Lost Iin Despair

Beautiful song, it’s about suffering and healing. “I cannot feel” When people go through incredible psychological trauma they become mentally numb. Similarly with the physical, if the skin is burned to an extent that the pain receptors are destroyed, the burn victim actually doesn’t feel anything. “It burns like fire”. Fire destroys, but also purifies. After the numbness of purification, renewal and healing follows. Just like a forest rejuvenating itself after a forest fire sweeps through. “Crush my hopes, grow my hate” This is the angry, agitated state which upon dissipation leads to clarity of mind. “Nothing is real… tell me it’s a dream” when people undergo great trauma they feel their situation is so bad that it cannot possibly be real, it must be an illusion, this can’t really be happening. Oddly enough this sometimes leads to a spiritual awakening of sorts, where the person learns acceptance and surrender. They learn to not take life too seriously, relax and develop a capacity to be completely, stoically calm even in life threatening situations. “Bury me in the sand” acceptance of death allows us to act not out of fear but out of desire to create and/or love

I love this song. It's well played and melodical. Perfect tbh. But yeah, i think the song is about a man, describing his loneliness. no home for me could indicate a bad relationship with a loved one? family, perhaps? a broken relationship, could have made him 'sad and bitter' mmhm. :)
