Lyrics
On that day I finally saw it through wide open eyes
Reflecting on a past day when the speaker gained clarity with open eyes.
And on that day another autumn day I saw the lies
Another day in autumn where lies became apparent to the speaker.
And I said stop, cause I can't breathe
Expressing difficulty in breathing, a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed.
Let me take away the blinding light
Requesting relief from a blinding light, a symbol of harsh truths.
And I said stop, I can't breathe
Reiteration of the struggle to breathe, emphasizing the urgency to escape reality.
Got to find my way out of this circus ring reality now
Desire to navigate out of a distorted and challenging reality.
And I can't wait to shut it out tonight
An anticipation to block out negative experiences during the upcoming night.
And I can't wait to leave this all behind
Looking forward to leaving behind current difficulties and moving on.
And timelines blur the faces everything and all
Mention of blurred timelines and faces, suggesting confusion and disorientation.
And in the meantime I'll just fall
In the meantime, the speaker will experience a metaphorical fall or decline.
On that day I finally saw it through wide open eyes
Recalling a moment of clear perception with open eyes.
On that day I lost the sweet denial and saw the lies
Acknowledging the loss of denial and confronting the presence of lies.
And I said stop, cause I can't breathe
Reiteration of the struggle to breathe, emphasizing the need for escape.
Got to find my way out of this circus ring reality now
Continuing the desire to navigate out of a distorted reality.
And I can't wait to shut it out tonight
Anxiously awaiting the opportunity to block out negative experiences at night.
And I can't wait to leave this all behind
Expressing eagerness to leave behind current challenges and move forward.
And timelines blur the faces everything and all
Reference to blurred timelines and faces, emphasizing confusion and disorientation.
And in the meantime I'll just fall
During the meantime, the speaker anticipates a metaphorical fall or decline.
Let me know how to deal with screaming here in silence slowly drowning
Seeking guidance on coping with silent suffering and a sense of drowning.
I'm slowly drowning
Emphasizing a slow descent into overwhelming feelings of drowning.
Maybe I'll just take my pills that take away the laughter pain and all
Contemplating using pills to numb both joy and pain, aiming to escape.
Take it away it all
Reiteration of the desire to eliminate all aspects of emotional experience.
Please make me feel alive and real and take away this need
Plea to feel alive and authentic, seeking relief from inner emptiness.
And take these dreams that hold me down now
Requesting freedom from dreams that weigh the speaker down.
And I can't wait to shut it out tonight
Anxiously awaiting the opportunity to block out negative experiences at night (repeated).
And I can't wait to leave this all behind
Expressing eagerness to leave behind current challenges and move forward (repeated).
And timelines blur the faces everything and all
Reference to blurred timelines and faces, emphasizing confusion and disorientation (repeated).
And in my own time I will fall
In the speaker's own time, an expectation of a metaphorical fall or decline.
In my own time I might fall
Acknowledging the possibility of a self-determined fall or decline.
In my own time I will fall
Reiteration of the anticipation of a self-determined fall or decline.
