Dead House
Embracing Shadows: Trash Rabbit's Tale of Yearning and Despair
Lyrics
And I can't wait, til I forget
Expressing anticipation for the moment when the speaker forgets something.
Cause every empty lapse in thought I fill with this
Describing a tendency to fill mental gaps with a particular activity or substance.
And I can't wait, til I can breathe
Eagerly waiting for the ability to breathe, possibly indicating a sense of suffocation or restriction.
Knowing that I have nothing else left to think
Acknowledging the relief that comes with having no other thoughts left to occupy the mind.
I dream about it on most nights
Revealing the frequency of dreaming about a specific subject or desire.
Cause when I dream it's over fear
Highlighting the dream state as a place of overcoming fear.
I don't know how to keep existing when I know you're out there
Expressing difficulty in continuing existence while being aware of someone's presence.
I can't live through this again
Stating an unwillingness to endure a certain experience again.
But I can't stop going through the thoughts, inside my head
Acknowledging an inability to cease repetitive thoughts within the mind.
At night I lock myself inside
Describing a nighttime ritual of self-isolation or withdrawal.
And hope to god this feeling dies
Expressing a desperate hope for the fading of a particular emotion or sensation.
You act like nothing happens so then why
Pondering why someone acts as if nothing significant is occurring.
Everyday I think of digging my grave
Revealing persistent thoughts about self-harm or suicide, metaphorically digging a grave.
And dying on their driveway
Extending the metaphor to envision a specific location for potential self-harm.
I'll take all my meds
Referring to the use of medication as a coping mechanism.
Swallow every can and
Expressing a willingness to consume medication as a form of escape.
Wait by their steps
Indicating a readiness to wait for a significant event or outcome.
I can't live through this again
Reiterating a reluctance to endure a past experience again.
But I can't stop going through the thoughts, inside my head
Reaffirming the ongoing struggle with persistent thoughts.
At night I lock myself inside
Restating the nighttime ritual of self-isolation or withdrawal.
And hope to god this feeling dies You act like nothing happens so then why
Expressing a continued hope for the resolution of a particular feeling, while questioning the apparent indifference of someone.
