Lyrics

When I said good morning

Initial greeting was insincere

I was lying

The morning greeting wasn't genuine

I was truly thinking of

Contemplating ending life

How I might quit waking up

Consideration of not wanting to wake up anymore


He pointed out how selfish

Someone pointed out the selfishness of suicide

It would be to kill myself

Realization of the selfishness in ending one's life

So I keep waking up

Continuing to live despite suicidal thoughts


It feels so much like falling

Suicidal feelings are akin to falling

Dying while I wait to die

Sense of dying emotionally while waiting for physical death

The fear of something or nothing

Fear of an uncertain outcome (something or nothing)

Lonely empty lie

Feeling of loneliness and emptiness


I don't want to be a liar

Desire to be truthful

I don't want to be selfish anymore

Desire to overcome selfishness

I want so much to change, learning your love every day

Yearning for personal transformation through love

There's still so much to know

Recognizing the vastness of what's yet to be understood


You grip my wrists

Metaphorical restraint by someone else

I let go

Choice to release control or resistance


It feels so much like falling

Similarity between suicidal feelings and falling

Separated from the fear

Feeling removed from the fear

Aware of a destination far away from here

Awareness of a distant and different place


It feels so much like falling

Reiteration of similarity between suicidal feelings and falling

Separated from the fear

Feeling removed from the fear, repeated

Aware of a destination far away from here

Awareness of a distant and different place, repeated

Far away from here

Emphasis on being far away from the current distress
