The Normal - Washing Away

Copied!

Head is spinning but I'm motionless
Sun is hiding behind my clenched fist
I love trying on my anger fits
Someone's jumping off the Belle Isle bridge

Oh, Isn't that something?
Oh...

Someone's swimming I'm emotionless
Wonder what he means by all of this
Build my building filled with nothingness
All the while he's still on my list

Oh, isn't that something?
Oh, he's washing away

Isn't that something
He's washing away

Isn't that something?
He's washing away

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Washing Away" by The Normal is a haunting and introspective song that delves into feelings of anger, emptiness, and detachment. The lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous emotional state, with references to a spinning head, hidden emotions, and a sense of numbness. The song captures a sense of confusion and inner turmoil, with the protagonist grappling with their own emotions and the actions of others. The repeated refrain of "Isn't that something? He's washing away" suggests a sense of resignation and acceptance of the inevitability of change and letting go. The music itself adds to the atmospheric and contemplative mood of the song, making it a poignant and thought-provoking listen.
