Lyrics
I feel it less and less often
I experience diminishing emotions with decreasing frequency.
Can't you see I'm exhausted
An expression of fatigue or weariness that others should recognize.
I miss the shapes that break the wakes and take my breath away
Nostalgia for experiences or moments that were thrilling and awe-inspiring.
It's getting harder to read you
Understanding you is becoming more challenging.
I promise I didn't mean to push you to the edge
Apology for unintentionally pushing someone to their limit.
This fever fed the part of me that pushes you away
A metaphorical reference to a destructive aspect within, causing distance.
I'm trying
Declaration of effort or attempt.
I'm trying harder than I ever had
An increased level of effort compared to the past.
To patch the backstabs made by my own hand
Striving to mend the consequences of self-inflicted betrayals.
On my own back
The impact of self-inflicted wounds on one's own well-being.
And I saw you shot down second hand
Observation of someone affected indirectly by the singer's actions.
By the targets that I laid by my own hand
Recognition of targets or victims created by the singer's actions.
On my own back
The repercussions of one's own actions on personal life.
The short circuit in my head that keeps the dishes dirty
A metaphor for mental struggles affecting daily tasks and relationships.
And texts left on read
Issues with communication and unresponded messages.
They say to keep some for yourself so I kept it all
A reflection on the importance of self-preservation.
And even if I did decide to take the leap in shackles chains and all
Contemplation of taking a significant risk despite constraints.
There'd be no one here to see me fall
The realization that there would be no witnesses even in a moment of vulnerability.
