Lyrics
One night
Feeling overwhelmed or distressed on a particular night
I'm sinking through the ground
Experiencing a sensation of sinking or descending
Head spinning around
Feeling dizzy or disoriented
One word
A single word carries significant weight or impact
And I might just explode
Suggesting a potential explosion of emotions or feelings due to the impact of a word
Wingless birds don't leave their nests
Metaphorically referring to feeling constrained or unable to leave a comfort zone
Corrupted souls stay silent
People with corrupted or troubled souls tend to remain quiet
But the poison's suffocating
Feeling suffocated or overwhelmed by poison, possibly negativity or toxicity
Oh please don't let the burden get to you
Urging someone not to be burdened by a difficult situation
Cause
Introducing a reason or cause for subsequent actions or emotions
They bite
Describing aggressive, harmful behaviors of unknown entities
They scratch
-They bark
-They kill
-Never worry bout me now
Asking others not to worry about the speaker
Come get my things when I can't touch the floor
Requesting someone to collect their belongings when they are unable to function normally
Never shed your tears if I leave early
Asking not to cry if the speaker departs prematurely
The world is cruel but the heart has no mercy
Highlighting the cruel nature of the world but emphasizing the heart's capacity for mercy
One view
Feeling transparent or easily seen through by others
And they just see right through
Others perceive the speaker effortlessly, akin to how they perceive the sun
Percieve me like the sun
Comparing oneself to wilting flowers, possibly indicating a sense of decay or decline
I'm here wilting like flowers
Feeling entangled or overwhelmed by problems represented as vines
Vines overgrowing on my veins
Suggesting a sense of futility or uselessness
And it's all in vain
(Empty line)
Corrupted souls stay silent
Similar to lines 8-10, urging someone not to be burdened by the speaker's troubles
But the poison's suffocating
-Oh please don't let the burden get to you
-Cause
Reiteration of aggressive, harmful behaviors
They bite
-They scratch
-They bark
-They kill
-Never worry bout me now
Repetition of lines 18-21, reiterating not to worry if the speaker leaves prematurely
Come get my things when I can't touch the floor
-Never shed your tears if I leave early
-The world is cruel but the heart has no mercy
-Look away, don't take a glance
Advising others to avoid looking or paying attention to the speaker's distress or despair
These lifeless eyes had gone dry for way too long
Describing eyes devoid of life or emotion due to a prolonged lack of moisture
It's just way too dark, it's past my bedtime
Referring to a sense of darkness or despair that surpasses a typical bedtime
But I doubt I'll wake up again
Expressing doubt about waking up or surviving a difficult situation
I won't let myself
Determined not to succumb to despair or negative thoughts
Fall into the void
-The devil in my head
-Make it seem so easy
-I won't let myself
Reiteration of determination to resist negative influences
Fall into the void
-The devil in my head
-Make it seem so easy
-Never worry bout me now
Repeating the message not to worry if the speaker leaves abruptly
Come get my things when I can't touch the floor
-Never shed your tears if I leave early
-Early
