Be it smoke in the air or your foot on my neck
Describing a suffocating or oppressive situation.
I couldn't breathe without you
Expressing dependence on someone for survival.
Blue pill, bitter illusion I'm using
Using a metaphorical "blue pill" to cope with a harsh reality.
To soothe the doubt
Using illusions to alleviate uncertainty or insecurity.
It's the weight on my hips at the press of your lips
Symbolizing the emotional burden and connection in a physical context.
I'll never be without you
Expressing an inseparable connection with the person referred to.
If it is what it is, would it kill ya to stick around
Pondering the consequences of accepting the current situation.

And it's all somewhat revealing

Highlighting the significance of silence in conveying messages.

Be it smoke in the air or your foot on my neck
Repeating the suffocating or oppressive imagery for emphasis.
No I couldn't breathe without you
Reiterating dependence on someone for breath, both literal and metaphorical.
Blue pill, bitter illusion I'm using
Using a metaphorical "blue pill" again to cope with doubt.
To soothe the doubt
Continuing the theme of using illusions to handle uncertainty.
It's the weight on my hips at the press of your lips
Repeating the physical and emotional connection metaphor.
No I'll never be without you
Asserting the enduring nature of the connection.

Would it kill ya to stick around
