Lyrics

Too many times has my body exposed

Expressing vulnerability or exposure of the speaker's body too many times.

Wave after wave my mind it goes

Continual waves of thoughts or emotions impacting the speaker's mind.

The breath of the wind sticks to my hands

Feeling the tangible effects of the wind, possibly symbolizing life's challenges.

Blood crawls inside me but not on my skin

Internal struggles (blood crawling) not visible externally.


They don't know what time is true

Others lack an understanding of true time, possibly metaphorical.

They don't know they're after you

A sense of pursuit or threat directed at the speaker.

I should've put up my wall

Regret over not establishing emotional boundaries or defenses.

Hidden so I can't see the blood on the other side

Desire to hide from harsh realities, including the sight of blood.

Too late for that, the guard has died

Recognition of the guard's demise, suggesting a loss of protection.


Cold to watch the sun go down, it's hot up here

Observing the sunset while feeling emotional coldness.

people are covered in containers in this atmosphere

People enclosed in containers, possibly symbolizing societal confinement.

I don't have that plastic, that hard outside

Lack of emotional resilience or protective exterior.

It rotted away Its a tragic demise

Deterioration and tragedy associated with the speaker's emotional state.


They don't know what time is true

Reiteration of others' lack of awareness of true time.

They don't know they're after you

Continued sense of pursuit or threat directed at the speaker.

I should've put up my wall

Regret over not establishing emotional boundaries or defenses (repeated).

Hidden so I can't see the blood on the other side

Desire to hide from harsh realities, including the sight of blood (repeated).

Too late for that, the guard has died
