Dead Like Me
Embracing Desolation: Bleeding Through's Poetic Struggle
Lyrics
Just a papercut to spill your blood.
Metaphorical reference to a minor injury causing significant harm or pain.
Just a papercut to spill your blood.
Repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the impact of a seemingly minor event.
I hear screams come out the window.
Observation of distress or suffering, possibly from external sources.
Maybe next time your caress won't feel like rusted nails.
Suggests a previous experience of emotional pain, hoping for a different outcome.
I am the son of rejection.
Identification with feelings of being unwanted or unaccepted.
So hold me to the light.
Desire for validation or affirmation of one's worth.
Tell me it's right to feel dead inside.
Seeking acknowledgment that feeling emotionally numb is justified.
I won't break, not today.
Declaration of resilience and determination to endure hardships.
I won't break, not today.
Reiteration of the commitment to withstand challenges.
Dead like me.
Expression of a state of emotional death or numbness.
Dead like me.
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the theme of emotional emptiness.
Because beneath this stare is a desperate fight to stay alive.
Acknowledgment of an internal struggle to stay alive.
Tell me I'm not alone.
Yearning for reassurance and connection with others.
Whisper that breath that fuels this fight.
Desire for the life force that supports the will to live.
From now on, this is my life.
Acceptance of a new, challenging reality as one's own.
Discontent for the rest of mankind.
Expressing dissatisfaction with humanity in general.
I'll always remember the way that touch felt and how I was so close.
Nostalgia for a past touch, emphasizing emotional distance.
Four seconds away from death.
Near-death experience, highlighting the fragility of life.
Three seconds away from you.
Distance from someone important, contributing to the sense of loss.
Two seconds away from death.
Another close encounter with death, intensifying the narrative.
One second away from you.
Final moments before a potential loss, possibly of emotional connection.
I won't break, not today.
Reaffirmation of inner strength and determination to endure.
I won't break, not today.
Repetition for emphasis, emphasizing resilience.
Dead like me.
Reiteration of emotional deadness as a prevailing state.
Dead like me.
Repetition emphasizing the persistent theme of emotional emptiness.
Try to find reasons to resist, and I won't break, not today.

Try to find reasons to resist, and I won't break, not today.

Bring it.
Assertion of readiness to face challenges head-on.
I look back on a broken mess.
Reflection on past hardships, possibly with a sense of regret.
Pictures shattered with shards of glass.

This is what my life means to me.
