Deep emotional trauma and irreversible loss take center stage in this haunting exploration of grief and regret. The songwriter portrays someone struggling with the devastating aftermath of losing something or someone precious, leaving them as merely a "shadow" of their former self. The visceral imagery of breaking down and physical illness 😔 emphasizes the all-consuming nature of their pain. The repetitive desire to "take it back" highlights an obsessive yearning to undo what's been lost, while acknowledging the impossibility of such wishes. The lyrics suggest a person trapped in a cycle of depression, feeling permanently excluded from happiness and unable to move forward. The reference to the pineal gland and invasive memories indicates how this trauma affects both mind and body, creating a complete breakdown of the person's former identity and leaving them in a state of perpetual mourning.
This Loss
Lyrics
Itty-bitty, oh so pretty as I watch myself break down
Satisfying, as I'm crying, watch the vomit hit the ground
I am just a shadow of the man I once used to be
Everything I ever loved is always taken back from me
The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (it's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won't ever stop
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
There's nothing like the sound of screaming, looping up all in my mind
Horrid pictures of the past invading my pineal high
I am just a shadow of the man I once used to be
Everything I ever loved is always taken back from me
Always taken back from me
The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (it's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won't ever stop
This is plain to see
Been holding on too long to this tragedy
And it's time to be free
To understand what this path's been laid out for me
So here I am again
Happiness is a club I'll never be in
I'll never be in, I'll never get in
I'll never get in
Never get in
Never get in
The feeling of this loss keeps creeping
Ingesting any joy that I might find
It's tearing at my heart (it's killing me)
It's robbing me of something I once
Had to take it, now I hate it, it won't ever stop
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I want it, I want it
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, I wanna take it back
I wanna take it back, take it back, take it back
