Nala
Yendri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inside, it tears me apart
Outside, it's just hard
To realize the fact
That life's an aching act

At night sleep is hard to find
Because
That life is not perfect
And life's an aching act





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Yendri's song Nala depict the inner turmoil within the singer, as she struggles to reconcile her inner pains with her outer reality. The first line "Inside, it tears me apart" highlights the intense emotional pain that she is experiencing. She feels like she is being ripped apart from the inside and is unable to escape the hurt that she is feeling. The second line, "Outside, it's just hard", describes the facade that she is putting up to the outside world. Though she is suffering inside, she is trying to maintain a mask of normality and strength on the outside. The third line, "To realize the fact that life's an aching act", is a reflection of the singer's understanding that life is inherently difficult and painful.


The second stanza of the song delves deeper into the singer's struggles, particularly with sleep. She finds it difficult to sleep at night because she is haunted by the imperfections in life. She acknowledges that life is not perfect, and that understanding creates an "aching act" that she cannot seem to escape. In essence, the song is a raw and honest reflection on the challenges of life and the pain that can be experienced both internally and externally.
