty as my first
Writing of lost love and lost attainment
Everything lost but I'll never forget how we tried
I'll never forget how you looked at me with those eyes
Those eyes that tired of me before I could let go
That image of you stained into my brain
It's taken years to forget,
But all it's brought is clarity
It all ends the same
There you still remain
Through dark I'll follow you
Am I the me that you knew
The lyrics of Detached by September Stories speak of a deep sense of loneliness and detachment even amongst a crowd of people. The singer confesses that they feel invisible and vulnerable, as if no one can truly see them. However, the lyrics also suggest that this sense of detachment is a product of our society's desire to fit in and blend with the crowd, whereas human beings were designed to embrace their differences and unique qualities. The singer contrasts their own feelings of disconnection with the image of an old photograph of someone they once knew, perhaps a former lover or friend. They express a sense of disappointment that they could not maintain a connection with this person, just as they are unable to connect with those around them currently.
The second verse suggests that the act of writing is a source of solace for the singer, and the honest emotions that come with it are cathartic. The lyrics reflect on lost love and lost opportunities, but the writer also acknowledges the effort that was made in trying to make something work. The singer remembers the way that this person looked at them with tired eyes and the weight of this memory has lingered for years. Despite this, the singer has gained a sense of clarity, even if it was at the cost of letting go of the past.

Even through a crowd of a hundred people
Despite being surrounded by people, I still feel alone
I still feel alone
I am not able to connect with anyone despite trying
Like everyone can see through me
I feel like I am transparent and people can read me easily
But no one can really see me
Despite my transparency, people cannot understand my true feelings
We weren't made to blend,
We were not meant to be like everyone else
But to thrive on our differences
Our uniqueness is what makes us special and helps us grow
These thoughts creep up from the back of my skull
These thoughts are persistent and hard to shake off
In the part where I tucked my favorite little picture of you
These thoughts are associated with a cherished memory
Taken on a day long forgotten,
The memory is from a distant past
But maybe for the best
Maybe it's better that the memory is fading away
I just wish I could say the same for you
I wish you were also fading away from my memory
It all ends the same
No matter what happens, it always ends in the same manner
There you still remain
Your presence is still there even though you are physically gone
Through dark I'll follow you
I will always be there for you, even when times are hard
Am I the me that you knew
I wonder if I am the same person to you, after all these years
Writing seems to be the only time when I take honesty as my first
I am able to express myself truthfully only through writing
Writing of lost love and lost attainment
I write about my experiences of losing love and opportunities
Everything lost but I'll never forget how we tried
I may have lost everything, but I remember how hard we both tried
I'll never forget how you looked at me with those eyes
Your memory is etched in my mind, especially the way you looked at me
Those eyes that tired of me before I could let go
Your eyes reflected your feelings towards me, and you moved on before I could
That image of you stained into my brain
Your image is permanently etched in my memory
It's taken years to forget,
It has taken me a long time to try and forget
But all it's brought is clarity
Despite the pain, it has helped me see things clearly
