SUFFOCATE
Love's Chokehold: Navigating a Suffocating Romance
Lyrics
I guess it's just the norm
Reflecting on the common or expected behavior.
You love then just ignore
Expressing a pattern of love followed by neglect.
But you call me on the daily
Notwithstanding the neglect, there is consistent communication.
Does your mind play all these tricks?
Questioning the sincerity of the other person's intentions.
Cause I'm stuck in the middle of it
Feeling trapped or conflicted in the situation.
And you say you want me barely
Expressing a desire for minimal involvement or commitment.
Cause I'll stay away and move on quickly
Considering distancing oneself and moving forward swiftly.
Pack my bags and head to the city
Contemplating a physical move to a different location (city).
Say we're just friends
Labeling the relationship as mere friendship.
And call this the end
Declaring an end to the relationship.
Don't talk to me
Requesting a break in communication for personal space.
Cause I need to breathe
Expressing a need for emotional relief and space.
Boy you're oh so suffocating
Describing the overwhelming and constricting nature of the relationship.
You say you'll leave
Pointing out inconsistency in the other person's actions.
Then make a scene
Highlighting dramatic behavior after claiming to leave.
Boy you're oh so suffocating
Reiterating the suffocating nature of the relationship.
I'll go out and find someone
Expressing the intention to seek a new relationship.
Then you'll say that I'm the one
Anticipating the other person claiming commitment.
Are you trying to kill me slowly?
Suspecting harm or distress caused deliberately.
I use to think that we were fine
Reflecting on a past belief in the stability of the relationship.
But then you go and cross these lines
Accusing the other person of crossing boundaries.
My friends were right you're crazy
Acknowledging friends' warnings about the other person's instability.
Cause I'll stay away and move on quickly
Considering a quick departure and avoidance.
Pack my bags and head to the city
Reiterating the contemplation of a move to the city.
Say we're just friends
Restating the relationship as friendship with an official end.
And call this the end
Emphasizing the finality of the relationship.
(Suffocate)
Repeating the feeling of suffocation.
Don't talk to me
Reiterating the need for a break in communication.
Cause I need to breathe
Reemphasizing the need for personal space.
Boy you're oh so suffocating
Reiterating the suffocating nature of the relationship.
You say you'll leave
Pointing out the inconsistency in the other person's actions.
Then make a scene
Highlighting dramatic behavior after claiming to leave.
Boy you're oh so suffocating
Reiterating the suffocating nature of the relationship.
(Suffocate)
Repeating the feeling of suffocation.
Don't talk to me (Don't talk to me)
Reiterating the need for a break in communication.
Cause I need to breathe (I need to breathe)
Reemphasizing the need for personal space.
Boy you're oh so suffocating (Oh so suffocating)
Reiterating the suffocating nature of the relationship.
You say you'll leave (Say you'll leave)
Pointing out the inconsistency in the other person's actions.
Then make a scene
Highlighting dramatic behavior after claiming to leave.
Boy you're oh so suffocating
Reiterating the suffocating nature of the relationship.
(Oh so suffocating)
Final repetition of the overwhelming and constricting feeling.
