Lyrics
I am face down
The singer feels defeated or overwhelmed.
I can barely now remember where I came from
They struggle to recall their origins or past.
Outside my body
Feeling disconnected from their physical self.
I'm stepping on my gravestone
Metaphorically standing on their own grave, symbolic of self-destruction or a past life.
I've been chased out
Sense of being forced out or chased away.
I can barely now remember where I came from
Continued difficulty recalling their origins or past.
Above my body
Feeling disconnected from their physical self again.
I'm stepping on my gravestone
Metaphorically standing on their own grave, possibly indicating a self-destructive pattern.
I shot the old me
Symbolic of letting go of their old self or past identity.
Left him for dead
They abandoned their past self, leaving it behind.
I took a life today
The singer metaphorically ended their old life or way of being.
I came alive today
They feel reborn or revitalized.
I am face down
A repetition indicating continued feelings of defeat.
And I've buried all that's left of my brittle bones
They have buried their old, fragile self.
Outside my body I'm stepping on
Feeling disconnected from their physical self and standing metaphorically on their grave.
My gravestone
Continuing to symbolically stand on their own grave, suggesting self-destructive tendencies.
Standing here now
Expressing their current position after transformation or change.
I have risen in the fire that is cleaning my soul
They've emerged stronger after enduring a challenging experience.
I shot the old me
Repeated action of letting go of their old self or past identity.
Left him for dead
They've abandoned their past self, leaving it behind.
I took a life today
Metaphorical ending of their old life or way of being.
I came alive today
Feeling rejuvenated or revitalized.
I shot the old me
Continued action of letting go of their old self or past identity.
Right to the head
Symbolic act of ending their old life or way of being.
I took a life today
Feeling reborn or revitalized.
I came alive today
Sense of newfound life or energy.
So thank me for killing me
Expressing gratitude for the transformation or change that involved self-destruction.
And thank me for lifting me
Being thankful for the personal growth that followed self-destruction.
Oh god it's been a long time coming
Expressing a long-awaited transformation or change.
Long time coming now
Reiterating the long duration of the awaited change.
Wish me luck I won't give up
Asking for support or encouragement to persist.
I won't dig up my gravestone
Determined not to return to past destructive tendencies.
Wish me luck I won't give up
Repeated determination not to return to self-destructive behaviors.
I won't dig up my gravestone
-Wish me luck I won't give up
-I won't dig up my gravestone
-Wish me luck I won't give up
-I won't dig up my gravestone
-Wish me luck I won't give up
Continued determination not to revert to past destructive patterns.
I won't dig up my gravestone
-My gravestone
Emphasizing the ownership of their own destructive tendencies symbolized by the gravestone.
My gravestone
-I shot the old me
Repeating the cycle of letting go of the past, symbolically ending old ways of being, and embracing a new, revitalized self.
Left him for dead

-I shot the old me
-Right to the head
