Cover art for Lost To Apathy lyrics by Dark Tranquillity

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.
