Lyrics
Let me burden you
Expressing a desire to share personal burdens
With my new disease
Introducing a metaphorical "new disease" as a burden
Life threatening
Describing the severity of the burden as life-threatening
Life defining
Highlighting the impact of the burden on one's life and identity
Have I told you
Reiterating the desire to share details about the burden
About my new disease?
Emphasizing the transformative nature of the burden
Life changing
Stressing the significant changes the burden brings to life
Life bending
Indicating that the burden has a profound impact on one's existence
I live with my ailments
Acknowledging the coexistence with personal struggles
They make my life complete
Asserting that ailments contribute to the speaker's sense of fulfillment
They're nothing I can treat
Stating that the burdens are beyond the speaker's ability to remedy
They're nothing I will treat
Emphasizing the speaker's choice not to address or cure the burdens
I burden you
Repeating the desire to share and impose the burden
With tales of pains and aches
Imparting the weight of physical and emotional struggles to others
How much is at stake
Questioning the significance and risk associated with the burden
What grief I can take
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's ability to endure sorrow
I regale you
Introducing another aspect of burden through storytelling
With a tale of loss and woe
Sharing a narrative of pain, sadness, and adversity
Chapters upon chapters
Describing the burden in terms of numerous challenging experiences
Of magnificent maladies
Portraying the burdens as remarkable and imposing challenges
