Deadlocked
Breaking Free from the Chains of Cynical Love
Lyrics
Deadlocked to the bed fingers on the edge
Feeling trapped and restrained in a difficult situation, possibly in a relationship.
This is where it ends you’re hurting my thigh
Expressing pain and signaling the end of something significant.
Ask me 1000 times you’re taking what’s mine
Repeated questioning about possession or control, feeling ownership is being taken away.
Force me to my knees you make my heart bleed
Being forced into a vulnerable position, experiencing emotional pain.
Wondering why I’m so meek like I can’t speak
Reflecting on a sense of powerlessness, struggling to express oneself.
You buried me between these sheets
Metaphorically buried or trapped in a difficult situation.
Just lie till it’s over
Advocating deception to endure a difficult situation.
Guilty like a criminal
Feeling culpable or responsible, likened to a criminal.
You’re so fucking cynical
Perceiving someone as distrustful and negative.
Don’t know how to erase all these memories
Struggling to forget painful memories.
Never meant nothing
Emphasizing that actions had no intended harm.
When did I send an invitation
Questioning the initiation of a difficult situation.
It shouldn’t matter what I wear
Rejecting the idea that appearance justifies mistreatment.
You don’t need an explanation why
Challenging the need for an explanation for one's actions.
I thought this love was rare
Expressing disappointment in a love that was expected to be special.
You are such a thief
Accusing someone of stealing emotions or trust.
But you’re dealing with grief
Dealing with grief while confronting the accused.
I’d put you in a grave
Expressing intense anger and a desire for revenge.
But instead I just forgave
Choosing forgiveness over revenge despite intense emotions.
I’m so sick of you
Expressing strong aversion and frustration towards someone.
stop throwing me across the room
Experiencing physical abuse and urging the abuser to stop.
Just lie till it’s over
Advocating deception again to endure a difficult situation.
Guilty like a criminal
Reiterating feelings of guilt and criminality.
You’re so fucking cynical
Describing someone as distrustful and negative, again.
Don’t know how to erase all these memories
Struggling to forget memories, reiterated from earlier lines.
When did I send an invitation
Revisiting the question of initiating a difficult situation.
It shouldn’t matter what I wear
Reaffirming that appearance shouldn't justify mistreatment.
You don’t need an explanation why
Questioning the need for an explanation, reiterated from earlier lines.
I thought this love was rare
Reiterating disappointment in a love that was expected to be special.
You don’t even know how to fix this
Expressing frustration at the inability to repair the situation.
You broke me one hundred times
Conveying the emotional damage inflicted repeatedly.
You don’t need an explanation why
Reiterating the question of needing an explanation for one's actions.
I want you to be gone
Expressing a strong desire for the person to leave.
My lips are are black and blue
Describing physical harm, likely from suffocation or choking.
Because I am so deprived of O2
Attributing physical distress to a lack of oxygen.
Where would I start if I spoke about you
Pondering where to begin when speaking about the person causing distress.
There is no one left to call
Feeling isolated with no one to turn to for help.
because you deleted them all
Expressing loneliness and a lack of social support.
Trying to hide the marks on the wall
Trying to conceal evidence of harm inflicted on the environment.
When did I send an invitation
Revisiting the question of initiating a difficult situation, repeated from earlier lines.
It shouldn’t matter what I wear
Reaffirming that appearance shouldn't justify mistreatment, repeated from earlier lines.
You don’t need an explanation why
Questioning the need for an explanation, reiterated from earlier lines.
Why I thought this love was rare
Reiterating disappointment in a love that was expected to be special, repeated from earlier lines.
