Discover the story of the song > Thank You, Pain – The Agonist

The protagonist in these lyrics is defending herself to a judge, who accuses her of ruining someone's life. She argues that she never intended to do harm, but the judge finds her guilty anyway. Later, she questions the nature of love and blames pain for preventing her from returning to some sort of divine source. The judge scolds her for being weak and blinded by human desire, but the protagonist remains somewhat defiant.
