IN-TROU Lyrics – Pause Flow

IN-TROU Lyrics Meaning

In this verse of *IN-TROU*, Pause Flow gives a raw and introspective look into his struggles with isolation, frustration, and feeling out of sync with the world around him. He begins by expressing an inability to write or express himself. This creative block seems tied to a disillusionment he experienced after encountering the philosophies of Nietzsche, a thinker known for questioning societal norms and exploring life’s darker realities. For Pause Flow, this encounter pushed him into a dreamlike state, as if his life itself had become an unending search for meaning, yet devoid of clear answers.

He longs for solitude, preferring to remain alone with his thoughts in a dark, private space rather than seek validation or comfort from the outside world, represented by stars in the sky or even religious guidance. The artist finds no solace in traditional sources of comfort or distraction—be it religion, substances, or society’s customs. Instead, he feels that society is tainted by hypocrisy and superficiality, and he expresses a wish to escape from a humanity he sees as insincere and corrupt. This creates a sense of distance between him and others, as if he’s disconnected from a “dirty” world and desires a pure, untouched space for himself.

Pause Flow then goes on to reflect on the toll his environment and personal journey have taken on him. He’s tried various means to numb the pain—perhaps drügs or psychological diversions—but none have succeeded in dulling his awareness of his own discontent. He compares himself to Frédéric (possibly referring to Nietzsche himself) and Foucault, symbolizing his decision to turn away from society’s conventions and focus instead on the intense introspection that has left him nearly speechless, even “mute” to the outside world. By seeking meaning in this way, Pause Flow portrays himself as someone rejecting shallow influences to find a truth that aligns with his internal experience.
