Ephemeral Echoes: Navigating Love and Decay in 'Dead Green'
Lyrics
Time won't tell
Time doesn't reveal everything
Keeps it hush
Keeps things quiet or secret
The wait here crushes my skull enough
The anticipation or waiting is causing extreme mental distress
Faint and cold to the touch
Weak and lacking warmth when touched
I fear the earth will part and swallow me up
Fear of being consumed or overwhelmed by circumstances
While I'm taking the fall for ya
Taking blame or responsibility for someone else
I'm the one you have to save
Feeling responsible for rescuing someone
But I don't wanna have to stay awake
Doesn't want to remain conscious or aware
Take your hands out of my brain
Stop controlling or manipulating my thoughts
Branches turning into veins
Connections or relationships transforming into something consuming or suffocating
They've grown into you the same
Those connections have become integral to you in the same way
Do we have to live to stay?
Questioning the necessity of existence to persist
You don't have to decay
You don't need to deteriorate or worsen
Still I watch you await the day
Observing someone waiting for something to happen
I feel you racking your brain
Sensing someone struggling mentally
Funny how you think it won't be the same today
Irony in assuming things won't be the same despite feeling that way
I guess to live is to waste
Suggesting that living is often wasteful
Away
Away or gone
I can't help it
Unable to control it
(now don't you hate the feeling that you've had enough)
Disliking the feeling of having reached a limit
I can't help it
Still unable to control it
(cut it off don't keep me guessing when you've had enough)
Stop keeping someone in suspense when they've reached their limit
I can't help it
Still unable to control it, implying a desire to be done or over with
(dig a hole and throw me in it when you've had enough)
An extreme metaphor suggesting a desire for an end when someone's had enough
I'm the one you have to save
Feeling responsible for someone's rescue
But I don't wanna have to stay awake
Doesn't want to remain conscious or aware (repeated)
Take your hands out of my brain
Stop controlling or manipulating my thoughts (repeated)
Branches turning into veins
Connections or relationships transforming into something consuming or suffocating (repeated)
They've grown into you the same
Those connections have become integral to you in the same way (repeated)
Do we have to live to stay?
Questioning the necessity of existence to persist (repeated)
I don't want to be afraid
Doesn't want to experience fear again
Afraid
Fearful once more (repeated)
Again
Another instance of fear or apprehension (repeated)
