TR/ST Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unnecessary, you'll always care
Convinced to save them, we stay in the back
Unnecessary, whenever
We move down the bar, all warnings for the night
Then disassembled hearts sigh
Show me again, shame takes hold
Jump straight to the start, shameless hope
Was lovely to stay
Oh, right and slow
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Down and low
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Right and slow
Now all of us want to see you smile
You stray to survive, you stray too slow
So glad to stay, and now
That moment in time when shame took hold
Was burdened to stay
Show me again, shame takes hold
Was lovely to stay, and now
Jump straight to the start, shameless hope
Was lovely to stay
Oh, right and slow
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Down and low
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Right and slow
Now all of us want to see you smile
Stay, stay, stay close to me
Stay, stay, stay close to me
Show me again, shame takes hold
The lyrics to TR/ST’s song Iris delve deep into themes of shame, survival, and the emotional complexities of human relationships. The opening lines, “Now I've lost this feeling, I'm thinning out, Unnecessary, you'll always care” suggest a sense of emotional disconnection and detachment. The singer has lost their ability to feel deeply and they consider themselves as unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, but the idea of someone caring for them still rings true. This dichotomy of detachment and desire for connection runs throughout the song, and is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer urges the subject of the song to stay close: “Stay, stay, stay close to me, Stay, stay, stay close to me.”
The idea of shame is also a prominent theme, as the singer speaks of being burdened and convinced to save others, holding on to “shameless hope” and reveling in “jumping straight to the start” even as they feel burdened by their past actions. Overall, the lyrics to Iris paint a picture of emotional complexity and the struggle to maintain connections even as we grapple with our own inner demons.

Now I've lost this feeling, I'm thinning out
I no longer feel the same way and I am fading away
Unnecessary, you'll always care
My presence is not required, but you will still take care of me
Convinced to save them, we stay in the back
We believe that we can help others and choose to stay in the background
Unnecessary, whenever
My presence is not needed at any time
We move down the bar, all warnings for the night
We ignore all the precautions and move down the bar for the night
Then disassembled hearts sigh
Broken hearts let out a sad sound
Show me again, shame takes hold
I need another reminder of my shame
Was lovely to stay, and now
It was pleasant to stay, but now it is not
Jump straight to the start, shameless hope
Let's start fresh with hope and without shame
Oh, right and slow
Feeling confident and taking it easy
Down and low
Feeling sad and hopeless
Now all of us want to see you smile
We all hope to see you happy
You stray to survive, you stray too slow
You are trying to survive by staying away, but you are doing it too slowly
So glad to stay, and now
It was great to stay, but not anymore
That moment in time when shame took hold
The time when I felt ashamed
Was burdened to stay
It was difficult to stay
Stay, stay, stay close to me
Please stay near me
