Everything
A Symphony of Pain: Tapping the Vein's 'Everything' Unveiled
Lyrics
They tell me I have to get out of bed
Feeling pressured to get out of bed.
They tell me I have to keep up my strength
Being advised to maintain physical strength.
I've got to eat something
Required to eat, potentially with a negative outlook.
I'm hoping that the taste will kill me
Expressing a hope that the taste of food will be harmful.
I have agonized to find a different way
Struggling to find an alternative solution to problems.
And there is no soothing for the boiling of my skin
Experiencing intense inner turmoil without relief.
There is no comfort here
Emphasizing the absence of comfort in the current situation.
So what if I'm standing here?
Questioning one's presence in a challenging situation.
I still hurt from my hair to my feet
Expressing pervasive physical pain.
I know this is nothing now but once it was everything
Reflecting on the diminished importance of a past experience.
They tell me I have to get up and dressed
Being instructed to get up and dressed.
They tell me I have to start getting out
Advised to start going out, possibly for recovery.
I've got to keep busy
Encouraged to stay busy, possibly to distract from pain.
Maybe exertion will do me in
Suggesting that physical activity may have detrimental effects.
I have been defiled a thousand different ways
Expressing a sense of being violated in numerous ways.
There is no pressure for the hemorrhaging
Emphasizing the absence of relief for internal bleeding.
There is no healing me
Stating that there is no cure or healing for the speaker.
So what if I'm walking now?
Questioning the significance of walking despite challenges.
I still burn every time that I breathe
Expressing continued pain with every breath despite movement.
I know this is nothing now but once it was everything
Reflecting on the changed significance of a past experience.
It rips me from my dreams
Experiencing a disturbance that interrupts dreams.
I swear I hear your voice
Sensing the presence or influence of someone through a voice.
I run from room to room to find you
Searching for a person based on their voice within different rooms.
So what if I'm walking now?
Reiterating the significance of walking despite challenges.
I still burn every time that I breathe
Continuing to experience pain with each breath despite movement.
I know this is nothing
Acknowledging that the current situation is perceived as insignificant.
Nothing
Emphasizing the perceived lack of value in the current state.
To me this is everything
Affirming that the current situation holds great importance to the speaker.
