No Reason
VELVETEARS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fucked up for too long
I wanna say sorry to my family
To the people who always helped me
Even though I was living so selfishly
I just wish they could see the things that I have seen
I wanna learn how to not harm me
I got this pain so deep inside
It drives me insane but it keeps me alive
I don't see a reason, never had a reason
To keep on breathing, with nothing to believe in
I don't see a reason, I never had a reason
To keep on breathing, with nothing to believe in
I was just a tweaked out kid
Didn't know I'd end up like this
Thought that sadness was just a phase
Now I'm paying to phase out every day
I ain't never had no direction
Used to look in glass pipes for reflections
Never meant to put you all through this
I just can't grasp why I fucking exist
I don't see a reason, never had a reason
To keep on breathing, with nothing to believe in
I don't see a reason, I never had a reason
To keep on breathing, with nothing to believe in
The song "No Reason" by VELVETEARS is a raw and emotionally charged track that delves into the struggles of addiction, self-harm, and a sense of purposelessness. The opening lines of the song express the artist's weariness with being "fucked up for too long." Despite this feeling of exhaustion, the artist is clearly in the clutches of addiction and cannot find a way out, which is evident in the repetition of the phrase "fucked up for too long."
In the following verse, VELVETEARS reflects on the pain and suffering they have caused their loved ones due to their addiction. The artist acknowledges the selfishness of their actions and expresses a genuine desire to make things right. However, the sense of hopelessness that permeates the lyrics makes it clear that the artist is struggling to find a way forward. The last line of the verse suggests that the pain they feel is all-consuming and that it's the only thing keeping them alive.
The refrain of the song, "I don't see a reason, never had a reason, to keep on breathing, with nothing to believe in" sums up VELVETEARS's state of mind. The artist is unable to find a sense of purpose or meaning in life, which makes it difficult to see a reason to continue living. The final verse of the song adds more context to this feeling of hopelessness. The artist describes their younger self as a "tweaked-out kid" who had no direction and thought that their sadness was just a passing phase. As they got older, they found themselves paying to escape the pain of living every day. The final line of the song, "I just can't grasp why I fucking exist," perfectly captures the sense of existential despair that runs throughout the entire track.
