Lyrics

Why can't,

Expressing a sense of frustration or confusion about the inability to feel alive.

Why can't I feel alive

Questioning the lack of emotional vitality.

Locked in

Suggesting being confined or restricted.

I've got it all to hide

Indicating a desire to conceal everything.

You've got me on the run

Acknowledging that someone has caused the speaker to be on the run or in a state of escape.

And yet I can't escape

Expressing the inability to break free from the situation.

This is my secret curse

Referring to a hidden and personal burden or affliction.

Cos I'm still here

Acknowledging the persistence of the speaker despite challenges.

Yes I'm

Reiterating the enduring presence of the speaker.

I'm lost I've come undone

Expressing a feeling of being lost and unraveling.

While I'm still here

Emphasizing the continued existence of the speaker.

I've got nowhere to run

Highlighting the absence of escape routes for the speaker.

Look down look down and see me cry

Inviting others to witness and acknowledge the speaker's emotional pain.

Try now try now to reach the sky

Encouraging an attempt to elevate oneself or overcome challenges.

You got me on the run

Reiterating the theme of being pursued or chased.

And yet I can't escape

Reinforcing the feeling of being trapped despite attempts to escape.

This is my secret curse

Repeating the idea of a concealed and personal burden or affliction.

Cos I'm

Emphasizing the ongoing existence of the speaker.

Still here

Reaffirming the persistence of the speaker despite challenges.

Yes I'm

While I'm still here

I've got nowhere to run

Reiterating the sense of having nowhere to run.

Cos I'm

Still here

Reaffirming the persistence of the speaker despite challenges.

Yes my

Affectionately addressing someone who has become integral to the speaker's identity.

My darling I've become

Acknowledging a transformation into the enduring and constant figure.

The one still here

Identifying oneself as the enduring presence.

With nowhere left to run
