Lyrics
Call me up again
Expressing a desire to be contacted again
You know me in moments like these
Acknowledging familiarity in specific moments
It’s easy to pretend
Highlighting the ease of pretending in certain situations
In contract no life is free
Suggesting constraints in a contractual or controlled life
Wouldn’t be the first time you’d answer to me
Recalling previous instances of responsiveness
Designer memories
Referring to curated or artificial memories
Your breath getting colder each day
Observing a noticeable decrease in warmth in breath
You’re the one we cannot see
Addressing an unseen presence with mysterious qualities
But no don’t tempt me
Resisting temptation despite the situation
Wouldn’t be the first time I’m carried away
Recalling past experiences of being carried away
You’ve caged my heart
Expressing a feeling of being emotionally confined
Sending feathers down the mines we poisoned
Describing the negative impact of past actions on emotions
As if I’m alive
Questioning the authenticity of being alive
We’re breaking apart
Acknowledging a current state of disintegration
I see your shadow on the lives we’ve entered
Seeing the influence of someone's presence in shared experiences
Living a lie
Acknowledging a false or deceptive way of living
It has to stop this time
Expressing a determination to end a certain situation
I won’t rise from lower than here
Rejecting the idea of rising from a lower state
What life is left is mine
Claiming the remaining life as one's own
I swear I will hold it near
Promising to cherish the remaining life
Keep your power in fear
Advising to maintain control through fear
You’ve caged my heart
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally confined
Sending feathers down the mines we poisoned
Describing the negative impact of past actions on emotions
As if I’m alive
Questioning the authenticity of being alive
We’re breaking apart
Acknowledging a current state of disintegration
I see your shadow on the lives we’ve entered
Seeing the influence of someone's presence in shared experiences
Living a lie
Acknowledging a false or deceptive way of living
You’ve caged my heart
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally confined
Sending feathers down the mines we poisoned
Describing the negative impact of past actions on emotions
As if I’m alive
Questioning the authenticity of being alive
We’re breaking apart
Acknowledging a current state of disintegration
I see your shadow on the lives we’ve entered
Seeing the influence of someone's presence in shared experiences
Living a lie
Acknowledging a false or deceptive way of living
