The song "The Division" by Unprocessed explores themes of separation, guilt, loss, and the struggle for personal identity. The lyrics describe a sense of feeling disconnected and isolated ("I am separated") and burdened by guilt ("Feeling guilty"). The protagonist reflects on how their thoughts have abandoned them and their charm and ability to communicate with others have been lost ("Charms were lost and words were no more"). In a plea for connection and understanding, the speaker asks to be taken into the listener's secrets, suggesting a desire for closeness and intimacy ("Take me with you/ To your secrets"). However, there is a recognition of the need to separate as well, possibly due to fear or the risk of emotional pain ("Divide us/ To my own personal graveyard of emotion"). The lyrics also touch upon the sense of being abandoned by the world as the daylight dies, reinforcing a feeling of loneliness and isolation ("As the daylight dies the world will turn its back on you"). The protagonist feels trapped within the walls of someone else's reality, unable to dream or envision a better future ("I don't dream it seems/ I'm inside your walls"). The final lines depict a poignant image of the protagonist and the person they are addressing, standing next to each other but emotionally distant. The speaker is burning next to their own reflection in a mirror, symbolizing inner turmoil and self-abandonment. Meanwhile, the other person denies their existence and lives in a dreamlike state, highlighting the disconnect between their reality and the protagonist's ("In your effort of denying my existence/ Your dream is my reality"). Overall, "The Division" delves into the complexities of personal identity, longing for connection, and the emotional toll of feeling separated from oneself and others. The song creates a haunting and introspective atmosphere, inviting listeners to reflect on their own experiences of division and the search for understanding and acceptance.
