If
Sufferer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it gone? Is it gone? Is it gone?
If I chase it, fall asleep and pray I never have to wake...
Is it wrong? Am I wrong? Am I wrong?
The moment has passed, something whispers, the dream has decayed…
Is it God? Are you God? If you're God…
Deliver me, carry me, leave me alone, let me sleep
I can't tell what I want
These lyrics from Sufferer's song "If" explore the transience of happiness and the fear of losing it. The singer questions whether the happiness they experience in their dreams is real or just a temporary escape from reality. They wonder if it is wrong to want to hold onto that fleeting sense of happiness and never wake up to face the difficulties of everyday life. The lyrics suggest that the dream has decayed and the moment has passed, leaving the singer with a sense of unease and confusion. The mention of God could be interpreted as a plea for help or guidance in navigating these conflicting emotions.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and uncertainty, as the singer grapples with the impermanence of happiness and the fear of facing reality. The chorus, with its repetition of "Is it gone?" and "Am I wrong?", reinforces this sense of confusion and doubt.
