Lyrics
The world is getting colder
The world is becoming colder.
The closer you get to me
As you approach me, the environment becomes colder, possibly reflecting emotional distance.
We both know it's kill or be killed
Both individuals acknowledge a survival instinct of "kill or be killed."
And thus ghosts are never free
Ghosts, symbolizing unresolved issues or memories, are never truly free.
My mental state is rotting
The speaker's mental state is deteriorating.
There's nothing left to do
There seems to be a sense of hopelessness or lack of options.
(My mental state is rotting)
Reiteration of the deteriorating mental state and a feeling of helplessness.
(There's nothing left to do)
-Must take down everybody
The speaker feels compelled to bring down everyone and everything, including the listener.
And everything I knew
-(Must take down everybody)
-(And that's including you)
-Ashes and time
Reference to ashes, time, and dandelions suggests a mix of past experiences and the struggle to let go.
Mixed in with the dandelions
-Living emptiness has taken hold
-I see the lines
-But I've died too many times
-And I just can't seem to let it go, oh
-Dark twisted vines
Dark twisted vines represent challenges from a world lacking positivity. The speaker struggles to move on.
From a world that never shines
-This determination's getting old
-I've seen the sky
-But my feelings fell behind
-And I just can't seem to let it go
-This lifeless world we live in
Describes a lifeless world governed by rules, numbers, and machines.
Has rules behind the scenes
-An endless string of numbers
-Managed by cold machines
-Looks like you have the power
The power to start anew exists, but only the metaphorical vines will endure in the final hour.
To start it all anew
-(Looks like you have the power)
-(To start it all anew)
-But in the final hour
-Only the vines will make it through
-(But in the final hour)
-(My vines will swallow you)
-Ashes and time
Reiteration of the struggle with emptiness and an inability to let go of past experiences.
Mixed in with the dandelions
-Living emptiness has taken hold
-I see the lines
-But I've died too many times
-And I just can't seem to let it go, oh
-Dark twisted vines
The determination to overcome challenges is wearing thin, and the speaker remains stuck in the past.
From a world that never shines
-This determination's getting old
-I've seen the sky
-But my feelings fell behind
-And I just can't seem to let it go
-Ashes and time
Continuation of the theme of living emptiness and an enduring struggle with the past.
Mixed in with the dandelions
-Living emptiness has taken hold
-I see the lines
-But I've died too many times
-And I just can't seem to let it go, oh
-Dark twisted vines
Reiteration of the dark, twisted vines symbolizing challenges from a world lacking brightness, with persistent emotional struggles.
From a world that never shines
-This determination's getting old
-I've seen the sky
-But my feelings fell behind
-And I just can't seem to let it go
