Breaking Chains: Glass Bridges' Empowering Journey of Self-Discovery in 'Revive'
Lyrics
The rug has been pulled out
The stability or foundation has been abruptly disrupted.
From under my feet
A sudden loss of support or security.
It's been coming for years
The challenging situation has been building up for a long time.
I didn't want to believe
Reluctance to accept the impending difficulty.
I was searching for love in a heart that refuses to beat
Searching for love in an emotionally unresponsive heart.
My thoughts were my haven
Personal thoughts served as a refuge.
I was feeding my mind
Intellectual pursuits provided solace.
But the warmth I was craving
The desired emotional warmth was elusive.
Was too hard to find
Struggling to find the emotional connection sought.
In your arms I felt frozen, but I couldn't ask you why
Feeling emotionally numb in a relationship but hesitant to address it.
I would be lying if I said I didn't want this to end
Expressing a desire for the current situation to end.
Don't defend what you said
Encouraging not to justify hurtful words spoken.
I'm over these bruises
Rejecting the emotional scars from the past.
I'm choosing myself again
Choosing self-recovery over victimhood.
23 years and you still act the same
Noting a pattern of consistent behavior over a long period.
I'm repeating your patterns
Recognizing negative behavioral patterns but deciding to change.
But I'm changing my ways
Refusing to be controlled by hurtful words.
I won't be a victim to the words that you cannot say
Resisting the impact of words that cannot be expressed.
I would be lying if I said I didn't want this to end
Reiterating the desire for the current situation to end.
Don't defend what you said
Advising against defending hurtful remarks.
I am so tired I'm so sick of playing pretend
Expressing exhaustion from pretending in the relationship.
You're claiming you know me but I don't think you understand who I am
Challenging the partner's understanding of the self.
Fuck your plans
A strong rejection of the partner's plans or expectations.
I'm over these bruises
Rejecting emotional wounds and choosing self-recovery.
I'm choosing myself again
Choosing personal well-being over a toxic relationship.
I'm so tired of keeping you around
Frustration with the negative impact of the partner's presence.
You keep bringing me down
Feeling dragged down emotionally by the partner.
Through your voice I doubt myself
Experiencing self-doubt through the partner's words.
You keep bringing me down
Continued emotional distress caused by the partner.
I put pressure on myself so you keep tearing me down
Acknowledging internal pressure exacerbated by the partner.
I would like to free myself so you stop dragging me down
Expressing a desire to free oneself from emotional burdens.
I've been waiting
Implying a patient wait for change or improvement.
I've been praying
Indicating a spiritual or emotional appeal for improvement.
I've been working on myself
Engaging in self-improvement efforts.
Am I too brazen
Questioning if personal assertiveness is perceived as inappropriate.
When I say
Boldly expressing the need to prioritize self.
I think it's time to choose myself again
Deciding to prioritize personal well-being over external expectations.
I'm choosing myself again
Reaffirming the choice to prioritize self.
I would be lying if I said I didn't want this to end
Reiterating the desire for the current situation to end.
Don't defend what you said
Advising against justifying hurtful remarks.
I am so tired I'm sick of playing pretend
Expressing fatigue from pretending in the relationship.
You're claiming you know me but I don't think you understand who I am
Challenging the partner's understanding of the self.
Fuck your plans
A strong rejection of the partner's plans or expectations.
I'm over these bruises
Rejecting emotional wounds and choosing self-recovery.
I'm choosing myself again
Choosing personal well-being over a toxic relationship.
