Lyrics
Fly too high and you'll always get burnt
Flying too high leads to inevitable consequences and pain.
Finding words but they all seem to hurt
Struggling to find words that don't cause harm or hurt others.
I'm scared all the time
Constant fear dominates the speaker's emotions.
All I've done you say is nothing at all
Others perceive the speaker's actions as insignificant.
All this time I've spent tearing down walls
Invested time in breaking down barriers but ended up abandoned.
Just to get left behind
Feeling left behind despite efforts to connect with others.
So who could blame me if I gave it all away
Contemplating giving up everything, feeling unappreciated.
I tried my best does that make it ok
Questioning if trying one's best justifies the difficulties faced.
Life is fair but when it all leaves my head
Life is just, but the speaker struggles to retain memories.
I've got time to spare but I feel i'm already dead
Despite having time, the speaker feels emotionally lifeless.
Reminded daily of who I've become
Being reminded daily of a changed, possibly negative, self.
Keep to myself I'm comfortably numb
Choosing isolation to avoid emotional pain.
I promise I'm fine
Assuring others of well-being while struggling internally.
All this time I've spent fighting for fame
Time spent in the pursuit of fame, questioning its value.
What's it worth, you won't remember my name
Wondering if fame is worth pursuing if forgotten in the end.
If I made it I'd fade with time
Even success would fade away with time.
So who could blame me if I gave it all away
Considering giving up everything due to perceived failure.
I tried my best does that make it ok
Reflecting on efforts made and questioning their significance.
Life is fair but when it all leaves my head
Life's fairness contrasts with the loss of memories.
I've got time to spare but I feel i'm already dead
Having time but feeling emotionally detached or "dead."
I don't wanna hear it
Rejecting the desire to hear criticism or judgment.
The curtain call
A reference to the final act of a performance or life.
So sick of faking
Expressing weariness of pretending and faking emotions.
Don't care at all
Indifference to the opinions or concerns of others.
Need to escape but I'm too self aware
Feeling trapped despite the awareness of needing an escape.
My heroes ending
The speaker's heroes or role models are facing their end.
The guilt I bear
Bearing the guilt associated with the ending of admired figures.
I hope you're listening
Expressing a hope that others are attentive while the speaker faces difficulties.
While I dig my grave
Dramatically contemplating self-destruction or downfall.
Don't feel bad
Reassuring others not to feel responsible for the speaker's life.
It's not your life to save
Emphasizing that saving the speaker is not someone else's responsibility.
It's finally time to just give up the dream
Acknowledging the need to abandon an unattainable dream.
Remember me
A final plea to be remembered despite letting go of aspirations.
