Lyrics

Twisting

Expressing a sense of distortion or turmoil

Turning

Conveying a sense of changing or evolving

Crashing

Describing a forceful and destructive impact

Burning

Referring to intense emotional or physical suffering

All this

Highlighting the accumulation of challenges

Just to

Indicating that everything is done for a purpose

Break me

Suggesting a deliberate effort to cause emotional pain

Down

Emphasizing a breaking down or weakening


You don't know me

Stating a lack of understanding or recognition

You don't see me

Asserting a lack of visibility or acknowledgment

You don't own me cause I don't care

Rejecting possession or control due to indifference

But I'm still here

Affirming persistence despite challenges

Patiently waiting for you to disappear

Expressing a willingness to endure until someone vanishes

Is this my cross to bear

Pondering whether enduring difficulties is a personal burden


Faceless

Describing a lack of identity or recognition

Faking

Acting or pretending without a distinct identity

Pushing

Exerting force or influence and obtaining

Taking

Acquiring or obtaining through force or influence

All this

Emphasizing the toll of challenges for a purpose

Just to

Reiterating that everything is done with intention

Bring me

Referring to efforts to bring someone down emotionally

Down

Underlining the act of weakening or breaking down


You don't know me

Reiterating a lack of understanding or recognition

You don't see me

Reemphasizing a lack of visibility or acknowledgment

You don't own me cause I don't care

Declining ownership due to indifference

But I'm still here

Persisting despite challenges and emotional pain

Patiently waiting for you to disappear

Remaining steadfast until someone disappears

Is this my cross to bear

Raising the question of whether enduring challenges is a personal burden


You don't know me

Reiterating a lack of understanding

You don't own me 'cause I'm aware

Rejecting ownership with awareness

And I'm still here

Persisting despite challenges with awareness

Patiently waiting for you to disappear

Enduring until someone disappears with awareness

Is this my cross to bear

Questioning the nature of enduring challenges

I'm still here

Affirming persistence even in the face of interference

Reluctantly waiting for you to interfere

Expressing a reluctant willingness to endure interference

This is my cross to bear

Affirming that enduring challenges is a personal burden
