Well the tongue inside my mouth is not for sale

The speaker's words, expressed through their tongue, are not available for purchase.

Any spirit left in me is fading fast

The speaker feels a diminishing of the remaining spirit within them.

Could you throw another stone to ease my pain?

A plea for someone to throw another metaphorical "stone" to alleviate the speaker's pain.

Could you throw another stone to seal my fate?

A request for another action to solidify the speaker's fate, possibly through hardship or consequence.

Cause I don't believe in this world anymore, anymore

The speaker expresses a lack of belief in the world and themselves.

I don't believe in me

The speaker loses faith in their own existence.


And if I can rise above this Ill be saved

If the speaker can overcome their struggles, there is hope for salvation.

Can anybody save me?

An appeal for someone to save the speaker.

And if I can die for love then I'm enslaved

The willingness to sacrifice oneself for love, but feeling enslaved by it.

Can anybody save me?

A repeated plea for someone to save the speaker.


Second chances are too few and far between

Second chances are rare, and the speaker struggles to change their circumstances.

Will to change this circumstance eludes me still

The will to change is elusive for the speaker.

Should I grow another shell in which to live?

Contemplation of whether the speaker should build emotional defenses (grow another shell) to endure.

Should I grow another shell and not forgive?

Considering whether to build defenses and not forgive.

Cause I don't believe in this world anymore, anymore

Reiteration of the disbelief in the world and oneself.

I don't believe in me

Reaffirmation of the loss of belief in the speaker's own existence.


And if I can rise above this Ill be saved

Hope for salvation if the speaker can overcome their struggles.

Can anybody save me?

Repeated plea for someone to save the speaker.

And if I can die for love then I'm enslaved

Feeling enslaved by the possibility of dying for love.

Can anybody save me?

Repetition of the plea for salvation.


Goodbye cruel world

A farewell to the cruel world.

Goodbye cruel world

A repeated farewell to the cruel world.

Goodbye cruel world, at last you see me drown

The world finally witnesses the speaker's metaphorical drowning and demise.


And if I can rise above this Ill be saved

If the speaker can overcome their struggles, there is hope for salvation.

Can anybody save me?

And if I can die for love then I'm enslaved
