Mute
sins upon your tragedy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I burned my eyes.
I can't see why.
Do I know why,am I blind
It picks me up so high.
Turn down the volume it's so high.
After I burned my eyes.
I can't see why, do I know why.
It picks me up so high.
Turn down the volume it's so high.
Why?
The lyrics to Sins Upon Your Tragedy's song Mute are quite cryptic, but they suggest a deep existential crisis. The singer is questioning their own perception of reality and struggling to make sense of the world around them. The line "I burned my eyes" could be interpreted metaphorically, as if the singer has been blinded by some kind of trauma or emotional damage. This trauma has left them unable to see the world clearly, and they are trying to understand their own blindness.
The lines "Will I see why? After I burned my eyes" suggest a sense of despair and hopelessness. The singer seems to be asking whether there is any point in trying to figure things out when they already feel so lost and broken. The image of being "picked up so high" could be interpreted as a kind of temporary escape, perhaps through drugs or alcohol. But ultimately, the singer seems to be searching for answers that elude them.
Overall, the lyrics to "Mute" are open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of confusion, pain, and longing for understanding. The song is a reflection on the struggle to make sense of a world that can often feel overwhelming and inexplicable.
