STATE OF EMERGENCY
Sihasin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love you madly but I'm not blind
I love you deeply but I'm not drowning
This ain't a game my heart is true
Scar tissue built but wound won't heal

This is a state
This is a state
This is a state of emergency

This is a state
This is a state
This is a state of emergency

I'm sorry

What's been said has all been done
The wind can't bend a smoking gun
Why is sorry never enough
Manipulated words deeply they cut

This is a state
This is a state
This is a state of emergency
Yeah

This is a state
This is a state
This is a state of emergency

Woe woe oh woe oh oh
I'm sorry, sorry
Woe oh oh woe oh oh
I'm sorry, sorry

I'm so sorry
All things bound to fall apart
Wasted wishes upon the stars
All things bound to fall apart
Wasted wishes upon the stars
All things bound to fall apart (How do we break through, break
Through)
Wasted wishes upon the stars
All things bound to fall apart (How do we break through, break through)
Wasted wishes upon the stars
Shine (How do we break through, break through)
Shine (How do we break through, break through)

This is a state
This is a state
This is a state of emergency
Yeah

This is a state
This is a state
This is a state of emergency

Woe woe oh woe oh oh
I'm sorry
Woe woe oh woe oh oh
I'm sorry





I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sihasin's song "State of Emergency" describe a situation in which an individual is deeply in love but at the same time, they have a clear understanding of the volatility of their relationship. The references to scar tissue and manipulated words suggest that the relationship has seen its share of pain and animosity. The repetition of the phrase "This is a state of emergency" is a plea for help and understanding from their partner, indicating that their relationship is at the edge of collapse. The repeated apologies from the singer convey remorse, but they are also indicative of desperation.


The lines "All things bound to fall apart / Wasted wishes upon the stars" suggest that the singer and their partner have had high hopes and dreams for their relationship, but they are gradually realizing that these hopes are unlikely to come to fruition. And yet, there is still a sense of hope in the call to "break through" and "Shine" at the end of the song, indicating that the singer is willing to fight for their relationship and work towards a brighter future.


This song speaks to the complicated nature of love and relationships, the highs and lows that come with it, and the tough decisions that need to be made in order to preserve or end a relationship. The bridge of the song also acknowledges the limitations of a simple apology, recognizing that the wounds from the past may take time to fully heal.
