Escape the Abyss: Renascentia's Poetic Struggle with Despair
Lyrics
I'm in the middle of the ocean with concrete tied to my feet
I feel trapped and overwhelmed, symbolized by being in the ocean with concrete tied to my feet.
You are the water filling my lungs but it's okay because I'm not trying to breathe
You, the other person, are causing distress, but I accept it without resistance.
Will I ever get tired of you
Questioning whether the emotional burden caused by the other person will ever end.
Running through my head
The person occupies my thoughts continuously.
Will I ever get tired of me
Reflecting on self-worth and contemplating the desire for change.
Wishing I was dead
Expressing a strong desire for escape or relief, even contemplating death.
Wishing I was dead
-Time after time I've brought myself to the edge
Repeated experiences of pushing oneself to the brink emotionally.
Time after time I've hid myself and tried to force the end
Repeated attempts to hide from problems and seek an end to suffering.
Maybe I just need
Expressing a need, possibly for change or escape from the current situation.
Maybe I just need
-To run away
Reiterating the desire to run away from difficulties.
You're killing me
The other person's actions are emotionally damaging and taking a toll on the speaker.
You're killing me
-Can't you see
-You're killing me
-Do I mean nothing
Questioning one's significance in the eyes of the other person.
I tried to bury the pain but there's no way
Attempts to bury emotional pain are futile, making it difficult to envision a future.
I can make it to tomorrow
Expressing the struggle to persevere until the next day.
Time after time I've brought myself to the edge
Repetition of bringing oneself to the emotional edge, indicating a recurring struggle.
Time after time I've hid myself and tried to force the end
Repeating the pattern of hiding from problems in an attempt to bring an end to suffering.
Maybe I just need
Reiterating the need for change or escape from the current emotional turmoil.
Maybe I just need
-To run away
Repeating the desire to run away from difficulties, emphasizing the escape theme.
