Suffocate
Suffocate: Unveiling the Battle Within
Lyrics
Hey
Expression used to grab attention or initiate communication.
My conscious on the run
Feeling guilty or troubled, avoiding facing the truth.
It's only 'cause I forgot to tell you're not the only one
Realization that there are others besides the listener.
Come and show me what you've got
Challenging the listener to demonstrate their abilities or qualities.
My guess is better than yours
Asserting one's belief in having superior knowledge or intuition.
About what I am and what you're not
Comparing self-perception with the listener's perceived shortcomings.
Yeah
Exclamation used to convey agreement or acknowledgment.
Whoa
Expressing surprise or amazement.
Come on and hate me
Inviting the listener to express hatred or resentment.
Whoa
Reiterating the invitation for the listener to harbor negative feelings.
Come on and hate me
Continuing to encourage the listener to feel animosity.
My reputation precedes me
One's reputation is known before their actual presence or actions.
In everything that you see
Implying that perceptions about oneself are based on appearances.
May not be the best of me or of her or of him that could be
Recognition that judgments about oneself or others might not be accurate.
Nothing in the past relate
Nothing in the past is relevant or applicable to the current situation.
Pledge to us your undying hate
Asking for a commitment to hate or despise together.
With these memories of you suffocating me, suffocating you
Recalling memories of feeling suffocated by the listener and vice versa.
Breath, in your fascination
Encouraging the listener to take interest in how the speaker overcame suffering.
About how I overcame how I suffered with our asphyxiation
Referencing the listener's role in the speaker's past suffocation and recovery.
You
Assertion that the listener isn't the only significant person in the speaker's life.
You're not all that I've got
Implication that the listener isn't the sole focus of the speaker's attention.
I hope the things I scream from my mouth that you
Hope that what the speaker communicates verbally impacts the listener.
