Lyrics

Do you have mask

Reference to wearing a mask, possibly metaphorical or literal.

Think I left mine inside

Expressing forgetfulness about the mask left inside.

I know I don't need one but feel like I miss it when I'm trying to hide

Feeling a sense of loss or vulnerability when attempting to hide without a mask.

You'd think I would've grown

Reflection on personal growth or lack thereof.

But do these last years count

Questioning the significance of the recent years in personal development.

I had time to think but I'm left with more questions of what life's about

Having time for introspection but ending up with more existential questions.

Oh

Expressing a contemplative mood with an "Oh."

You found a rhythm

Someone else has found a rhythm in life.

But I couldn't find

Struggling to find a personal rhythm or purpose.

The person I thought I was in my mind

Discrepancy between self-perception and actual identity.

Sometimes my freedom's the disease

Freedom is sometimes a hindrance or a "disease."

Suffocates who I long to be

Feeling stifled or restrained from becoming one's true self.

You fill these lungs with all the air that I need

Acknowledging external support in providing essential elements for survival.

What's freedom worth when you can't breathe

Questioning the value of freedom when it doesn't lead to a sense of fulfillment.

When you can't breathe

Reiterating the difficulty of life when one feels suffocated.

Two years wasn't fun

Reflection on a period of time that wasn't enjoyable.

Three years was enough

Realizing that three years were sufficient for a significant realization.

Hope I figured out that it takes more than time to know how to love

Understanding that love requires more than just the passage of time.

Now everything's a blur

Everything becomes unclear or confusing when a certain person is absent.

When you're not around

Acknowledging personal responsibility for hindering progress.

It's hard to admit that I was the one keeping me down

Recognizing a personal struggle with self-limitation.

You found a rhythm

Repetition of the idea that someone else has found a rhythm in life.

But I couldn't find

Continued struggle to find personal rhythm or identity.

The person I thought I was in my mind

Reiteration of the discrepancy between self-perception and reality.

Sometimes my freedom's the disease

Freedom can sometimes be a hindrance or limitation.

Suffocates who I long to be

Feeling stifled or restrained from becoming one's true self, again.

You fill these lungs with all the air that I need

Gratitude for external support in providing essential elements for survival, repeated.

What's freedom worth when you can't breathe

Reiteration of questioning the value of freedom when it doesn't lead to fulfillment.

I couldn't do it without you

Expressing dependence on someone for support and companionship.

Why would I go when I got much more to lose

Reasoning for not leaving, emphasizing what might be lost.

You fill these lungs with all the air that I need

Gratitude for external support in providing essential elements for survival, repeated.

What's freedom worth when you can't breathe

Reiteration of questioning the value of freedom when it doesn't lead to fulfillment.

When you can't breathe

Repeating the difficulty of life when one feels suffocated.

Oh oh oh

Repetition of an expressive "Oh."

When you can't breathe

Repeating the idea of experiencing difficulty in breathing.

Oh oh oh

Repetition of the idea of experiencing difficulty in breathing.

When you can't breathe

-

When you can't breathe

-

Oh oh oh

Repetition of an expressive "Oh."

When you can't breathe

Repetition of the idea of experiencing difficulty in breathing.
