Lyrics

Call out all my demons

Expressing a desire to confront and address personal struggles or inner conflicts.

Tell them I won't take the fall

Asserting resilience and refusal to take blame or responsibility for negative aspects.

I'm sick of all these headaches

Expressing frustration with persistent problems or challenges causing mental strain.

From banging my head against the wall

Describing the physical toll of continuously facing difficulties, metaphorically represented by banging the head against a wall.

I wrap myself in cellophane

Metaphorically describing a desire to blend into the surroundings, possibly to avoid attention or scrutiny.

To blend in to the streets

Continuation of the metaphor, using cellophane as a symbol for concealing oneself.

And I won't tell where I'm

Indicating a reluctance to disclose one's location or emotional state.

Hiding until the blood gets to my feet

Waiting in seclusion until emotions reach a breaking point.


So today I'm waking up to find

Expressing a realization upon waking up that internal struggles were not worthwhile.

That all I held inside

Reflecting on suppressed emotions or thoughts.

Wasn't worth it

Concluding that the internal struggles were not valuable or meaningful.


I'm living out my broken dreams

Acknowledging the experience of unfulfilled aspirations or shattered hopes.

I'm flying with a crippled wing

Describing a sense of limitation or hindrance in pursuing goals.

And my life keeps on tearing at the seams

Expressing the continuous unraveling of life or challenges.

But I will fall until I find myself stuck in the middle

Accepting a willingness to endure difficulties until finding resolution or balance.


Till I'm stuck in the middle

Reiterating the determination to persist until reaching a resolution.


I'm falling into circumstances

Describing a sense of falling into uncontrollable situations or circumstances.

I cannot control

Acknowledging external forces impacting personal beliefs or values.

It's stomping out my politics and eating at my soul

Expressing how external influences are affecting the core of one's identity.

I cough the dust out of my lungs

Physically purging oneself of negative experiences or influences.

And spit it down drain

Symbolically cleansing the mind of obstructive thoughts.

I reach inside my head and pull the cobwebs from my brain

Taking active steps to clear mental obstacles and confusion.


I'm living out my broken dreams

Reiteration of living through unfulfilled aspirations or shattered dreams.

I'm flying with a crippled wing

Continuation of the metaphorical representation of limited capabilities.

And my life keeps on tearing at the seams

Emphasizing the ongoing challenges and difficulties in life.

But I will fall until I find myself stuck in the middle

Reaffirming the commitment to persevere through challenges until finding resolution.


Cross my heart and hope for the end

Pledging a commitment to endure difficulties and await a positive outcome.

Look under the boards that are starting to bend

Searching for solutions or answers beneath the surface of apparent problems.

Loosen the rope slipping over my head

Expressing a struggle against impending danger or negative consequences.

Either I'm free or I'm already dead

Contemplating the potential outcomes of a difficult situation.


So take me over

Expressing a willingness to surrender or be overtaken by circumstances.

Take me closer

Yearning for a closer connection or understanding of the situation.

Is it over?

Pondering the resolution of the current state of affairs.


Cross my heart and heart and hope for the end

Repetition of the commitment to endure difficulties with hope for a positive outcome.

Either I'm free or I'm already dead

Weighing the options between freedom and the possibility of already being emotionally or mentally defeated.
