Lyrics
I'm afraid to shut my eyes.
The speaker is fearful of closing their eyes.
I'm shaking uncontrollably
The speaker is experiencing uncontrollable shaking or trembling.
And this life support is failing.
The support system in the speaker's life is deteriorating or failing.
All the phone lines have been cut.
All communication channels have been severed or disconnected.
This is not happening.
The speaker is in disbelief about the situation, feeling it's surreal or impossible.
It's this ocean that I cannot wish away.
The speaker is unable to escape from a challenging or overwhelming situation represented metaphorically as an ocean.
Goodnight sweetheart.
The speaker bids farewell to a loved one.
There is nothing more to say.
There's nothing more to express or communicate.
Things fall apart.
Things are falling apart, possibly referring to the disintegration of circumstances or relationships.
Hearts are broken every day.
Heartbreak is a common occurrence in life.
If only I had the strength,
The speaker wishes they had the strength to destroy the island metaphorically representing a place or situation that caused the loss of someone.
I'd burn that island to the ground
The island, symbolizing a place or circumstance, has consumed someone entirely.
For swallowing you whole.
The speaker feels frightened or traumatized.
And I am terrorized.
The speaker is haunted by nightmares related to airports and changes in time zones.
Airport nightmares and a change in time.
Observing the number five transform into ten, possibly signifying an increase or alteration in perception or experience.
Watch the five become a ten.
So hearts are broken,
Heartbreak is a prevalent experience.
Words are spoken,
Words spoken cannot be retracted or undone.
And you can't take them back.
Nights in unfamiliar places cause emotional turmoil, turning everything dark.
The foregin nights,
They twist insides
-And turn it all to black.
The difficulty in breathing and sleeping due to the end of a significant relationship or situation.
It's hard to breathe,and hard to sleep.
When everything we had is over.
-It's hard to breathe.My heart won't beat,
-Ever since you said it's over.
-So goodbye.
A final goodbye.
