Breaking Myself: A Struggle for Survival
Lyrics
I've seen it turn from white to red
The situation has transitioned from calm ("white") to intense or dangerous ("red").
I've heard you talk about how
Heard discussions about personal suffering or struggles.
You bleed and it doesn't mean shit
The person speaking feels that others talking about their pain isn't impactful until they see action or evidence.
Until I see some action a hint of
A slight indication of hope ("hint of rose") amidst a substantial amount of negativity or worthless things.
Rose and a mountain of garbage
Feeling abandoned or ignored and left in a desolate state.
Leaves me for dead and nothing drags me from
Nothing motivates the speaker to move from this desolation.
Breaking myself
Struggling or harming oneself physically or emotionally.
Breaking myself to try to keep everyone
Continuously harming oneself to prevent others from taking advantage.
From walking over me
Attempting to avoid being used or mistreated by others.
Smell the burning wreckage of even you
Sensing destruction and chaos even within someone considered perfect.
All of your perfection lets get inside
Suggesting a desire to explore someone's flaws or hidden aspects.
The bag turn it 180 degrees
Symbolically wanting to change perspectives or perceptions drastically.
Forget we even met cause it all comes
Wishing to erase any memory or connection due to disillusionment or disappointment.
Down to this the good ones always
The speaker feels that good people often leave in the end.
Leave in the end
Repeatedly harming oneself emotionally or physically.
Breaking myself
Continuing to harm oneself to avoid being taken advantage of.
Breaking myself to try to keep everyone
Similar to line 8, protecting oneself from exploitation or mistreatment.
From walking over me
Perceiving the world in a melancholic or sad manner (often associated with feeling down).
I see the world and it all looks blue
Feeling a genuine connection or truthfulness with the world when interacting with it.
I kiss the world and it all tastes true
Appearances affected by blurred vision are seen as attractive in a conventional sense.
The blurry eyes make me appealing
Predicting increased familiarity or comfort after a few encounters.
In a normal fashion another 2 or 3
Implies that someone's demise or downfall is captivating or alluring.
You will become very friendly
Your self-destruction or downfall is enticing or attractive.
Your liquidation is a siren song
Metaphorically referring to self-destruction as an appealing song or lure.
You swim I follow I'm feeling my head sink
Following someone deeper into their problems or troubles.
So as to reach and touch what hurts me
A desire to confront or understand personal pain or issues.
Still I try to reach and touch what hurts me
Persisting efforts to face or understand personal pain despite challenges.
