Vanity
Surgical Dissection Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vanity is all I feel
Empty space, empty rooms in my mind
Dark clouds all around
Sharp sword of ignorance
Is slaughtering my mood

There is no hope, why should be?
But what did I do wrong?
Feeling myself like an ant
Dying in the sweet sugar water

Seeing no perspective at all
Sinking deep inside my pain
Trying to find my lost harmony
Something unknown changed
And I can not define the issue

I need more time to analyse
Or just to forgot it all




But one thing is sure now
She is definitely out of my life

Overall Meaning

The song "Vanity" by Surgical Dissection is a reflection on the feelings of hopelessness and confusion that accompany heartbreak. The lyrics suggest that the singer feels empty and alone, as if trapped in a dark cloud of ignorance that prevents him from understanding what went wrong in his relationship. He compares himself to an ant drowning in sugar water, suggesting that he feels overwhelmed and helpless. Despite these feelings, however, he also seems to be struggling to find a way to move on from his pain.


The singer of the song seems to be searching for a way to find closure and make sense of his emotions. He speaks of needing more time to analyze what went wrong or to forget it all, but he also acknowledges that the situation is not entirely within his control. The line "something unknown changed and I cannot define the issue" suggests that he feels lost and uncertain, unable to pinpoint exactly what led to the end of his relationship. Ultimately, however, the song suggests that he is committed to moving on and letting go of the person who is no longer in his life.


Overall, "Vanity" is a moving exploration of the emotions that accompany heartbreak, particularly when the reasons behind it are unclear. The song speaks to the universal experience of feeling lost, alone and overwhelmed in the aftermath of a breakup, while also offering a sense of hope and resilience in the face of these difficult emotions.
