Thin Air
Breathless Descent: Navigating Chaos and Self-Discovery in 'Thin Air'
Lyrics
Comatose in Tennessee
Feeling unresponsive or inactive in Tennessee.
Overdosed on empathy, again
Experiencing an excess of understanding or compassion, possibly causing harm.
Why should I surround myself
Questioning the choice to be surrounded by emptiness from others.
With the nothing that could come from someone else
Avoiding connections that may offer nothing meaningful.
The feeling might not die with me
Suggesting emotions or experiences may persist beyond one's own existence.
Laugh along
Encouraging laughter despite difficulties.
Hope this fades
Expressing a desire for a particular feeling to diminish over time.
Again we pretend from the start to the end
Engaging in pretense from the beginning to the end.
I'm amazed
Experiencing a sense of wonder or astonishment.
Tossed aside beneath the trees
Feeling discarded or neglected under trees.
Synthesized with ecstasy, I fall
Mixing reality with ecstasy, leading to a fall.
Shades of Earth caress the floor
Earthly tones gently touch the ground.
Where I stand to face my fears but I want more
Standing to confront fears but desiring more.
You dug below to find them all
Someone explored deeply to uncover all fears.
Hum along
Encouraging humming and creating a positive atmosphere.
Wait, persuade
Requesting patience and persuasion.
Again and again and again and again
Repetition of engaging in cycles of pretense and feeling fear.
I'm afraid
Experiencing anxiety or apprehension.
I hope my blood runs out before I'm trapped
Expressing a hope for an end before being trapped.
Another retraced step's been discarded intact
A previously retraced step being discarded intact.
Before I lose myself to something I control
Before losing control to something.
I got my head turned straight against the breeze
Having a clear perspective but facing difficult conditions.
But now the air's so thin I got nothing to breathe
Air becoming thin, symbolizing a lack of sustenance.
And now my stained glass lungs refuse to fill the hole
Stained glass lungs refusing to fill a void or emptiness.
It's far too close to home
Feeling uncomfortably close to home or reality.
Undersold and overspent
Undervalued and having spent more than received.
Jealous of my ignorance, you drown
Experiencing envy of ignorance while drowning.
You came to ask if I was numb
Being questioned about emotional numbness.
To the chaos born from every broken tongue
Chaos originating from broken communication.
You let my silence bring you down
Silence bringing down others.
Something strong
Referring to something strong or resilient.
Burned away
Being burned away for purification.
We try to amend 'till it breaks and I'm cleansed
Attempting to repair until it breaks and experiencing cleansing.
Of the pain
Freedom from pain after the process.
I hope my blood runs out before I'm trapped
Reiterating a hope for an end before entrapment.
Another retraced step's been discarded intact
A step retraced and discarded without change.
Before I lose myself to something I control
Before losing control to something.
I got my head turned straight against the breeze
Having a clear perspective but facing difficult conditions.
But now the air's so thin I got nothing to breathe
Air becoming thin, symbolizing a lack of sustenance.
And now my stained glass lungs refuse to fill the hole
Stained glass lungs refusing to fill a void or emptiness.
I'll breathe me when I drown
Suggesting self-reliance during drowning.
Out of breath my world stops turning, here
Running out of breath and experiencing a world that stops turning.
I hope my blood runs out before I'm trapped
Reiterating a hope for an end before entrapment.
Another retraced step's been discarded intact
A step retraced and discarded without change.
Before I lose myself to something I control
Before losing control to something.
I got my head turned straight against the breeze
Having a clear perspective but facing difficult conditions.
But now the air's so thin I got nothing to breathe
Air becoming thin, symbolizing a lack of sustenance.
And now my stained glass lungs refuse to fill the hole
Stained glass lungs
