Closing In
Embracing Darkness: A Struggle for Breath by Hopes Avenue
Lyrics
You're suffocating, intoxicating.
You feel overwhelming and captivating, but also stifling.
You make it hard for me to breathe.
Your presence makes it difficult for me to breathe.
I'm slowly fading, there's no escaping,
I'm gradually losing strength or significance, and there's no way to avoid it.
You make it hard for me to breathe.
Similar to line 2, your influence hinders my ability to breathe.
I can't stop myself from going under.
I'm unable to resist sinking or succumbing to something.
The depths pull me further and further.
I'm being pulled deeper and deeper into a challenging situation.
I can't stop myself from going under.
Reiteration of the struggle not to be pulled under.
Sky goes black it calls for thunder.
The situation intensifies, likened to an impending storm.
The earth beneath me it crumbles completely,
The foundation beneath me is disintegrating completely.
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders,
I bear the immense burden of the world's troubles.
My life is crashing down, oh it is crashing down,
My life is falling apart.
The walls are closing in, the walls are closing in.
The pressures and difficulties are closing in, causing distress.
My voice is shaking, this body aching.
I'm emotionally shaken, and my body is in pain.
You make it hard for me to breathe.
Reiteration of the difficulty in breathing due to your impact.
I can't stop myself from going under.
A repetition of the struggle against sinking or succumbing.
The depths pull me further and further.
Continuation of being pulled into a challenging situation.
I can't stop myself from going under.
Restating the difficulty in resisting a downward pull.
Sky goes black it calls for thunder.
The situation worsens, symbolized by a dark sky and thunder.
The earth beneath me it crumbles completely,
Reiteration of the complete disintegration of the foundation.
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders,
Reaffirmation of carrying an overwhelming burden.
My life is crashing down, oh it is crashing down,
Emphasizing the collapse of one's life.
The walls are closing in, the walls are closing in.
Repetition of the encroaching pressure and distress.
There's feelings growing inside me, they're wanting me to give in.
Inner emotions are growing, urging a surrender or submission.
There's feelings growing inside me, they're telling me to give in.
Similar to line 23, emotions compelling a surrender.
BLEGH!
An exclamation or expression, possibly representing a breaking point.
The earth beneath me it crumbles completely,
Reiteration of the complete breakdown of the foundation.
I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders,
Restating the burden of carrying the world's troubles.
My life is crashing down, oh it is crashing down,
Reaffirmation of life's collapse and challenges.
The walls are closing in, the walls are closing in.
Repetition of the encroaching pressure and distress, concluding the song.
