Frustration
The Whip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frustration is over me
The spirals
are guiding me down
but a new deck
Has issued the sound
Looking... that I´m fading
Suspended by engines that lie
Taking away expectation
Giving the best that I can
Let it go
Everything is said and done
Let it go
Everything is said and done
As I feel my soul around me
Everytime I close my eyes
Frustration is coming in
Frustration is driving me
Desire, it carries me on
My exile has come and has gone
... clenching my fist tight
I'm taking a pass that still count
Washing the walls we have painted
I'm trying myself...
Let it go
Everything is said and done
Let it go
Everything is said and done
Let it go
Everything is said and done
Let it go
Everything is said and done
As I feel my soul around me
Everytime I close my eyes
It's cold outside
and it´s later than you think (x4)
It's cold outside (x8)
Let it go
The Whip's song Frustration is a powerful and emotive track about facing and overcoming personal struggles. The lyrics paint a picture of someone battling with feelings of frustration and despair, while struggling to move forward and find peace.
The opening lines, "Frustration is coming in, Frustration is over me," set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer battles with this intense emotion. The use of the word "spirals" in the second verse suggests a downward spiral of thoughts and emotions, as the singer feels overwhelmed with their frustrations. However, the line "a new deck has issued the sound" could be interpreted as a new beginning or hope, as the singer looks for a way to break this negative cycle.
The chorus, "Let it go, Everything is said and done" acts as a powerful reminder that it's necessary to let go of negative emotions in order to move forward. The lines "As I feel my soul around me, Every time I close my eyes" could be interpreted as a moment of introspection, where the singer is trying to find peace within themselves.
The following verse, "Desire, it carries me on, My exile has come and has gone" suggests that the singer finds motivation in their desires and has been able to overcome feelings of isolation or separation. The final lines of the song, "It's cold outside, and it's later than you think" could symbolize the harsh reality that time is running out, but also act as a reminder to value the present moment and keep moving forward.
