Lyrics
we’re so much better than we started
Progressed significantly from our starting point.
finally found some sense, so close
Finally found some understanding or clarity, very close to a realization.
suddenly fall slow, your chokehold
Experiencing a gradual or slow descent, feeling trapped or controlled by someone or something.
find you shoving the slightest idea of how im so human
Discovering that someone is pushing the notion of how deeply human the speaker is, despite lacking a full understanding themselves.
and i lied, “i was fine”
The speaker falsely claimed they were okay or alright.
I kept alone
Choosing to remain isolated or keeping to oneself.
begged for a savior
Pleading for someone to rescue or save them.
i cradled it with my own fingers
Taking care of this rescuing or saving aspect personally, holding onto it closely.
washed my old palette again
Starting anew, possibly reinventing oneself.
because this time it’s still just a fraction
Despite changes, it's only a small part of a larger whole.
destructing a construct
Breaking down something that's been built or established within.
internal affairs no amends
Personal issues that cannot be resolved or reconciled.
filtering what can diminish a principle of heavy-handed heaving stricken feelings
Filtering out what might weaken a core belief or intense emotions.
double-faced like a spearhead
Dual-natured, like a weapon with two edges, possibly referring to hypocrisy or conflicting feelings.
so closed….
Closed off emotionally or mentally.
finally found some sense, so close
Reiteration of finding a sense of understanding or clarity, very close to a realization.
suddenly fall slow, your chokehold

and i lied, “i was fine”

I kept alone
Choosing to remain isolated or keeping to oneself (repeated from line 7).
I kept alone
Continued isolation or being alone (repeated from line 7).
I kept alone
Further emphasis on being alone or isolated (repeated from line 7).
I kept alone
Continued emphasis on solitude or isolation (repeated from line 7).
i wept alone
Expressing the act of crying or shedding tears while being alone.
