Lyrics
It's not so much the pain
Emphasizes that the pain isn't the primary issue.
It's more the actual knife
Highlights the significance of the instrument of pain (knife).
Pretending the picture is perfect
Describes the act of pretending that everything is perfect despite inner struggles.
I cut myself to sleep
Using self-harm as a coping mechanism to find solace.
I close my eyes for a second
Momentarily shutting out the world.
And curse my fragile soul
Expresses frustration at one's vulnerable nature.
I scream to hide that I'm lonely
Trying to mask loneliness through outward expression.
The echo calls my name
Feeling a haunting sense of one's own identity.
If I ever
Desire for understanding, acknowledgment, and support from someone else.
If I never
-Make me understand the thought whatever
-Make me see
-Make me be
-Make me understand you're there for me
-Take this life
Repetition of the chorus, reiterating the plea for connection and presence.
I'm right here
-Stay a while and breathe me in
-Take this life
-I'm right here
-Stay a while and breathe me in
-The rain drops just beg to hit me
Feeling vulnerable to emotional impact.
What now hasn't rained for days
Noticing a lack of emotional release despite anticipation.
No time to play hide-and-seek
No time for leisurely activities due to inner turmoil.
I call on you to take me on
Asking for help or guidance.
Break me down to pieces
Wishing to be broken down and rebuilt properly.
Put me back, do it right this time
Seeking a resolution to the inner struggle.
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Struggling to find fulfillment or contentment.
Burn all my efforts
Seeing efforts go to waste.
In the end it means nothing
Realization that efforts may not yield meaningful results.
If I ever
Repeated plea for understanding and support.
If I never
-Make me understand the thought whatever
-Make me see
-Make me be
-Make me understand you're there for me
-Take this life
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the need for presence.
I'm right here
-Stay a while and breathe me in
-Take this life
-I'm right here
-Stay a while and breathe me in
-These thoughts burn a hole in my heart
Reinforcing the persistent burden of troubling thoughts and the desire for understanding and support.
These thoughts will keep me feeling
-These thoughts burn a hole in my heart
-These thoughts will keep me feeling
-If I ever
-If I never
-Make me understand the thought whatever
-Make me see
-Make me be
-Make me understand you're there for me
-Take this life
Final repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the plea for connection and understanding.
I'm right here
-Stay a while and breathe me in
-Take this life
-I'm right here
-Stay a while and breathe me in
