Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pills forgot to take their shame
Give a new high or brain
To you it's last year's game
Flush out my eyes to see again
Broke my ribs to make a friend
The cash is bleeding for you to spend it
You know he'll sell to you too
Clutch your gut 'til your jaw shuts
Wiggle out your eyes for a while
Roll around in your dead smile
Flush out my eyes to see again
Broke my ribs to make a friend
The cash is bleeding for you to spend it
You know he'll sell to you too
In the song "Nameless" by whispergun, the lyrics convey a sense of detachment, self-destruction, and the commodification of pain. The opening line, "Can't remember my name," suggests a loss of identity, perhaps due to a chaotic lifestyle or substance abuse. The reference to pills that "forgot to take their shame" implies a reliance on drugs to escape or numb the pain.
The lyrics then delve into the theme of seeking temporary highs or distractions to dull the senses. The line "Give a new high or brain" suggests a desire for something that can provide relief or alter one's state of mind. However, the reference to it being "last year's game" suggests that these temporary escapes are ultimately futile or feel outdated.
The lines "Flush out my eyes to see again" and "Broke my ribs to make a friend" can be interpreted metaphorically. They could represent a willingness to inflict physical or emotional pain on oneself in order to feel alive or connected to someone or something. The mention of cash bleeding and the implication of someone selling pain further highlight the commercialization or exploitation of suffering.
Overall, the lyrics in "Nameless" paint a picture of a person who is lost and searching for any means to feel something, even if it involves self-destruction or seeking out external sources of pain. It signifies a state of numbness, the longing for connection, and the complexity of finding meaning in a world that often commodifies and exploits emotions.
