Lyrics
The wet paper of my skin that boils and blisters is torn again
The vulnerable aspect of my being, symbolized by the fragile skin, is repeatedly damaged.
Behind the sunken breath that slows this bleeding heart inside my chest
Amidst the struggle for breath, there is a slowing of a wounded heart within my chest.
There's nothing left to fear but death, my dear
There is no remaining fear except for death.
That is all that's left
Death is the only inevitability left to confront.
Behind a bleeding heart
Within a wounded and vulnerable heart.
The dagger, the teeth
Symbolic references to weapons and danger.
Take it if you want
Invitation to take the pain or burden if desired.
You'll hear nothing from me
A declaration of silence or unwillingness to communicate further.
Behind a bleeding heart
Reiteration of a wounded emotional state.
The dagger, the teeth
Continuation of symbolic references to danger and threat.
Take it if you want
Repeat of the invitation to accept the pain or burden.
You'll hear nothing from me
Reiteration of the commitment to silence or non-communication.
The years I blood let
Reflecting on the years marked by emotional sacrifice or self-harm.
The years I blood let
Reiteration of the theme of self-inflicted emotional pain over time.
The wet paper of my skin you lick and seal your message in
Describing an intimate act of sealing a message with a kiss on the damaged skin.
Behind the sunken breath that slows this bleeding heart inside my chest
Repetition of the struggle for breath and the wounded heart.
There's nothing left to fear but death, my dear
Emphasizing the absence of fear other than death.
That is all that's left
Reiteration that death is the sole remaining concern.
The years I blood let
Repeating the theme of self-sacrifice or emotional depletion over time.
The years I blood let
Continuation of the reflection on years marked by emotional sacrifice or self-harm.
Behind a bleeding heart
Within a wounded and vulnerable heart (repeated).
The dagger, the teeth
Symbolic references to weapons and danger (repeated).
Take it if you want
Reiteration of the invitation to take the pain or burden.
You'll hear nothing from me
Emphasis on the commitment to remain silent or unresponsive.
Behind a bleeding heart
Reiteration of a wounded emotional state (repeated).
The dagger, the teeth
Continuation of symbolic references to danger and threat (repeated).
Take it if you want
Repeat of the invitation to accept the pain or burden.
You'll hear nothing from
Confirmation of the commitment to silence or non-communication (repeated).
