Shattered Life
Rescue Me: Escaping a Shattered Existence
Lyrics
This wanting more from me is tearing me, its breaking me
This pressure to meet expectations is causing emotional distress and breaking the person.
But what you wants not mine to give
The person acknowledges that what is desired from them is beyond their capacity to provide.
Im your dollar sign, your brand new house, your product line
The person feels objectified, being reduced to symbols of wealth and success.
When youre done with me im spent
After fulfilling the demands placed on them, they are left drained and exhausted.
When the smoke is gone, I have to face what ive become
Reflecting on the consequences of their actions and facing the reality of their transformed self.
Will you rescue me? could you get me out alive
Pleading for help or support, questioning if there's a chance for rescue.
Im trying to hold on but I have lost the will to fight
Expressing a struggle to continue the fight, feeling a loss of determination.
Will you rescue me? take me far away from this shattered life
Reiterating the plea for rescue from the difficulties of their shattered life.
How can I go on pretending that theres nothing wrong
Confronting the challenge of pretending that everything is fine when it's not.
Life has brought me to my knees
Life's hardships have brought the person to a point of submission.
This mask I hide behind is killing me, theres nothing left
The facade or mask used to hide true feelings is causing internal harm.
Is there anyone who feels like me
Seeking connection with others who may share similar feelings of despair.
When the smoke is gone, I have to face what ive become
Repeating the realization that, once the distractions fade, the person must confront their reality.
Will you rescue me, could you get me out alive
Asking again for rescue and questioning the possibility of survival.
Im trying to hold on but I have lost the will to fight
Struggling to persevere but acknowledging a loss of the will to continue fighting.
Will you rescue me, take me far away from this shattered life
Reiterating the plea to be taken away from the broken state of life.
Will you rescue me, could you get me out alive
Repeating the plea for help and questioning the chance of survival.
Im trying to hold on but I have lost the will to fight
Expressing the difficulty of holding on while admitting a weakened will to fight.
Will you rescue me, take me far away from this shattered life
Reiterating the plea for rescue and escape from the shattered life.
From this shattered life
Summarizing the desire to escape and be rescued from the brokenness of life.
