Lyrics
I'll never see what you want me to see
I cannot perceive things the way you want me to.
I'll never be what you want me to be
I cannot conform to your expectations.
Face down when my head hit the ground
Feeling defeated or overwhelmed, metaphorically fallen.
You're just a distant memory
You are just a distant memory in my mind.
So tell me now if I'm gonna make it out of this
Questioning survival or getting through a difficult situation.
Tell me now if I need to be scared
Asking about the necessity of fear in the situation.
Tell me how I'm supposed to leave it all behind
Difficulty in moving past the past experiences.
And I'll tell you that I'm unprepared
Feeling unprepared for what lies ahead.
Wasting away, I don't know if my soul can be saved
Doubt about the possibility of redemption or salvation.
Just an empty vessel, paying to live
Feeling hollow or devoid of meaning, just surviving.
I'll never see what you want me to see
Reiterating inability to see things from another perspective.
I'll never be what you want me to be
Continuing inability to conform to expectations.
Face down when my head hit the ground
Feeling defeated or overwhelmed, metaphorically fallen (repeated).
You're just a distant memory
You remain a distant memory in my mind (repeated).
How long is the breath that I have to hold
Asking about the duration of endurance needed to prove worth.
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
Questioning when personal value will be recognized.
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Inquiring about the emotional experience, only understood by those who feel lonely.
Only the lonely know
Loneliness is known only by those who experience it.
You can take it
Choice offered between acceptance or rejection of something.
Or you can leave it
Leaving behind or parting ways.
Say goodbye
Saying farewell.
You can watch me burn it all away
A metaphorical reference to self-destruction or losing everything.
You're just a ghost a memory lost in the smoke
Being a mere memory, faded and unclear.
How long is the breath that I have to hold
Repetition of the endurance question about proving worth.
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
Continuing inquiry about the recognition of personal value.
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Asking about the emotional experience, exclusive to the lonely.
Only the lonely know
Loneliness is understood only by those experiencing it (repeated).
Walking alone, down the longest road
Metaphorically walking a difficult path alone.
And you did this to yourself
Realization of self-inflicted circumstances.
You know you're on your own
Understanding the responsibility and consequences of one's actions.
You're just a ghost a memory lost in the smoke
Reiteration of being a faded memory, lost and unclear.
You're just a ghost. You left me all alone
Feeling abandoned by someone who has become a distant memory.
No escape. No hope
Sense of being trapped without any hope or chance of escape.
No goodbyes to the ones I love the most
Regret about not having the chance to say goodbye to loved ones.
Trapped in this vessel, I'm wasting away
Feeling stuck and wasting away in a hollow existence.
How long is the breath that I have to hold
Reiteration of the endurance question about proving worth.
Before I'm worth my weight in gold?
Continuing inquiry about the recognition of personal value.
How does it feel? How does it feel?
Asking about the emotional experience, exclusive to the lonely.
Only the lonely know
Loneliness is understood only by those experiencing it (repeated).
You know I'm wasting away
Confirmation of deteriorating existence.
