Indifferent
Soen · Indifferent
Leaving our past in that place
Throwing it all
I need to find a way
Out of this sinister maze
Standing aside
I know that what we had wasn't worthless
Now I have to learn to forget
But memories remain
Memories remain
You have me lingering on
Sunlight fades away
Sunlight fades away
'Cause you are already gone
But nothing feels as good as you
What I say is true
What I say is nothing you can deny
And do I really need you here
Just to ease the fear
That I'm all alone and empty within?
How does someone become so heartless
Ripping into my chest?
How does someone become so cold and Indifferent?
We rose and fell apart
Conquering what we had lost
Giving it all
We swam against the tide
Standing together as one
Searching inside
I doubt that every word was a promise
Doubt that every word was a lie
But nothing feels as good as you
What I say is true
What I say is nothing you can deny
And do I really need you here
Just to ease the fear
That I'm all alone and empty within
How does someone become so heartless
Ripping into my chest?
How does someone become so cold and Indifferent?
'Cause nothing feels as good as you
What I say is true
What I say are words that you can't deny
And do I really need you here
Just to ease the fear
'Cause I'm all alone and empty within?
How does someone become so heartless
Ripping into my chest?
How does someone become so cold and Indifferent?
Indifferent
“Indifferent” is about the cruelty of emotional withdrawal, but its narrator cannot quite reduce the other person to a villain. The relationship is over; memories remain, and the speaker knows that what they shared was not worthless. That admission complicates the chorus’s accusation that the former partner has become cold. The song’s grief is not only for the person who left, but for the version of the relationship whose meaning now feels impossible to trust. Were the promises real, or were they merely something the speaker needed to believe?
Soen’s lyric moves between certainty and self-questioning. The narrator claims that nothing feels as good as this lost love, then wonders whether needing the other person is really a way to escape being alone. That question pulls the song away from simple romantic idealization. Longing may be evidence of connection, but it can also be a response to emptiness. The repeated image of fading sunlight gives the emotional scene a slow, almost physical dimming; the relationship disappears not in a single explosion but through a growing inability to reach one another.
Metal Planet Music covered “Indifferent” as a new single, and Sonic Perspectives reviewed Soen’s *Reliance*. The latter offers album context rather than a verdict on this song alone. Its performance balances melodic clarity with the heaviness of the subject: the music can feel expansive even as the words narrow around one unanswered question. “Indifferent” is most affecting when it admits that the past can be precious and painful at the same time, with no reliable way to separate one from the other.
