Ow My Feelings Lyrics

Cover art for Ow My Feelings lyrics by Periphery

Somehow I feel like this is the prequel (maybe the sequel) to "Jetpacks was yes!". In case you didn't know, JWY was about an immortal who outlives his wife, an entire city and eventually the world (and still lives). This sounds like the same idea except more about the character's growing existentialist beliefs.

Time alone reveals our fatal aspect of arrogance In life we're not the only ones free from the walls, I'm alive

Sounds like he's talking about being alive and alone long enough to see how the world became so destroyed.

Void the past, create the new Separate the few because I hold ability to lead astray Now living through every day on the path between the frozen lines

Now no one ever will know about this experience Will someone for one step back and gaze upon this world with my eyes

This is what really convinces me he's living every day and no one will ever know about him and no one can see the world from his perspective.

It could be one of those dumb emo songs about losing faith, but I see periphery as a band that goes a little outside of the box for that type of material.
