Lyrics
Even my mouth says,
Expressing a desire for personal growth or transformation.
"Let the body grow"
Continuation of the theme of bodily growth and change.
Turn off the light
Symbolizing a moment of detachment or withdrawal.
And disappear
Conveying a wish to vanish or be unseen.
My yellow fingers
Describing the act of lighting a cigarette.
Pulled out a cigarette
Implies a habitual or repeated action.
Turn on the light
Reversal of the previous desire to disappear.
And reappear
Suggesting a reappearance or emergence from darkness.
With my head down
Physical posture indicating submission or defeat.
Keep that head down
Emphasis on maintaining a lowered or defeated stance.
These are my dying days
Referring to a period of decline or approaching death.
No love
Expressing a lack of love or affection.
No funeral parade
Absence of a traditional celebratory procession for the speaker's end.
Even this blue sky
Even the sky is witness to the speaker's deterioration.
Watches my lung collapse
Symbolic imagery of respiratory failure or suffocation.
Breathe in the water
Metaphorically inhaling difficulties or challenges.
And let me drown
Expressing a desire for surrender or acceptance of fate.
My broken fingers
Highlighting physical damage or dysfunction.
No more cigarettes
Indicating a cessation of a particular habit.
All of this love won't reappear
Love lost or unreciprocated won't return.
With my head down
Reiteration of a defeated posture.
Keep that head down
Continued emphasis on a submissive stance.
These are my dying days
Repetition of the theme of approaching demise.
No love
Reiteration of the absence of love during the speaker's end.
No funeral parade
Repetition of the absence of a celebratory procession.
These are my dying days
Emphasizing the approaching end, dismissing external attention.
Turn the spotlight off
Turning off the spotlight symbolizes a desire for anonymity.
It wasn't mine anyway
Disclaiming ownership or responsibility for the spotlight.
Even my God says,
Reference to a divine entity suggesting letting go of the body.
"Let this body go"
Reiteration of a divine directive to release the body.
Turn off the lights
Symbolic act of detachment or withdrawal from visibility.
And disappear
Reiterating the desire to disappear or go unnoticed.
Yellow figures swallow the wishing well
Descriptive imagery of a negative or futile act.
Follow the accursed, what I am called
Suggesting a pattern of following doomed paths or choices.
These are my dying days
Restating the theme of approaching demise without love.
No love
Reiteration of the absence of love during the speaker's end.
No funeral parade
Repetition of the absence of a celebratory procession.
These are my dying days
Emphasizing the approaching end, dismissing external attention.
Turn the spotlight off

It wasn't mine anyway

These are my dying days
Emphasizing the approaching end, with a sense of secrecy.
No one knows
Highlighting the loneliness or obscurity of the speaker's departure.
That I've gone away
Indicating a departure or transition without notice.
