Lyrics

There's a pain inside my head

Expressing emotional pain or distress located in the mind.

I found out my brother's dead

Discovering the death of the speaker's brother.

Buried my face inside the sink

Symbolic action of hiding or avoiding the reality, possibly through despair.

Drowning my thoughts with black ink

Using dark or negative thoughts to cope with the emotional burden.


Just know I could be suffering more

Asserting that the current suffering is not the maximum possible.

There's no such thing as a perfect score

Rejecting the notion of a perfect or flawless life.

Try to beat it, I don't mean it

Attempting to overcome the pain, though insincerely.

I don't mean it, I don't mean it

Repetition emphasizes the insincerity or difficulty in overcoming the pain.


There's a pain inside my head

Reiteration of the internal pain, now related to the loss of love.

I found out my love is dead

Discovering the death of a loved one, intensifying the emotional distress.

There is no point in keeping faith

Questioning the purpose of maintaining faith in the face of adversity.

Cause it don't ever go your way

Expressing a sense of futility as things don't go in one's favor.


Just know I could be suffering more

Repeating the idea that the current suffering could be more severe.

There's no such thing as a perfect score

Stating the absence of a perfect or idealized life situation.

Try to beat it, I don't mean it

Attempting to overcome the suffering, but with a sense of reluctance.

I don't mean it, I don't mean it

Reiteration emphasizes the inner conflict or difficulty in overcoming the pain.
