Hard to Breathe
Lost in Shadows: Unveiling the Pain Within Hawthorne Heights' 'Hard to Breathe'
Lyrics
I saw the glimmer of a silhouette
I observed the faint outline of a figure
The part of me that died had just come back
The part of myself that felt lifeless has been revived
Empty visions in a parking lot
Imaginary scenes in a parking lot
I spent my whole life lying, I just got caught
I have been dishonest throughout my life, and now I face the consequences
Cold and dark by the riverside
In a chilly and dark place near the river
I search for answers at night I've got nowhere to hide
I seek answers during the night, feeling nowhere to escape
I've got bruises beneath these ripped up jeans, I'm tired of this old life
I bear physical marks under my torn jeans, expressing weariness with my current existence
Where were you when I needed you the most
Questioning the absence of support when I needed it the most
When it got dark and I got cold
Reflecting on the times it became dark and I felt cold, longing for companionship
You were never there when I got home
Not finding solace at home, as you were never present
The streetlights sing just like a curse
Comparing the sounds of streetlights to a curse
You only seem to make things worse
Attributing worsening situations to your influence
Now it's getting hard to breathe
Expressing the increasing difficulty in facing life's challenges
The streetlights sing me fast asleep
The calming sounds of streetlights lull me into a troubled sleep
I spent my summers catching fireflies
Recalling nostalgic moments of capturing fireflies during summers
The part that flickered bright had just now died
The vibrant part of me has recently extinguished
My innocence stopped making sense
Realizing that my innocence no longer makes sense in the current context
I've got no place left to hide
Feeling there's no refuge left for me
The streetlights sing but the flashlights won't bring you home
Contrasting the singing streetlights with the inability of flashlights to guide you back home
Where were you when I needed you the most
Reiterating the absence of support during crucial times
