The Gentle Art of Choking
Echoes of Broken Bonds: The Unspoken Pain in 'The Gentle Art of Choking'
Lyrics
Don't look at me that way
Feeling judged or scrutinized
I know what you're gonna say
Aware of the anticipated message or response
It's on your face
Expression of the expected message on the face
The scars went up in flames
Previous emotional wounds resurfacing
While we waited for the rain
Waiting for relief or cleansing that never comes
That never came
Disappointment at unfulfilled expectations
They tried to follow you
Others attempting to emulate or pursue
Yeah I always wanted to
Longing to follow despite challenges
Through black and blue
Facing difficulties together
But how can I explain
Difficulty in expressing or justifying actions
When you're taking all the blame
Taking responsibility for problems or consequences
Until the end
Enduring challenges until the conclusion
They've left you out on your own
Abandoned and physically harmed by others
And they've broken all of your bones
Enduring severe physical injuries
And I'm turning
Personal decision to disengage
And I'm walking away
Choosing to walk away from a situation
Don't look at me that way
Recurrence of feeling judged or scrutinized
I heard what you had to say
Acknowledgment of received communication
It's not your place
Establishing boundaries or asserting individuality
The feelings are replaced
Emotions replaced or changed
And the words have all decayed
Communication deteriorating over time
And it's another day
Repetition of mundane or ordinary days
and it's another day
-And it's another day
-They've left you out on your own
Reiteration of being abandoned and harmed
And they've broken all of your bones
Continued suffering from severe injuries
And they're turning
Repetition of the decision to disengage and walk away
And they're walking away
-And they're turning
-And they're walking away
-
