Lyrics
Swallow the hurt
Expressing the act of internalizing emotional pain.
Force down that lump in your throat
Forcing oneself to suppress emotions or discomfort.
Maybe this time it will make it go away
Hoping that the suppression will make the pain disappear.
If you just shut your eyes long enough
Suggesting a strategy of avoidance by closing one's eyes.
Shut out the world
Advising to isolate from the external world.
And keep the pain buried deep inside
Encouraging internalizing emotional suffering.
Don't you dare talk to anyone you know
Warning against sharing emotions with others.
Don't you dare speak to friends or family
Discouraging communication with friends and family.
I tried for so many years to bury how i feel
Reflecting on the difficulty of suppressing emotions over the years.
And not risk opening up
Avoiding the risk of opening up emotionally.
I will throw the first stone, though I am soaked in guilt
Acknowledging guilt but still willing to judge others.
I'll fight to stand alone, growing in my filth
Expressing a determination to stand alone despite moral decay.
Keep it buried within the darkest corners of your mind
Suggesting keeping emotional struggles hidden in the mind.
Let it carry over all i keep confined
Allowing emotional burdens to persist.
Maybe now, maybe this time
Hoping for self-destruction as a means of escape.
It will allow me to swallow myself until i'm fucking blind
Desiring to be blinded by self-destruction.
My mind can't escape this
Expressing the inescapable nature of mental anguish.
Lord knows i fucking tried
Admitting efforts to overcome mental struggles.
Every second it resists
Describing persistent resistance within the mind.
To accept these fucking lies
Struggling to accept internal falsehoods or deceptions.
These fucking lies
Reiteration of internal deception and falsehoods.
Don't you dare talk to anyone you know
Repeating the warning against sharing emotions.
Don't you dare speak to friends or family
Reiterating the discouragement of communication with others.
You're the only one here confined in vanity
Highlighting a sense of isolation and self-centeredness.
