Lyrics
This soldier's holding on
This soldier is enduring and holding on.
Still hear the fight in my bedroom
The sounds of a fight are still audible in the singer's bedroom.
Where I hope they won't find me
The singer hopes to remain hidden in their bedroom.
This mask keeps falling off
A metaphorical mask is repeatedly coming off, revealing true feelings.
No make-believe where I'm heading
Heading towards a real and genuine destination, no pretending.
'Cause outside I can't hide how I feel
External appearances cannot conceal the singer's true emotions.
Can someone help me keep in touch
The singer seeks assistance in staying connected with reality.
Reality's my game
Reality is portrayed as a challenging game for the singer.
'Cause in my head is where I love
The singer's love resides in their mind, emphasizing a mental connection.
Ain't nobody can judge me
Expressing a resistance to judgment from others.
'Cause I feel like someone else's pride
The singer feels pressured by someone else's pride.
Is pushing me against the ropes
An external force is metaphorically pushing the singer against challenges.
Hold it in, let it die
Suppressing emotions and letting them fade away.
Can't breathe like cyanide
Feeling suffocated and unable to breathe, like the effects of cyanide.
This way's been working fine
The current approach or lifestyle has been effective for the singer.
How long until I'm tired, oh
Questioning how much longer the current coping mechanism will last.
The noise is getting loud
The surrounding noise is becoming overwhelming for the singer.
How long til I play the victim
Anticipating when the singer will adopt a victim mentality.
Til I'm edged to deny it
Reaching a point where denial becomes inevitable.
Because there's bigger things on my mind
Other significant concerns occupy the singer's thoughts.
This the shit I don't have time for
Expressing frustration about dealing with certain issues.
But you keep on asking for more
Despite challenges, there is a persistent demand for more from the singer.
Can someone help me keep in touch
Seeking assistance again to maintain a connection with reality.
Reality's my game
Reiterating that reality is like a challenging game for the singer.
'Cause in my head is where I love
Emphasizing the emotional connection within the singer's mind.
Ain't nobody can judge me
Reasserting resistance to judgment from others.
'Cause I feel like someone else's pride
Feeling pressured by someone else's pride persists.
Is pushing me against the ropes
External forces continue to challenge and push the singer.
Hold it in, let it die
Repeating the struggle of suppressing and letting emotions fade.
Can't breathe like cyanide
Continuing to feel suffocated, akin to the effects of cyanide.
This way's been working fine
The current lifestyle or approach is still effective for the singer.
How long until I'm tired, oh
Questioning how much longer the current coping mechanism will last.
