Lyrics

​Through the glass

Seeing a distorted image through a glass

I see an image

Observing an image that distorts one's self-perception

Distorting what I know is me

Recognizing that the distorted image is a misrepresentation of oneself

End the noise

Desire to end external disturbances or distractions

Can I stop and think of what could be?

Contemplating the possibility of pausing to consider alternate realities


I let misery open doors to see

Allowing misery to open doors for self-exploration

I'm not free yet

Expressing a lack of freedom

I'm not free of you

Acknowledging a lingering connection or influence


Screaming tears again

Experiencing emotional distress through tears

A means to an end

Seeing tears as a means to an end, possibly catharsis

Just break me for all to see

Willingness to be broken and exposed to others


I'll get in my skin

Expressing a desire to inhabit one's own identity

And I'll only breathe for you

Committing to living for someone else

Like you want me too

Willingness to conform to another's expectations

Don't get in my skin

Rejecting external influences and staying true to oneself

I feel you in my view

Feeling the presence of another in one's perspective

Baby black and blue

Describing a state of emotional distress, "black and blue"


I see through your eyes

Gaining insight through another's perspective

Mirrors blur the skies

Reflections in mirrors distorting reality

Just leave me

Expressing a desire to be left alone

And stay within

Encouraging another to remain within one's life


Give me your skin

Desiring to experience life from another's perspective

I'm sick of being stuck inside of mine

Frustration with being confined within one's own identity


I want you to want me

Expressing a desire for mutual affection and connection


You were the unknown

Referring to someone as an unknown or mysterious figure

I feel it in my bones

Sensing or anticipating something profound at a deep level


I know the night gets dark

Acknowledging the difficulty of navigating through dark times
