Lyrics
Bit my tongue for too long
Expressing holding back thoughts or words for an extended period.
Turns out that the blood makes me sick
Realizing that suppressing true feelings has negative consequences.
When it hits my stomach oh
Highlighting the physical and emotional impact of internalized emotions.
Stayed quiet for too long
Acknowledging a prolonged period of silence or restraint.
I helped you exist at my own expense
Sacrificing personal well-being to support someone else's existence.
And you don't deserve it
Asserting that the person doesn't deserve the sacrifice made for them.
Writing's always been on the wall
Indicating that signs or warnings were present but ignored.
But seeing it's been my shortfall
Acknowledging a personal failing in recognizing those signs.
At some point I lost the thread
Admitting to losing track of an important aspect of life or self.
Let a lot of things get in my head
Allowing various distractions to cloud one's thoughts and priorities.
And at some point
Continuing the narrative of losing oneself at a specific moment.
I lost myself
Reflecting on a deeper sense of identity loss.
Trying to help everyone else
Explaining the reason for the identity loss, focusing on helping others.
Ooh, ooh
Expressing emotions with vocal sounds.
Held my breath for too long
Describing a period of breath-holding, possibly symbolizing anxiety.
Turns out you can't think when there's no air to breathe no
Pointing out the inability to think clearly under stressful conditions.
Writing's always been on the wall
Reiterating the presence of signs or warnings on the metaphorical wall.
But seeing it's been my shortfall
Acknowledging personal responsibility for not recognizing the signs.
And at some point I lost the thread
Revisiting the theme of losing an important aspect of life or self.
Let a lot of things get in my head
Reinforcing the impact of distractions on one's thoughts.
And at some point I lost myself
Reiterating the profound sense of self-loss while helping others.
Trying to help everyone else
Stressing the self-sacrifice involved in assisting others.
Ooh, ooh
Expressing emotions with vocal sounds.
Got you out of my head
Successfully removing someone from one's thoughts or concerns.
I found the thread, the thread
Discovering or re-establishing a sense of continuity or purpose.
Unraveled what you said
Figuratively unraveling and understanding the meaning behind words.
I found the thread, the thread
Reaffirming the discovery or recovery of a sense of continuity or purpose.
Ooh, ooh
Expressing emotions with vocal sounds.
