Lyrics
Offended by my obscenity
Feeling hurt or upset by my use of offensive language
Mouthful of soap cleansing me
Metaphorical reference to using cleansing actions like washing my mouth out with soap to purify myself
Asking for a little empathy
Requesting understanding and compassion from others
Mouth is stained, please let me
Feeling marked or affected by something, asking for forgiveness or release from that stain
Breathe
An instruction to take a breath, possibly indicating the need for relief or calmness
Don't breathe
Repetition of conflicting instructions about breathing, expressing a sense of confusion, desperation, or feeling restrained
Don't breathe
-I can't breathe
-Breathe
-Don't breathe
-Don't breathe
-I can't breathe
-I am suffocating
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of suffocation, a sense of being overwhelmed or unable to cope
I am suffocating
-I am suffocating
-I am so frustrated
Expressing heightened emotional distress and dissatisfaction
Drowning in my insecurity
Feeling overwhelmed by feelings of self-doubt and lack of confidence
I am on my hands and knees
Being in a vulnerable state, seeking compassion and assistance from others
Begging for a little sympathy
-Begging you to help me
-Breathe
Repetition of conflicting instructions about breathing, reflecting a struggle with conflicting emotions or situations
Don't breathe
-Don't breathe
-I can't breathe
-Breathe
-Don't breathe
-Don't breathe

-I am suffocating
Continued emphasis on the suffocating feeling and growing frustration
I am suffocating
-I am suffocating

Reiteration of suffocation and frustration, intensifying the emotional state
I am suffocating
-I am suffocating
