Song Meaning of “Stye” by Toys That Kill
With lyrics like “I’m so tired, and you know it’s real,” ‘Stye’ by Toys That Kill presents a real and raw story of the challenges one can face in life. The narrator seems to be at a personal crossroads after having gone through a rough patch and is now struggling to remain on the path in life that’s right for them. The lyrics speak to the sense of fatigue that can come from a general feeling of inertia and a lack of motivation, and suggest that a break is necessary to clear the mind and make the right decision. The narrator is reassured throughout the song that it’s alright to take a moment to stop, reflect on their circumstances, and make a different decision if it means leading a better life. In the end, the narrator is encouraged by a newfound sense of clarity and purpose to make an effort in the pursuit of joy. This song is a reminder that even in the darkest of times, the universe has our back and will help us find our way forward.
