Lyrics

A single shiver through my whole body

A physical sensation of a shiver running through the entire body.

And the quickening pace of my cold heartbeat

An increase in the speed of the speaker's cold heartbeat.

I still can't figure out just quite why I feel so heavy

The speaker is unable to fully understand why they feel a profound sense of heaviness.

So heavy

Reiteration of the intense emotional weight experienced by the speaker.

When silence seems to be the only way

In times of silence, the speaker finds clarity in their thoughts.

That I can even begin to think straight

Thinking straight seems possible only in moments of silence.

And I still don't know the reason why I feel so heavy

Despite silence, the speaker remains uncertain about the cause of their emotional burden.

So heavy

Reiteration of the overwhelming emotional weight experienced by the speaker.

I'm heavy, not trying to weigh you down

The speaker acknowledges their heaviness but expresses no intention to burden others.

But all of me is breaking breaking

The speaker is undergoing a process of internal fragmentation.

I am heavy, I am heavy

Reiteration of the speaker's acknowledgment of their emotional weight.

Open fire without a warning

A sudden and unanticipated release of emotions without warning.

Cause I've been holding every small thing in

The speaker has been suppressing small emotions or issues.

And I wonder how I don't know why I feel so heavy

The speaker wonders why they feel heavily burdened despite not understanding the cause.

So heavy

Reiteration of the intense emotional weight experienced by the speaker.

I'm heavy, not trying to weigh you down

But all of me is breaking breaking

I am heavy, I am heavy

Reiteration of the speaker's acknowledgment of their emotional weight.

So heavy for something so empty

The speaker feels heavily burdened despite the emptiness of the situation.

I don't need you keeping me steady

I'll take half as much as you let me

The speaker is willing to accept less support than offered.

You're not who I'm trying to be

The speaker is not striving to become someone they are not.

I'm heavy, words I cannot say aloud

Expressing the weight of unspoken words carried by the speaker.

And all of me is breaking breaking down

Reiteration of the internal fragmentation process and emotional breakdown.

I'm heavy, I am heavy

Reiteration of the speaker's acknowledgment of their emotional weight.

I'm heavy, not trying to weigh you down

Similar to line 9 and 16, expressing the speaker's burden without intent to burden others.

I am heavy, I am heavy
