Breaking Free from the Past: ICantWaitToForget by Empire Fall
Lyrics
Living life is a war and I've made my mistakes
Living life is a constant struggle, and I acknowledge my past errors.
You can talk all you want with you loser mindset
You can express your opinions, but your negative attitude is unproductive.
'Cause I reach for the stars while you lay in your bed
I aim high for success while you remain passive in your comfort.
You know you're just a name I can't wait to forget
You're someone I'm eager to erase from my memory.
I can't wait to forget
I am eagerly anticipating the moment when I can forget about you.
I can't wait to forget
Reiteration of the anticipation to forget.
Guess you got what you wanted, went from friend to foe
You achieved your goal, turning from a friend to an enemy.
I gotta cut you off, It's time to let you go
I need to disconnect from you; it's time to move on.
No matter what I do it's not good enough
Despite my efforts, nothing satisfies your expectations.
You think you're so tough
You perceive yourself as strong, but it's a facade.
But everybody knows that you're not a god
Your arrogance doesn't make you a deity.
You're fraud
You are a fake or imposter.
Living life is a war and I've made my mistakes
Repetition of the struggle in life and acknowledgment of mistakes.
You can talk all you want with you loser mindset
Reiteration of the negativity and closed mindset of the other person.
'Cause I reach for the stars while you lay in your bed
Continued pursuit of success in contrast to the other person's inertia.
You know you're just a name I can't wait to forget
Reiteration of the desire to forget the person.
I can't wait to forget
Expressing eagerness to forget.
I can't wait to forget
Repetition of the anticipation to forget.
You kept breaking me down and thought it'd make me need you more
The person continuously undermined and hurt me, but I want them out of my life.
I want you out of my life so I can smell the petrichor
I want you gone so I can experience the refreshing smell of petrichor (rain on dry soil).
I'm out the door
Explicitly stating the decision to leave.
No matter what I do it's not good enough
Despite efforts, nothing is satisfactory for the person.
You think you're so tough
The person believes they are strong, but it's a false perception.
But everybody knows that you're not a god
Reiteration of the person not being god-like but a fraud.
You're fraud
Emphasis on the person being a fake or imposter.
Living life is a
Repetition of life being a war.
War
Explicitly stating life as a war.
I tried to tell you nicely
Attempt to communicate the truth to the other person.
Now show me what you're made of
Challenge to reveal the true nature of the person.
Made of
Reiteration of the challenge.
Living life is a war and I've made my mistakes
Repetition of the struggles in life and acknowledging mistakes.
You can talk all you want with you loser mindset
Reiteration of the negativity and closed mindset of the other person.
'Cause I reach for the stars while you lay in your bed
Continued pursuit of success in contrast to the other person's inertia.
You know you're just a name I can't wait to forget
Reiteration of the desire to forget the person.
Living life is a war and I've made my mistakes
Repetition of the struggles in life and acknowledging mistakes.
You can talk all you want with you loser mindset
Reiteration of the negativity and closed mindset of the other person.
'Cause I reach for the stars while you lay in your bed
Continued pursuit of success in contrast to the other person's inertia.
You know you're just a name I can't wait to forget
Reiteration of the desire to forget the person.
I can't wait to forget
Anticipation and eagerness to forget.
I can't wait to forget
Repetition of the anticipation to forget.
