Quiet Anger
Quiet Anguish: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Yeah I feel so paper thin
Expressing a feeling of extreme fragility or vulnerability.
I conceal my hate within
Concealing intense anger or resentment internally.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Pretending to say what others want to hear.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Repetition emphasizes the facade of saying what's expected.
It's unreal to see the spin
Noticing the artificiality or deception in a situation.
A raw deal that grew within
A negative situation that has developed from an unfair deal.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Continuing the facade of saying pleasing things.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Repeating the act of saying what others want to hear.
'Cause I'm holding on so close to giving up
Expressing the struggle of holding on despite wanting to give up.
My grip is fading and I wanna jump
Describing the weakening resolve and a desire to escape.
You've got a hold on me
Acknowledging someone's influence or control.
Not where I wanna be
Feeling discontent with the current situation.
Right where you wanted me
Being exactly where the manipulator intended.
A small voice just to agree
Having a small voice, possibly feeling insignificant.
I'm slipping lower, gotta climb back up
Experiencing a decline and the need to rise again.
A hate that's bolder and I've had enough
Dealing with a stronger and overwhelming hatred.
You've got a hold on me
Reiterating the control or influence someone has.
Not where I wanna be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state.
Right where you wanted me
Being exactly in the position the manipulator desires.
A small voice just to agree
Having a small voice that merely agrees with others.
It's useless
Labeling the situation as futile or without purpose.
Contusions
Mentions of injuries or harm, possibly emotional.
The bruises
Highlighting the visible signs of harm.
I've lost you
Suggesting a loss or separation from someone.
Fallen by the wayside
Falling out of favor or losing importance.
I'm lost with way too much direction
Feeling lost despite having too many directions.
A grey line of razor blades
Describing a situation with a fine line that can cause harm.
An incline in selfish ways
An upward trend in selfish behavior.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Continuing to say pleasing things despite the situation.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Repeating the act of saying what others want to hear.
You've defined me and my place
Being defined and confined by someone else.
I'm confined inside your space
Feeling restricted within the space controlled by another.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Continuing the facade of saying pleasing things.
I'll tell you all you wanna hear
Repeating the act of saying what others want to hear.
'Cause I'm holding on so close to giving up
Expressing the struggle of holding on despite wanting to give up.
My grip is fading and I wanna jump
Describing the weakening resolve and a desire to escape.
You've got a hold on me
Acknowledging someone's influence or control.
Not where I wanna be
Feeling discontent with the current situation.
Right where you wanted me
Being exactly where the manipulator intended.
A small voice just to agree
Having a small voice, possibly feeling insignificant.
I'm slipping lower, gotta climb back up
Experiencing a decline and the need to rise again.
A hate that's bolder and I've had enough
Dealing with a stronger and overwhelming hatred.
You've got a hold on me
Reiterating the control or influence someone has.
Not where I wanna be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state.
Right where you wanted me
Being exactly in the position the manipulator desires.
A small voice just to agree
Having a small voice that merely agrees with others.
