Anger
mothersound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to see what I've done
With all the years that seem to have gone to waste
And who do I have to blame
For all of my intent
When I chose to pursue an uncertain end
Trace the lines that melt into my face from all the
Hopeful lies of all I could accomplish if I
Half the time, half the time
And who do I have to blame
For all of my intent
When I chose to pursue an uncertain end
And I'm so tired of everyone around me
Promising gold when there's nothing for me
I've heard it all before that I deserve it
But it was never real for me
Waging war with myself
Losing track of time
Years I've spent in this world
A world that was never mine
A world that was never mine
I can try to forget this
Live as if it was only for the good of it
Like it was all intended
Nothing more than a summer worth of memory
I saw the future where I stood before the mountain
I saw the ending and it's nothing like I imagined
So cold, yet I can't seem to let it go
This heart wants to feel something tangible
My skin can't take anymore distress
It hurts in ways that I cannot express
Don't blame me for my hate and rage
Don't blame me for my hate and rage
The lyrics of the song "Anger" by Mothersound reflect on the introspection of the singer, highlighting the weight of their past choices and the uncertain path they have pursued. The opening lines, "I hold a mirror to myself, Try to see what I've done," reveal a deep self-reflection. The singer questions the years they feel have been wasted and searches for someone or something to blame for their intentions and decisions.
The lyrics explore the frustration and disappointment that arises from chasing an uncertain end. The mention of "Hopeful lies of all I could accomplish" illustrates the singer's struggle with unrealized aspirations. The repetition of "Half the time, half the time" emphasizes the theme of feeling stuck and unfulfilled, suggesting that efforts made have often resulted in a lack of progress.
The song also touches upon the singer's weariness and frustration with those around them. The line "I'm so tired of everyone around me, promising gold when there's nothing for me" implies a sense of disillusionment and a growing distrust of empty promises. Despite hearing that they deserve better, the singer believes it is all just an illusion, never becoming a reality for them.
The lyrics move towards acknowledging a battle within oneself, with the line "Waging war with myself, losing track of time." This highlights the internal struggle and the years spent in a world that feels foreign and detached from their true desires and identity. The repeated phrase "A world that was never mine" reinforces the sentiment of living in a world that does not align with their true self.
The final lines, "Don't blame me for my hate and rage," suggest an underlying anger and frustration that the singer feels, possibly as a result of their unfulfilled dreams and the inability to let go of the disappointment and pain. These lyrics reflect the complex emotions associated with the pursuit of one's aspirations and the toll it takes when expectations are not met.

I hold a mirror to myself
I introspect and reflect upon my actions and choices
Try to see what I've done
Attempting to understand the consequences of my actions
With all the years that seem to have gone to waste
Feeling unproductive and regretful for the time lost
And who do I have to blame
Questioning responsibility for the outcome
For all of my intent
For all my purpose and determination
When I chose to pursue an uncertain end
Opting for a path with an unpredictable outcome
Trace the lines that melt into my face from all the
Tracing the marks and signs of aging, influenced by
Hopeful lies of all I could accomplish if I
False beliefs of what I could achieve if only
Only try but trying gets you nothing, nowhere
Realizing that efforts alone don't guarantee success
Half the time, half the time
Often experiencing failure and disappointment
And I'm so tired of everyone around me
Feeling exhausted by the people in my surroundings
Promising gold when there's nothing for me
Offering false hope and empty promises to me
I've heard it all before that I deserve it
Having been told repeatedly that I deserve success
But it was never real for me
However, those assertions never felt genuine
Waging war with myself
Engaged in a constant internal battle
Losing track of time
Becoming unaware of the passing of time
Years I've spent in this world
The significant amount of time I've existed here
A world that was never mine
A world in which I never truly belonged
I can try to forget this
Attempting to suppress these emotions and memories
Live as if it was only for the good of it
Pretending as if everything was solely for positive reasons
Like it was all intended
Believing that it all happened as part of a plan
Nothing more than a summer worth of memory
Reducing the significance to just a fleeting memory
I saw the future where I stood before the mountain
Visualizing a future where I faced challenges head-on
I saw the ending and it's nothing like I imagined
Anticipating a different outcome than what actually occurred
So cold, yet I can't seem to let it go
Despite feeling indifferent, unable to release the emotions
This heart wants to feel something tangible
Longing for an experience that can be physically felt
My skin can't take anymore distress
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to endure further pain
It hurts in ways that I cannot express
Experiencing pain that cannot be adequately described
Don't blame me for my hate and rage
Requesting not to be held accountable for anger and resentment
Don't blame me for my hate and rage
Requesting not to be held accountable for anger and resentment
