Forget to Breathe
Echoes of Silent Suffering: Aurora View's Poignant Revelation
Lyrics
No need for a tongue when you can't speak
Expressing the inability to communicate verbally when overwhelmed.
All the awful things inside of me
Referring to internal struggles or negative emotions.
Well can't you see
Highlighting the shared pain or suffering.
What's killing you's been killing me
Indicating that the same issues affecting someone else are affecting the speaker.
If I disappear would you be there
Pondering if support would be provided if the speaker vanished.
Apparitions come in crystal clear
Seeing ghostly or vivid mental images.
I get so fucked up when you leave
Feeling distressed or disoriented when separated.
(So out of focus)
Emphasizing a lack of clarity or focus.
Maybe I'll forget to breathe
Contemplating forgetting to breathe metaphorically, implying deep distress.
(Asphyxia)
Referencing suffocation or lack of air.
I hope you toss and turn in your sleep
Wishing discomfort upon the other person while suffering.
Hold the flame to my tongue and breathe
Desiring a sensation to redirect focus and breathe through pain.
Well can't you see
Reiterating the mirrored suffering between them.
What's killing you's been killing me
Emphasizing the reciprocal impact of pain.
If I disappear would you be there
Questioning presence or support upon disappearance.
Apparitions come in crystal clear
Referencing vivid or clear mental images upon absence.
If I disappear would you be there
Repeating the query about support if the speaker vanishes.
Losing sleep but do you even care
Wondering if the other person is concerned about the speaker's loss of sleep.
I bit my tongue upon the burn
Physical pain endured to feel alive or present.
Just to feel my skin scream
Expressing the intense need for sensation amidst suffering.
I drag my palms against the earth
Leaving a trace or mark to be found, symbolizing a cry for help.
So you know where to find me
Indicating a desire to be located or understood.
If I disappear would you be there
Repeating the query about support in the speaker's absence.
Apparitions come in crystal clear
Reiterating vivid or clear mental images upon disappearance.
If I disappear would you be there
Repeating the inquiry about support upon the speaker's vanishing.
Losing sleep but do you even care
Questioning concern about the speaker's loss of sleep.
