Discover the story of the song > A Pain That I’m Used To – Telex

The protagonist is feeling lost and unsure about who he is and what he wants. He feels like he is being controlled by someone else's expectations and rules. He wants something that is real and true, not just empty dreams and illusions.

The lyrics talk about how the protagonist is tired of running around and wants something that he is familiar with, even if it is painful. He doesn't want to believe in empty dreams, he wants something that is genuine and authentic.
