Lost emotion

Lyrics

Verse 1
I walk this blood-red avenue,
left everything I ever knew.
Born to be a tool, that’s all I do—
I keep my mind by seeing it through.

Verse 2
This day was loud, the city shined,
now it’s dust and broken signs.
Still their faces feel so kind,
like they’re saying, “You’re still mine.”

Chorus
Yeah, just this day—just this day,
let the past and future fade.
Yeah, just right now—right now,
raise a glass to who I am.

Verse 3
I lie to them, I lie to me,
drop everything and run free.
But somehow, warm eyes still see—
and they make room next to me.

Bridge A (dark)
Take and tear,
fake and stare,
hate and burn—
I wanna hurt.Yeah!

Bridge B (light)
Hold me close,
heal these ghosts,
heart to heart—
I wanna mend.

Chorus (repeat)
Yeah, just this day—just this day,
let the past and future fade.
Yeah, just right now—right now,
raise a glass to who I am.

Consideration

“Lost Emotion” portrays emotional numbness not as emptiness, but as a survival mechanism. The narrator keeps walking a “blood-stained road,” leaving everything behind, and accepts a destiny of living “as a tool.” That acceptance isn’t peace—it’s a thin shield against insanity: when life becomes unbearable, turning yourself into a function is how you keep moving.

The emotional pivot of the song is the repeated vow: “Only on this day… Only for now…” It reads like a ceasefire. The past and future—regret and anxiety—are suspended, and the present self is blessed. The choice of “bless” matters: it doesn’t demand improvement; it validates survival. Not “be stronger,” but “you made it to today.”

The city imagery reinforces this tension. The city used to be lively, now it’s ruined—yet people still wear warm expressions and accept the narrator. Even in collapse, something human remains: community, recognition, a gentler gaze. The narrator sees themselves as a tool or a liar; others still see a person worth holding.

The song’s core conflict is spelled out in mirrored lists:
“Take / deceive / hate… I want to hurt myself” versus “Love / care / lean in… I want to heal myself.”
This shows how external violence becomes internalized into self-harm, while the desire to recover exists with equal force. The track refuses a clean moral resolution; it insists on the messy truth that destruction and healing can live in the same chest.

Ultimately, “Lost Emotion” doesn’t preach grand hope. It offers a smaller, sharper resistance:
For tonight, don’t abandon yourself.
Forget the past, mute the future, and bless the self that survived—just for now.
