I can hear your voice run through my head
The rhythm of my heartbeat still feel dead
Late night, Iโ€ฒm up calling you instead
Of getting any sleep inside my bed

Cursed to breathe out in each moment a mountain
I climb in my head (battle I can't win)
End up in the same place, no one else to blame
But myself anymore (I know that itโ€ฒs true)

But if I wasn't low, I could never feel high
If I didn't feel the pain, I could never feel alive
Know I only tell the truth so I see through all your lies
But we always love and lose, yeah, itโ€ฒs just a part of lifะต

I can hear your voice run through my head
Thะต rhythm of my heartbeat still feel dead
Late night, Iโ€ฒm up calling you instead
Of getting any sleep inside my bed

I can hear your voice run through my head
The rhythm of my heartbeat still feel dead
Late night, I'm up calling you instead
Of getting any sleep inside my bed

You deserve to be with someone else whoโ€ฒll treat you right
Not a project of a person missing pieces you won't find
And I wish I could take back all I said to you that night
โ€ฒCause I know pain cut deeper than what words can define

I wish you didn't leave me, I wish I didnโ€ฒt miss you
Could've took some time, put aside our fucking issues
You know I tried to fix this, it's too fucking late now
Bottle of the Henny to the head so I can lay down

But if I wasnโ€ฒt low, I could never feel high
If I didnโ€ฒt feel the pain, I could never feel alive
Know I only tell the truth so I see through all your lies
But we always love and lose, yeah, it's just a part of life

I can hear your voice run through my head
The rhythm of my heartbeat still feel dead
Late night, Iโ€ฒm up calling you instead
Of getting any sleep inside my bed

I can hear your voice run through my head
The rhythm of my heartbeat still feel dead
Late night, I'm up calling you instead
Of getting any sleep inside my bed

You deserve to be with someone else whoโ€ฒll treat you right
Not a project of a person missing pieces you won't find




And I wish I could take back all I said to you that night
โ€ฒCause I know pain cut deeper than what words can define

Overall Meaning

The song "Issues" by Lund is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks to the pain of a broken relationship. The opening lyrics reveal the intensity of the singer's longing for his former love as he describes "hearing her voice run through his head" and feeling as though the rhythm of his heartbeat is "still dead". The singer is unable to find rest and instead turns to late-night phone calls to ease his discomfort, unable to find solace within his own bed.


The following verses reveal the singer's internal struggle as he grapples with feelings of unworthiness and self-blame. He reflects on his own limitations and faults, acknowledging that any failures within the relationship were his responsibility. The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, noting that without the lows, one cannot experience the highs, and without pain, life cannot be fully lived.


As the song progresses, the singer comes to a painful realization that his former partner deserves someone who will treat her right, and he is not that person. He acknowledges his own shortcomings and regrets the hurtful things he said in the past. Despite wishing he could turn back time and make things right, he knows that the damage has been done and cannot be undone.


Overall, "Issues" is a powerful and emotional exploration of heartbreak and self-reflection. It captures the raw and poignant feelings that come with a shattered relationship and the long road to acceptance and understanding.

I can hear your voice run through my head
The rhythm of my heartbeat, still feel dead
Late night, I'm up calling you instead
Of getting any sleep inside my bed

Cursed to breathe out, in
Each moment a mountain
I climb in my head
(But I can't win)
End up in the same place
No one else to blame
But myself anymore
(And I know that it's true)

But if I wasn't low I could never feel high
If I didn't feel the pain I could never feel alive
Know I only tell the truth so I see through all your lies
But we always love and lose, yeah, it's just a part of life

The rhythm of my heartbeat, still feel dead
Late night, I'm up calling you instead
Of getting any sleep inside my bed

Being in love with someone who doesnโ€™t feel the same way you do. Youโ€™ll do anything for them but theyโ€™ll never do the same for you. Youโ€™ll miss them everyday but theyโ€™ll move on like you never existed. You give them all the attention, all the gifts they can ask for. Youโ€™re still left feeling anxious because despite all that you know your losing them. When itโ€™s over You do your best to keep your head above water and say your alright. Losing sleep and Lying in bed with your mind racing. Is it you thatโ€™s the problem? Will you ever be the same? Can you trust again?
You know your better off but the betrayal is hard to shake. I think love and I think forever. I hope and pray one day youโ€™ll meet the one thatโ€™s right for you. Iโ€™m still hoping I meet her too.

โ€œIf I didnโ€™t feel the pain I could never feel aliveโ€

This hits hard

it's poetic, You can't see black if you can't see white,
there's no good if there's no bad.

Lund is such a poet.
