Lyrics
I'm a breath of fresh air, that will make you choke
I bring a refreshing change, but it may be overwhelming or challenging for you
The last shred of despair, before you tie your rope
The final feeling of hopelessness before reaching a breaking point
Though I won't ever obtain, you're the attention that I crave
Despite not being able to attain something, seeking your attention is my desire
And in my heart you will remain, in case I ever feel afraid
Your presence will be a source of comfort and security for me when I'm scared
Don't put your blame on me, I've done all that I can
Don't blame me for the situation; I've done my best
Promise me that you'll never leave, or let go of my hand
Pledge not to leave or release my hand, indicating a need for constant support
Don't put your tabs on me, I'm not a soda can
Don't label or categorize me; I'm not a disposable object
All I want is to be free, if you will not take my hand
Desire for freedom if support is not provided
I'm gonna need some help getting through this constant pain
Requesting assistance to cope with ongoing pain
When I feel like I'm in hell, you're the calming drops of rain
Your presence is a soothing relief during difficult times
Fighting my fear from within, can you feel my apprehension?
Battling internal fear and seeking acknowledgment of apprehension
Walking a line that's so thin, still seeking your attention
Navigating a precarious path while still desiring your attention
How many days have passed, I just can't tell, the sun never seems to shine
Uncertainty about the passage of time and a sense of perpetual darkness
Round and round like a carousel, you're stuck with me on this ride
A metaphorical reference to being stuck together in life's ups and downs
Left alone with thoughts on which to dwell, only myself to confide
Isolation with personal thoughts as the only source of solace
Lock the door to my prison cell, but yours is right next to mine
Symbolic imprisonment with proximity to another's struggles
What kind of tricks did you forget to teach?
Questioning the untaught lessons or skills necessary for a situation
Did you hide them up your sleeve?
Suspecting hidden motives or actions
Sovereignty was always out of reach
An unattainable sense of control or independence
But you bit off the hand that feeds
Mistreatment of a provider or supporter
We'll open every cell when we steal the keys
Planning to break free by taking control of the situation
Or at least that's the plan
Expressing a tentative plan to achieve freedom
All we want is to be free
A shared desire for freedom
Do you fucking understand?
Emphatic confirmation of the need for understanding
Do you fucking understand?
A forceful repetition of the need for comprehension
