Lyrics
I died today,
The speaker metaphorically expresses a personal or emotional death.
But I'm still breathing,
Despite the metaphorical death, the speaker is physically alive and continues to breathe.
Bleeding,
The speaker is experiencing emotional pain or distress, symbolized by bleeding.
For now,
The emotional suffering is temporary ("for now").
I'm broken.
The speaker feels emotionally shattered or damaged.
You left me here,
The speaker addresses someone who has abandoned or betrayed them.
Capsized and sinking,
The speaker feels overwhelmed and sinking emotionally, using the metaphor of a capsized ship.
Thinking, right now,
The speaker reflects on the situation and acknowledges the absence of positive thoughts.
There's no more good guys.
The speaker declares a loss of faith in morally upright or virtuous individuals ("good guys").
You left me standing here,
The person addressed has left the speaker alone and emotionally distant.
Alone and colder,
The speaker feels isolated and colder emotionally.
I hope that some day soon,
The speaker expresses a desire for the pain to end in the future.
The pain inside will stop.
The speaker hopes for relief from emotional suffering soon.
You died today,
A shift in perspective, addressing the same emotional experience from the other person's point of view.
But you're still breathing,
Similar to line 2, the other person is physically alive despite metaphorical death.
In my mind,
The other person's existence is still present in the speaker's thoughts.
That is,
Clarifies that the presence is only in the speaker's mind.
There's no more good guys.
Reiterates the loss of faith in morally upright individuals, possibly emphasizing mutual disappointment.
You left me standing here,
Repetition of the feeling of being left alone and emotionally distant.
Alone and colder,
Repetition of the emotional isolation and coldness.
I hope that some day soon,
Reiteration of the hope for future relief from emotional pain.
The pain inside will stop
Repetition of the desire for the pain to stop in the future.
I hoped you'd see me,
The speaker expresses a wish for recognition or understanding from the other person.
I hoped you'd understand,
The speaker had hoped for empathy or comprehension from the other person.
Or crucify me for my failings,
The speaker anticipates either understanding or harsh judgment for their flaws.
My cruel ambition,
Acknowledges personal flaws and the potential for ambitious but unkind actions.
Hardly justified,
Suggests that the speaker's ambitious actions are not easily justified.
And the pain inside will, stop.
Reiteration of the hope for the emotional pain to cease.
