Ambitionless
Yendri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Friends are not your friends
Nobody who understands
You are alone
Forgotten and on your own

This is all a show
Everyone should know
Emotions aren't real
It's nothing that you feel





Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Yendri's song Ambitionless speak to a sense of isolation and disconnection from others. The opening lines suggest a loss of trust in friends and a deep feeling of misunderstanding, leading to the ultimate realization that the singer is alone and forgotten. This sense of loneliness is further emphasized by the repetition of "on your own" in the following line.


The chorus takes on a more existential tone, suggesting that all emotions are merely a facade, or a "show," and that they are not real. This idea of emotional detachment hints at a possible struggle with depression or mental illness, where one feels numb or disconnected from their own feelings. It's a poignant reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that there is often more going on beneath the surface.


Overall, the lyrics in Ambitionless are a haunting meditation on the disconnect that can exist between people, both in terms of interpersonal relationships and the internal emotional landscape. It highlights the importance of empathy and communication in truly understanding and connecting with others.
