Strife
Trivium_(p) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out from deep within me
It burns within as my throat begins to cauterize
This negativity's leeching
Any shred of composure
Rationale has decayed and left me bound in madness
I starve for a balance unknown
This burden tortures me deep in my soul
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
How I yearn for the silence
For an end to the voices
The calamity grows and the deafness leads to disarray
Guilt buries me alive
In a coffin criticized
I shouldered the blame and dug this hole for me to lay in
I reach for calm
I starve for a balance unknown
This burden tortures me deep in my soul
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search has been all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search is all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
I've found that strife won't make the bleeding stop
Nor will it take away the pain
I feel like this search has been all in vain
And I struggle to find my way
The lyrics to Trivium's song Strife seem to express the overwhelming feeling of anxiety and despair that one can feel when going through a difficult time. The singer describes their inner turmoil using vivid imagery, such as their anxiety "clawing out from deep within" them and their "throat beginning to cauterize." They feel as though they are being consumed by negativity and that their ability to stay calm and rational has decayed, leaving them feeling bound in madness. The singer reaches for calm and balance, but feels burdened by the constant torture that they experience deep within their soul.
Despite the fact that the singer yearns for relief from their inner turmoil, they seem to understand that the search for peace may be futile. They describe strife as something that "won't make the bleeding stop" or "take away the pain." They feel as though they are struggling to find their way, and that their efforts are all in vain.

How I yearn for the silence

For an end to the voices
For the voices in my head to stop
The calamity grows and the deafness leads to disarray
The chaos is getting worse, and my inability to hear clearly is causing even more confusion
Guilt buries me alive
I am consumed by feelings of guilt
In a coffin criticized
I am trapped in a situation where others are judging and condemning me
I shouldered the blame and dug this hole for me to lay in
I am responsible for my current circumstances, and my actions have led me to this difficult place
I feel like this search has been all in vain
I feel like all of my efforts to find a solution have been for nothing
And I struggle to find my way
And I continue to have a hard time figuring out how to move forward
