Lost To Apathy Lyrics

The unsaid tone of weak despair
fail to resonate
frayed ends of our binding threads
will disintegrate
By laws our physique state
failure to communicate

None too sentient
Hear no, see no works its magic
Against all function

Ongoing choices
the trials will end
filter the nonsense
and laugh at what’s left
Indecision/non vision
what matters taken away

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon the battle is over
Lost to Apathy

So overcome with pointless tears
to test pain receptors
nothing matters ever here
put up a non reaction

These eyes will never see
covered up from reality

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon this battle is over
Lost to Apathy

The unknown world that you deny
no priority
Cannot fail if you never start
How predictable

I want to know
Where did it end?
for madness to start
Always the sceptic
Never be part
Introvertive /non descriptive
It matters not

Look at the shell that is you
Empty, fragile, weak
Soon this battle is over
Lost to Apathy

Pretty obvious meaning on this song, at least for those that have experienced or witnessed what the song is about (which I would expect would be everyone but based on the comments that is not so). It is about using apathy as a coping mechanism for personal problems and for the world as a whole. This song helps me personally to overcome apathy but it is still hard... for me, disconnecting myself from everything is something like an addiction, I know that I could do greater things if I let myself but in the short-term it is easier to just be numb to everything. Another song about this type of thing is Disconnected by In Flames. The sad thing is I know people like me that give in to apathy are the ones that care enough about the world to make it a better place, but their reaction to disliking things is to ignore them rather than changing them.

It's about giving up on life in the name of apathy when you're really just scared to try.

I like this song...

Although I don't agree with the sentiment...

I much prefer to be apathetic than empowered and motivated...

fucking love this song seeing them in 10 days yeyy ^_^ with the haunted:)

well the song. just like everyone said it's about being scared to try but even more than that, just not caring. I think (I said think.. it's my opinion, you don't have to agree) that it's talking about our generation and how numb we are to others and to the truth in the world ("covered up from reality") so we sell ourselves to fake and unreal things, materialism.. so all we have left is an empty shell, nothing within (empty, fragile and weak), because we stopped caring.

Yeah, i absolutely love this song too, well the message is pretty clear and you guys above got it all right. I love to listen to this song when i'm feeling lazy and don't want to do my homework or don't want to go and workout. Gets me motivated pretty fast.
