Rising Above Fear: A Fireproof Journey in 'Airtight'
Lyrics
I can't believe i have grown so tall
Reflects surprise at personal growth despite still being dominated by fear.
To still be ruled by fear
An admission of being controlled by fear despite personal development.
I close my eyes on the long fall
Metaphorically closing off from facing challenges by shutting eyes.
Push away everyone that's near
Intentionally pushing away those who try to get close emotionally.
I bare my teeth and i snarl when i'm hurting
Reacting defensively and aggressively when emotionally hurt.
See the tears when you call my name
Expresses vulnerability and pain when called out or addressed.
The flood is rising above my head
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions or circumstances.
You pump the water out of my lungs
Someone helping to alleviate the overwhelming emotions or situation.
And lay me to bed
Receiving assistance but still feeling trapped or overwhelmed.
But i'm drowning all the same
Sense of drowning emotionally despite efforts to cope.
But i'm drowning all the same
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed without progress.
'Cus i've got nothing to gain
Expressing a sense of emptiness or lack of motivation.
It's easier to stay numb anyway
Choosing emotional numbness as an easier alternative.
And i'm picking fights under city lights
Engaging in conflicts or arguments deliberately.
I'm fireproof, i'm airtight
Feeling invulnerable and sealed off emotionally.
But did you ever see a firefly catch fire and die
Questioning the paradox of vulnerability despite perceived invincibility.
Beneath a cardboard sky?
Imagery of a fragile existence under an illusory or fake setting.
'Cus trees are lighting forest fires
Metaphor of unexpected sources causing chaos or destruction.
And the people on my screen are liars
Lack of trust in people due to perceived deceit.
Did you ever see a lioness leave her pride
Questioning the notion of fear preventing taking necessary steps.
'Cus she was too afraid to go outside?
Reflecting on missed opportunities due to fear.
I can't believe i have grown so tall
Repetition emphasizing surprise at personal growth amidst fear.
To still be ruled by fear
Reiteration of being controlled by fear despite growth.
Buried in the burning wreckage of it all
Feeling buried or overwhelmed by the consequences of circumstances.
Wish i could just disappear
Wishing for an escape or disappearance from the situation.
I walk on my knees
Struggling through difficulties, feeling small and vulnerable.
Through a forest of needles and pins
Enduring pain and hardship with emotional detachment.
And i feel nothing at all
Absence of feeling due to emotional guarding or desensitization.
'Cus i've thickened my skin
Having protected oneself emotionally but feeling nothing as a result.
And i'm picking fights under city lights
Continuing to engage in conflicts, possibly as a defense mechanism.
I'm fireproof, i'm airtight
Reiteration of feeling invincible and emotionally sealed.
But did you ever see a firefly catch fire and die
Repeating the paradox of vulnerability despite perceived invincibility.
Beneath a cardboard sky?
Imagery portraying vulnerability in a deceptive or false setting.
'Cus trees are lighting forest fires
Metaphorically attributing chaos to unexpected sources.
And the people on my screen are liars
Distrust of people due to perceived dishonesty or deceit.
Did you ever see a lioness leave her pride
Reflecting on missed opportunities due to fear.
'Cus she was too afraid to go outside
Emphasizing fear preventing necessary actions or growth.
Too afraid to go outside
Repeating the fear of stepping out or taking action due to apprehension.
Too afraid to go outside
-Too afraid to go outside
-Too afraid to go outside?
