Discover the story of the song > Pathetic Ordinary – Alesana

The lyrics are about a person who is haunted by their love for someone. In their dreams, they see this person's silhouette dancing in beautiful landscapes, but in reality, they are hurt by the person's selfish words. Despite this pain, they still kiss the person's skin and long for their love. The protagonist feels breathless and filled with agony as they try to scream out their feelings. They confess that they scare themselves with their intense emotions. They plead for the person to listen to them and hear their cries of love. The protagonist understands that their love is unseen and unattainable, like a fallen angel without wings. The person they love slips away from them like rain, and their desires are left broken. Despite all this, the protagonist still holds on to the hope of being in the person's arms someday. They continue to cry out to the person, even as they feel foolish for doing so. The protagonist's eyes open to the reality of their voice echoing in the wind, as they continue to scream out their love for this person. Ultimately, they are stuck in a cycle of longing and heartbreak. The lyrics describe the painful experience of unrequited love and the desperate longing for the affection of someone who may never see or acknowledge their feelings.
