Capital Pains
Tempers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's just a way, feeling power
Watching other people's lives
Wishing that they were mine
I don't want it anyway
I don't even want it anyway, no
I don't want it anyway
There's a space in the night, where I tear a hole
Hands turn around me, and I go
There's a space in the night, where I tear a hole
Hands turn around me, and I go
I've got to chase whatever makes you feel better
I've got to break before I hit the line
Tell me what did you decide, that is missing from my life?
You don't want me anyway
You don't even want me anyway, no
You don't want me anyway
You don't even want me anyway, no
There's a space in the night, where I tear a hole
Hands turn around me, and I go
There's a space in the night, where I tear a hole
Hands turn around me, and I go
There's a space in the night, where I tear a hole
Hands turn around me, and I go
There's a space in the night, where I tear a hole
Hands turn around me, and I go
The lyrics of Tempersβ song βCapital Painsβ depict a yearning for power and a sense of control over oneβs own life. The singer spends their time watching other peopleβs lives and wishing they had the same experiences. However, this drive for control ultimately leads to feelings of emptiness and a search for something to fill the void. The repeated refrain of βI donβt want it anywayβ suggests that the singer is disillusioned with the pursuit of power and control and is searching for something more meaningful.
The verse βThereβs a space in the night, where I tear a hole / Hands turn around me, and I goβ is particularly evocative. It seems to suggest a transcendent experience, perhaps through drugs or alcohol, where the singer is able to escape their mundane existence and find a sense of release. However, this euphoria is short-lived, and the singer is left grappling with the question of what they are missing in their life.
βCapital Painsβ is a reflection on the human need for power, control and transcendence, and the ways in which these desires can be both fulfilling and ultimately fruitless.
