PITY

NOAHFINNCE's song 'PITY' delves into the complex emotions of anger, self-destruction, and societal expectations. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is initially pitied by others but eventually becomes a source of fear and disappointment. The repeated line, 'They pitied you until your hands grew weapons,' suggests a transformation from a victim to someone who has internalized their pain and turned it into aggression. This shift highlights the destructive potential of unaddressed emotional turmoil.

The song also touches on the theme of unlearned lessons and the cyclical nature of self-destructive behavior. Lines like 'Pity that you couldn't learn your lesson' and 'We're heading in the wrong direction' emphasize a sense of inevitability and frustration. The protagonist seems trapped in a loop of making the same mistakes, unable to break free from their destructive patterns. This is further underscored by the rhetorical question, 'What's the point in being dumber than your father and your mother if we never ask the questions then we'll never learn our lesson,' which criticizes the lack of introspection and growth.

NOAHFINNCE's raw and candid lyrics also explore the superficial judgments people make based on appearances. The juxtaposition of 'Oh, what a pity, you're oh, so pretty, you're pretty shitty' highlights the disconnect between external perceptions and internal realities. The song suggests that societal pity is often shallow and fleeting, failing to address the deeper issues at play. The repeated refrain of 'We're in the wrong direction' serves as a poignant reminder of the need for self-awareness and change to break free from this cycle of pity and self-destruction.
