Lyrics
I can't go on
Expresses an inability to continue.
Deflate the air from both of my lungs
Feeling suffocated or drained emotionally.
Fears one by one followed me home
Fears have followed the individual home, impacting their life.
And became reality
These fears have manifested into reality.
I'm a failure, I'm a freak
Self-perception as a failure or outcast.
I'm a chip on your shoulder
Feeling like a burden to someone else.
Last thing you need
Believing oneself to be an unwanted presence.
Shudder earthquakes at the thought
Fearful anticipation of catastrophic events.
Of a life that's meaningless
Life lacking purpose or significance.
And with such a promising past
Despite a promising past, feeling unreliable.
That you can always count on me
Expecting reliance on oneself to sabotage the end.
To choke the end
Acknowledging a tendency to cause failure.
I can't go on
Reiterating the inability to continue.
Deflate the air from both of my lungs
Repetition of feeling suffocated or drained.
I'll be gone long before daylight shows its face
Expecting to fade away before a new day begins.
Well honestly I'm taking big stride
Attempting to fit into societal norms.
In a race toward normalcy
Striving for normality despite internal turmoil.
Where more is more and less is weak
Criticizing a culture of excess and devaluing emotions.
Where love is crap
Diminishing the value of love and emotions.
Emotion speaks for us all
Implying emotions speak universally for everyone.
What's really right
Questioning the concept of what's morally right.
Who's who to say
Suggesting skepticism towards authority.
I can survive alone again
Realization of surviving in isolation.
Figured that out the hardest way
Learning through the toughest experiences.
The forecast calls for fire
Expecting turmoil or chaos.
Flame sounds nice today
Desiring something destructive or intense.
I can't go on
Reiteration of the inability to continue.
Deflate the air from both of my lungs
Reiterating feeling suffocated or drained.
I'll be gone long before daylight shows its face
Expectation of disappearing before a new day.
It's old and worn and its mouth smiles no more
Describing something old and joyless.
Now I'm worth my weight potting soil
Feeling worthless, comparing self to soil.
Maybe I tried too hard to care
Suspecting excessive caring led to failure.
I left a note on your bed
Leaving a message, possibly expressing misery.
I don't recall what it said
Uncertain about the content of the note.
Something like how I'm completely miserable
Expressing complete misery in the note.
And how I'm better off dead
Suggesting a belief in being better off dead.
I can't go on
Reiteration of the inability to continue.
Deflate the air from both of my lungs
Repeating feeling suffocated or drained.
I'll be gone long before daylight shows its face
Expecting disappearance before a new day.
Its old and worn and its mouth smiles no more
Describing something old and joyless.
I'm worth my weight potting soil
Feeling worthless, comparing self to soil.
Maybe I tried too hard to care
Suspecting excessive caring led to failure.
I can't go on
Reiteration of the inability to continue.
Deflate the air from both of my lungs
Repeating feeling suffocated or drained.
