Learning The Lesson
Silver End Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I find myself able
There's no need to act just to be like them
The world has left them disabled
Wounded and left for dead
They'll face it over time
They have so many questions
They'll fall and start to climb
Confusion in them born
Without learning their lesson
The cleansing of tainted souls begin
No one will tell them they're sorry
Without consent they dug deep beneath their skin
Their mind is left disordered and blurry
Wounded and left for dead
Wounded and left for dead
They'll face it over time
With our relation torn
They have so many questions
They'll fall and start to climb
Confusion in them born
Without learning their lesson
Though darkness is strongest now
The power is in belief
A lighthouse to guide the way
A new break of day
A new break of day
A new break of day
A new break of day
They'll face it over time
With our relation torn
They have so many questions
They'll fall and start to climb
Confusion in them born
Without learning their lesson
Learning their lesson
The lyrics of Silver End’s “Learning the Lesson” depict a narrative about a speaker who aims to help someone regain their sanity. The line, “I’ll bring you to sanity once again if I find myself able” suggests that the singer has a certain level of compassion towards the person they are addressing and is willing to help them through their struggles. The lyrics also delve into the idea that conformity is not necessary, and being different from the rest of the world doesn’t make one disabled. The line, “There's no need to act just to be like them, the world has left them disabled” highlights this idea.
The chorus of the song paints a picture of a person who has been wounded and left for dead, but eventually starts to climb back up again after experiencing confusion and uncertainty. The singer acknowledges that this person will ultimately face their struggles as time progresses, but by not learning their lesson, they will continue to suffer in confusion. The song depicts a slightly optimistic message in the end, by suggesting that even in the darkest of times, one can find hope and guidance through belief and perseverance.
