Scorned

Hypnogaja's song 'Scorned' delves into the emotional turmoil and psychological pain of being disregarded and mistreated by someone close. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is acutely aware of the disdain and contempt directed towards them, yet chooses to stand their ground rather than flee. This act of standing still in the face of hostility symbolizes resilience and a refusal to be diminished by the scorn of others.

The song's imagery is rich with metaphors that convey the depth of the protagonist's suffering. The 'darkness' that 'uncovers all of the pain and lies' suggests a revelation of hidden truths and the emotional scars inflicted by deceit. The 'shining' that comes from denial indicates a false sense of clarity or righteousness that the antagonist clings to, despite the underlying dishonesty. The repeated phrase 'Here I stand, completely ignored' underscores the protagonist's sense of invisibility and the emotional isolation they experience.

The chorus, with its powerful lines 'Confused and naked, the curtain is torn,' evokes a sense of vulnerability and exposure. The 'curtain' symbolizes the facade that has been stripped away, revealing the raw and unfiltered emotions beneath. The protagonist's declaration that 'It doesn't matter if you let me be, it doesn't matter 'cause you still can't see me' highlights the futility of seeking validation from someone who is willfully blind to their pain. This song is a poignant exploration of the themes of rejection, resilience, and the quest for self-worth in the face of scorn and indifference.
