Lyrics

There's someone inside me

There is an internal conflict or struggle within the speaker.

That softly kills everyone around

The internal conflict negatively impacts those around the speaker.

They don't know they're dead to me 'cause

Others are unaware that they are no longer emotionally connected to the speaker due to the internal struggle.

Intent never makes a sound

Intentions or feelings do not manifest audibly or visibly.

All along they found I strangled

The speaker has harmed relationships, particularly with those who learned slowly.

Lovers who've learned from slower hands

Reference to individuals who were in relationships with the speaker.

In these eleven minutes I could teach you what I am

The speaker believes they can reveal their true nature in a short period.


You're sick, sick as all the

Addressing someone as sick, implying moral or emotional illness.

Secrets that you deny

Hidden truths that the person refuses to acknowledge.

Sins like skeletons are so very hard to hide

Comparing sins to skeletons, difficult to conceal or bury.

You're sick, sick as all the

Repetition of addressing someone as sick.

Secrets that you deny

Repetition of hidden truths and sins being hard to hide.

Sins like skeletons are so very hard to hide

Reiteration of the challenge of concealing sins.


There's an art in seclusion

Highlighting the skill or strategy involved in isolating oneself.

Production in depression

Creating or generating something meaningful in a state of sadness.

If a stranger turns up missing

If someone unfamiliar disappears, this song serves as the speaker's admission of guilt.

This song is my confession

The song is a confession of the speaker's actions.

Tell the tales of the trail of dead

Telling stories about the consequences of destructive behavior.

Lovers learned from slower hands

Repetition of lovers who learned slowly, emphasizing the impact of the speaker's actions on relationships.

Losing self in myself

Losing one's identity in introspection.

Inner demons make demands

Inner conflicts or personal struggles demanding attention.


You're sick, sick as all the

Repeating the description of someone as sick.

Secrets that you deny

Restating the presence of hidden truths that the person refuses to acknowledge.

Sins like skeletons are so very hard to hide

Repetition of sins being compared to skeletons, hard to conceal.

You're sick, sick as all the

Repetition of addressing someone as sick.

Secrets that you deny

Repetition of hidden truths and sins being hard to hide.

Sins like skeletons are so very hard to hide

Reiteration of the challenge of concealing sins.


You're suffocating me, so very hard to breathe

Feeling overwhelmed and restricted, making it hard to breathe.

My mask is growing heavy but I've forgotten who's beneath

The speaker is wearing a metaphorical mask, forgetting their true self underneath.


You're sick, sick as all the

Repeating the description of someone as sick.

Secrets that you deny

Restating the presence of hidden truths that the person refuses to acknowledge.

Sins like skeletons are so very hard to hide

Repetition of sins being compared to skeletons, hard to conceal.

You're sick, sick as all the

Repeating the description of someone as sick.

Secrets that you deny

Repetition of hidden truths and sins being hard to hide.

Sins like skeletons are so very hard to hide

Reiteration of the challenge of concealing sins.
