Lyrics

I've been suffocating all night

I have felt suffocated throughout the night.

Too much of nothing made me get uptight

Excessive nothingness has caused me to become anxious.

And I get fists on my shy nerves

I experience tension and aggression due to my reserved nature.

And say it's this that you deserve

I express that what you are experiencing is a consequence of your actions.

Do you wanna live in a soft shell

Do you prefer a comfortable but limited existence?

Or knuckle under the hard sell

Or do you submit to a forceful persuasion?

When your arms start creeping through

When your true intentions become apparent.

When you're ashamed of what you're trying to do

You feel ashamed of your actions.


Dead air

There is a silence or lack of communication.

Don't let it be spoken

Do not allow this silence to persist.

A record's broken,

A metaphorical record is damaged, causing a disruption.

Skipping to the words that hang in this

Repetition of certain words creates a haunting atmosphere.

Dead air

Continuation of the silence or lack of communication.

And you never say nothing

You consistently choose not to express anything.

Dead air between you and me

Avoidance of communication between us.


I've been suffocating all night

Reiteration of the feeling of suffocation.

Too much of nothing made me get uptight

Excessive nothingness continues to cause discomfort.

You're in a rut with your dumb ones

You are stuck in a routine with uninteresting people.

It takes no guts to be don juan

It requires no courage to be superficially attractive.

To go around brooding and tight

Engaging in deep contemplation and tension without reason.

When you got no reason for brooding

Brooding without a valid cause.

You've become completely sick

You have reached a state of complete emotional sickness.

You don't give a shit

You don't care about anything.

You just wanna forget

You just want to forget and escape.


Dead air

Emphasis on the silence or lack of communication.

Don't let it be spoken

Urge to break the silence.

A record's broken,

Repeated mention of a disrupted record and its impact.

Skipping to the words that hang in this

Repeating words create a lingering effect.

Dead air

Continued absence of communication.

And you never say nothing

You consistently choose not to express anything.

Dead air between you and me

Avoidance of communication between us.


I've been brooding all night

Extended period of contemplation and tension without reason.

I got no reason for brooding

Continued brooding without a valid cause.

I don't know what I'm doing

Uncertainty about one's actions and purpose.

I keep trying to speak out loud

Struggling to vocalize thoughts.


Dead air

Emphasis on the persistent lack of communication.

Dead air between you and me

Continued avoidance of meaningful communication.
