Suffocate
Navigating the Shadows: The Honest Heart Collective's Struggle With Expectations
Lyrics
As much as this hurts to admit
Expressing difficulty in admitting something painful.
Could you keep it secret?
Asking if the listener can keep a secret.
I'm an act, it's a front
Acknowledging a facade or pretense.
Just a boy out for blood
Describing oneself as a person seeking revenge or satisfaction.
So nobody can see I'm
Concealing vulnerabilities to avoid disappointment.
Desperately avoiding bitter disappointment
Avoiding bitter disappointment is a constant struggle.
Tell me if it starts to show
Requesting feedback if true feelings become apparent.
Them flashing lights are boring
Expressing boredom with attention or fame.
Probably should ignore em
Suggesting the need to ignore distractions.
Anyways please take me home
Requesting to be taken home, possibly seeking comfort.
I spent my whole life trying to get here
Reflecting on a lifetime of effort to achieve a goal.
Do I even want it now?
Questioning current desire for the previously sought goal.
Should've tempered all my expectations
Regretting not managing expectations in the past.
Or been somebody else
Contemplating being someone else to avoid disappointment.
Since all this blood I've been tasting
Feeling overwhelmed by the consequences of one's actions.
Suffocates me now
Expressing the suffocating impact of past choices.
Over a decade under the influence
Describing a prolonged influence of a teenage obsession.
Of a teenage obsession
Being guided by youthful passion and fixation.
Being lead by the wrist
Following blindly, perhaps without clear direction.
Eyes wild, raised fist
Depicting a rebellious attitude with a raised fist.
A punk without a message
Identifying as a punk without a clear message or purpose.
Desperately avoiding bitter disappointment
Continuing to avoid bitter disappointment.
Yeah I guess you've always known
Acknowledging that someone else has insight into the situation.
Them flashing lights were all I ever really wanted They'd rather blind us both
Yearning for attention represented by flashing lights.
I spent my whole life trying to get here
Reiterating a lifelong pursuit of a goal.
Do I even want it now?
Questioning current desire and motivation.
Should've tempered all my expectations
Expressing regret for not managing expectations in the past.
Or been somebody else
Contemplating being someone else to avoid disappointment.
Since all this blood I've been tasting
Feeling overwhelmed by the consequences of one's actions.
Suffocates me now
Reiterating the suffocating impact of past choices.
I'm desperately avoiding bitter disappointment
Continuing the struggle to avoid bitter disappointment.
I'm desperately avoiding bitter disappointment
Repeating the theme of avoiding bitter disappointment.
I spent my whole life trying to get here
Reiterating a lifetime of effort to achieve a goal.
Do I even want it now?
Questioning current desire and reflecting on worthiness.
Should've tempered all my expectations
Expressing regret for not managing expectations in the past.
Or been somebody else
Contemplating being someone else to avoid disappointment.
I spent my whole life trying to get here
Reiterating a lifelong pursuit of a goal and acknowledging failure.
And I even let you down
Acknowledging letting someone down.
All this blood I've been tasting
Feeling the consequences of past actions.
Suffocates me now
Reiterating the suffocating impact of past choices.
