On Deaf Ears
Spineshank Lyrics

The Spineshank song "On Deaf Ears" addresses an individual who has caused their own problems and is now looking for help. The singer of the song is not willing to assist the individual because they have become disillusioned by their behavior. The song begins with 'I am not the one that you believe in, I will not become what you conceive in' indicating that the individual has created a perception of the singer that isn't accurate, and they will not let themselves be manipulated by them. The singer further emphasizes their stance by saying 'You're the one who dug yourself a hole, and I'm not there to hear you cry for help'. The use of these lines implies that the individual has caused their own problems, and the singer doesn't want to be brought down with them.

In the second verse, the singer mentions that the individual has failed to live up to their expectations, and because of this, they have chosen to distance themselves from them. The use of the lines 'And I became afraid of what you are, And I have failed to speak my mind so far' indicates that the individual's actions have caused the singer to feel uncomfortable around them. They also mention that they no longer care about the individual's problems, indicating that they won't be showing any more sympathy towards the situation. The chorus repeats the previous statements and includes the lines 'Pulled you under, you will never be found', indicating that the individual has caused their own downfall and that the singer won't be around to save them from it.
