First Breath After Mask
Journey Within: Unraveling the Depths of 'First Breath After Mask'
Lyrics
Hey, is that you?
Addressing someone, questioning their identity
Like a satellite in the starry sky
Comparing the person to a satellite in the expansive sky
My words have a way
Expressing difficulty in articulating thoughts
Of getting confused
Struggling with clarity and understanding
But eloquence is the first thing we sacrifice
Highlighting the sacrifice of eloquence in communication
I know it's no one's fault specifically
Acknowledging the absence of blame
So I bite my tongue as hard as I can try
Suppressing the desire to speak out
I walked out
Retreating into one's thoughts or inner world
Into the recess of my mind
Attempting to rationalize or understand a situation
And I tried to make sense
Struggling to find a logical explanation
But there's no reason, I can find
Feeling unable to find a valid reason
And now I'm almost home
Nearing a familiar place or state of mind
Stop crowding me
Desiring personal space and solitude
I'm alone
Emphasizing solitude despite being near home
I'm going to take this breath
Taking a deep breath as a calming mechanism
As deep as it will go
Seeking a sense of relief through a deep breath
I'm gonna try
Striving to connect with something beyond oneself
To make contact with the other side
Attempting to bridge the gap between two worlds
And halfway there
Expecting a positive outcome halfway through the process
Everything is going to be sunshine blinding me
Anticipating overwhelming brightness or positivity
And now I'm almost home
Nearing a familiar place or state of mind (repeated)
Don't squeeze me
Desiring personal space and freedom from confinement
I'm hollow
Feeling emotionally empty or vacant
And it gets to a point
Sensing an impending emotional eruption or breakdown
I think I might explode
Reaching a breaking point, feeling on the verge of exploding
And now I'm almost home
Nearing a familiar place or state of mind (repeated)
Don't dive in me
Desiring personal space and freedom from intrusion
I'm shallow
Feeling emotionally shallow or lacking depth
You're gonna hit the ground
Warning of the potential consequences of probing too deeply
Harder than you know
Anticipating severe repercussions if one delves too deeply
