Lyrics
Every now and then I think about you
Reflecting on thoughts of someone intermittently
And it makes me, it breaks me
Emotionally impacts and distresses the speaker
Out of you and into me, I'll make it
Transition from the other person to self with determination
So take a look at what you do to my head
Examining the effects on the speaker's mind caused by the other person
When you're leaving, I'm breathing
The departure causes a sense of relief for the speaker
Out of me and into you, I feel sick
Transfer of emotions from the speaker to the other person
I feel sick
Reiteration of feeling unwell or disturbed
Now that you're leaving
Departure complicates life but the speaker finds a reason to persist
It complicates our lives
Acknowledging complications arising from the departure
But I am the reason
Self-identifying as the reason for survival
That I will stay alive
Reaffirming the speaker's determination to stay alive
We are the energy
Declaration of collective identity as a source of energy
We are the same as you
Claiming similarity with others
Take everything you need
Encouraging others to take what they need
We are the answer to
Being the solution for those who are broken
The broken, breaking through
Emphasizing strength in overcoming difficulties
Take everything from me
Offering everything for the benefit of others
Every now and then I dream about you
Dreaming about the person with a loss of emotional connection
I've lost the feeling, it's dead skin
Describing emotional numbness and detachment
I will never be dependent again
Commitment to independence and self-reliance
And every now and then I think about you
Repeating thoughts about the person and approaching closure
It's bringing me closer to closure
The thoughts bring the speaker closer to emotional resolution
Every now and then I know it's over
Acknowledging the end of the relationship
It's over
Stating definitively that it's over
Now that you're leaving
Departure complicates life but the speaker finds a reason to persist (repeated)
It complicates our lives
Acknowledging complications arising from the departure (repeated)
But I am the reason
Self-identifying as the reason for survival (repeated)
That I will stay alive
Reaffirming the speaker's determination to stay alive (repeated)
We are the energy
Declaration of collective identity as a source of energy (repeated)
We are the same as you
Claiming similarity with others (repeated)
Take everything you need
Encouraging others to take what they need (repeated)
We are the answer to
Being the solution for those who are broken (repeated)
The broken, breaking through
Emphasizing strength in overcoming difficulties (repeated)
Take everything from me
Offering everything for the benefit of others (repeated)
We are the energy
Declaration of collective identity as a source of energy (repeated)
We are the same as you
Claiming similarity with others (repeated)
Take everything you need
Encouraging others to take what they need (repeated)
We are the answer to
Being the solution for those who are broken (repeated)
The broken, breaking through
Emphasizing strength in overcoming difficulties (repeated)
Take everything from me
Offering everything for the benefit of others (repeated)
Cause I'm not dying
Asserting resilience and survival
No I'm not dying
Reiterating the affirmation of not dying
Today
Confirmation of vitality in the present moment
