About

The Cycle Of Pain is a somber, depressing track that takes a rich bass melody to go over mellow keys and a vibrant, synthetic cello. Mistakenly thought that the song is about someone X Vegas was close with, the lyrics for this track were actually inspired by melancholic quotes collected over the web and social media comments.

Info

  • Released on August 13, 2021

  • ​Fun Fact: This track took X Vegas the least amount of time to write, taking one day to produce, another day to write lyrics, and the rest of the week to record, mix, and release

Lyrics

[Chorus]

You taught me the meaning of life even when you couldn’t see the meaning of yours

This is it

The end of your pain starting the eternal cycle of mine

Your memory feels like a home to me

 

[Verse 1]

All the great things about falling apart silently Is that you can start over as many times as you want

And if I cannot be in your life even if it’s from the start

Then at least let me live very deep inside of your heart

It’s painful (painful)

Loving someone from afar

Missing out on the beach days and rides in my car

So whenever my mind starts to wander out of bounds

It comes back to you even when you’re not around

Watching them (watching them)

Stalk-like, from the outside

The familiar elements of their life reduced

To nothing more than occasional use

In mentions in conversations and faces

Changing in those photographs of places (places)

They exist to you now as nothing more than living proof on a wall

That something can still hurt you after a long time with no contact at all

 

[Chorus]

You taught me the meaning of life even when you couldn’t see (when you couldn’t see)

The meaning of yours

This is it

The end of your pain starting the eternal cycle of mine

(That’s the cycle of pain)

Your memory feels like a home to me

 

[Verse 2]

This cycle of pain that you’ve got me in

Sad one day, mad the next, just to happen again

While some of it may only dent and scratch the surface

The rest of it strikes me deep in my soul

Not to be dull but I had someone once who made every day mean something more

Now I’m lost and nothing means anything anymore

I miss (I miss)

That feeling of connection

Knowing you were somewhere near giving me affection (affection)

You were everything that I could ever want

But at the same time I knew that it was a taunt yet

I didn’t love you to seek out revenge

I didn’t love you out of my loneliness

I didn’t love you to become a toy for you to use

But I don’t have to try now ‘cause there’s nothing to lose

I would have stayed with you when you went through the insane

But you would’ve left me and wouldn’t have done the same

 

[Chorus]

You taught me the meaning of life even when you couldn’t see (when you couldn’t see)

The meaning of yours

This is it

The end of your pain starting the eternal cycle of mine

(That’s the cycle of pain)

Your memory feels like a home to me

 

[Outro]

You taught me the meaning of life even when you couldn’t see the meaning of yours

This is it

The end of your pain starting the eternal cycle of mine

Your memory feels like a home to me
