Enough to Die
Eternal Struggle: Black Mansions' Poetic Battle with Dependency and Despair
Lyrics
Oh fantasy
Expressing a sense of imagination or unreality.
Like a bullet to the knee
Comparing a fantasy to something destructive, like a bullet to the knee.
How you forced me to surrender
Feeling compelled to give up or yield to the fantasy.
Oh sympathy
Referring to a compassionate understanding.
Like the shackles that you saved for me
Describing a form of restraint or confinement saved for the speaker.
When I believed in safety
Reflecting on a past belief in safety.
Oh no, don't want to die alone
Expressing a fear of dying alone.
Let's stay this way forever
Desiring to maintain the current state indefinitely.
Oh I know, this hell is not a home
Acknowledging the current situation as a kind of hell.
But if we stay
Contemplating staying together despite difficulties.
We'll be together til we drown
Committing to being together until a metaphorical drowning.
Dependency
Describing a state of reliance or addiction.
Like a cell without a key
Comparing dependency to being in a cell without a key.
And I've been here since December
Indicating a prolonged period of being in a difficult situation.
Wait and see
Expressing hope for a change in the future.
Maybe tomorrow I'll let free of me
Considering the possibility of breaking free.
And kill my one and only enemy
Expressing a desire to overcome the primary adversary.
Oh no, don't want to die alone
Reiterating the fear of dying alone.
Let's stay this way forever
Desiring an eternal continuation of the current situation.
Oh I know, this hell is not a home
Acknowledging the current state as a form of suffering.
But if we stay, we'll be together
Committing to staying together despite challenges.
Oh no, you're killing me too slow
Expressing impatience with a slow and agonizing process.
And I want to hear a trigger
Desiring a decisive action or resolution.
Oh I know, I'm not in this alone
Acknowledging the presence of others in the same difficult situation.
But if we stay, we'll be together
Reiterating commitment to staying together despite challenges.
So much to say for the pain you leave me with
Expressing the weight of emotional pain caused by the situation.
And I'm pulling away but you push me right back in
Describing a struggle to distance oneself but being pulled back in.
Oh no, don't want to die alone
Reiterating the fear of dying alone.
Let's stay this way forever
Desiring the current state to last indefinitely.
Oh I know, this hell is not a home
Acknowledging the current situation as a form of suffering.
But if we stay, we'll be together
Committing to staying together despite challenges.
Oh no, you're killing me too slow
Expressing impatience with a slow and agonizing process.
And I want to hear a trigger
Desiring a decisive action or resolution.
Oh I know, I'm not in this alone
Acknowledging the presence of others in the same difficult situation.
But if we stay, we'll be together
Reiterating commitment to staying together despite challenges.
Til we drown
Committing to being together until a metaphorical drowning.
