Despondency
Unveiling the Struggle: "Despondency" by As Everything Unfolds
Lyrics
Say you want this, don't cave in
Suggesting not to yield under pressure or temptation.
Save our souls from this desperate hole
Plea to rescue their spirits from a desperate situation.
Don't say you want this control
Advising against expressing a desire for control.
I won't ever let this be untold
Commitment to never keep something hidden or undisclosed.
Don't say you want this
Reiterating the warning not to express a false desire.
Don't say you want this when you don't
Emphasizing not to claim a desire that is not genuine.
You're pushing us further, don't you know
Pointing out the negative impact of someone's actions on the speaker and others.
Grinding us down till we're nothing but low
Describing the relentless pressure causing a sense of worthlessness.
Don't say you want this, don't you dare
Reiterating the plea not to express a false desire.
Don't you
Interrupting the plea, possibly indicating a refusal.
I've worked so hard in envy
Expressing the speaker's hard work tainted by envy.
To try and prove my worthy
Efforts to prove one's worthiness.
You're nothing but depending
Characterizing someone as dependent and needy.
On the heart that I am lending
Highlighting the emotional investment in the relationship.
Take my soul and I'll take yours too
Symbolic exchange of souls, expressing a deep connection.
I'm done
Indicating a sense of finality or exhaustion.
You're pushing us further, don't you know
Repetition of the negative impact of actions on the speaker and others.
Grinding us down till we're nothing but low
Describing the continuous degradation until feeling worthless.
Don't say you want this, don't you
Reiterating the plea not to express a false desire.
You're pushing us further, don't you know
Repetition of the negative impact of actions on the speaker and others.
Grinding us down till we're nothing but low
Describing the continuous degradation until feeling worthless.
Don't say you want this, don't you dare
Reiterating the plea not to express a false desire.
I'm not here to save the world
Rejecting the role of a savior for the world, focusing on personal struggles.
I'm trying to brave all my own desires
Acknowledging personal challenges and desires.
Take this pain and save yourself
Suggesting the transfer of pain for self-preservation.
Infinite time we waste
Commenting on the seemingly endless investment of time in proving oneself.
Trying to prove ourselves i won't conform
Asserting a refusal to conform to societal expectations.
