Hard to Breathe
Battling Despair: Unveiling the Struggle in 'Hard to Breathe'
Lyrics
The clock is laughing in my face
The passage of time is mocking and taunting the speaker.
Time is ticking away now
Time is slipping away, emphasizing a sense of urgency or lost opportunities.
I can't be my own saving grace
The speaker is struggling to find self-redemption or salvation.
I'll only let myself down
The speaker expects to disappoint themselves, possibly due to personal failures.
I lock the doors and I climb the walls
The speaker isolates themselves and experiences emotional turmoil.
I must be crazy
The speaker acknowledges their actions may be irrational or unconventional.
I keep talking and spill my guts
The speaker opens up emotionally, revealing vulnerability.
Why won't it save me
Despite sharing, the speaker feels a lack of rescue or relief.
It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
Expresses the overwhelming difficulty of coping when life feels unbearable.
It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
-I can't explain the way I feel
The speaker struggles to articulate their emotions and experiences.
It's like somebody is watching
A feeling of being observed or judged by others.
I can't decipher what is real
Difficulty distinguishing reality from perception.
I think i'll check myself in
Contemplating seeking help or intervention, possibly in a mental health context.
If I say that I'm just scared you won't understand 'cos I don't either
Fear that expressing fear will not be understood by others or even by the speaker themselves.
I can't help that i just feel insane
An acknowledgment of feeling mentally unstable.
It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
Reiteration of the overwhelming difficulty of breathing when life feels unbearable.
It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
-It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
-It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Repetition of the central theme, emphasizing the ongoing struggle to breathe amidst despair.
It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
-It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
-It's hard to breathe when you feel like dying
-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
-It's hard to breathe when you feel like
