Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i think it's not fair
but there is no way to forget
even if it's the shot when we first met
i don't care if you don't care
you act as the worst for me
the play repeats every time
we've tried alternate ends
but the one i've best learned
needs only to lay down and stand still
you call it death, i call it just end
when the devotion is blind
even a sore seems a gift from god
you act as the worst for me
is the best for you
but i just don't care
because i can shape your body with a caress
but i can't change your mind
The song "Insignificance" by Architect's Eye seems to be about a toxic and repetitive relationship. The singer acknowledges that they are stuck in a pattern with their partner, and it is not fair. They cannot forget how they met, even though it was a painful experience. Despite this, the singer claims to not care if their partner doesn't care, which suggests a numbness to the relationship's problems.
The singer also realizes that what is good for their partner is not necessarily good for them. In fact, the actions of their partner seem like the worst thing for them, even though it may benefit their partner. They have tried to change the pattern of their relationship, but have been unsuccessful. The only solution they have found is to give up and accept their fate together, even if it means the relationship ends unpleasantly.
