Cutting Ties, Breathing Lies
Unveiling Despair: Echoes of Loss and Resilience in Cutting Ties, Breathing Lies
Lyrics
Forcing the words up my throat, and through my tongue
Expressing the difficulty of speaking, feeling compelled to speak despite resistance
Causing the projection of loss, and speeding of lungs
Describing the impact of the spoken words, causing a sense of loss and accelerated breathing
The walls of regret share the texture of shame
Connecting feelings of regret to the texture of shame, possibly indicating a deep emotional struggle
Forcing the words up my throat, and through my tongue
Repetition of line 1, emphasizing the internal struggle of expressing oneself
Causing the projection of loss, and speeding of lungs
Repetition of line 2, reinforcing the impact and urgency of the spoken words
Bring to life what died in me, Tear the flesh from the bones which don't bleed
Calling for a revival of something lost, metaphorically tearing away the non-essential parts
Bring to life what died in me, Tear the flesh from the bones which don't bleed
Repeating the call for revival, emphasizing the importance of shedding what is unnecessary
And in the hate of which you talk, this I assure you is how I walk
Acknowledging a hateful attitude in communication, asserting a certain walking style, but admitting a tendency to falter
But I've been known to fall
Admitting vulnerability or past failures in the declared walking style
Breathing the air close to my knees revealing those ash filled scares
Describing a physical position close to the ground, possibly symbolic of humility, and revealing scars filled with ash
Making them visible to see
Highlighting the visibility of scars, possibly expressing openness about past wounds
Forcing the words up my throat and through my tongue
Repetition of the struggle to speak, underscoring the internal conflict
Causing the projection of loss and speeding of lungs
Repetition of the impact of spoken words, emphasizing the emotional toll
As the feeling of breathing becomes chocking
Describing the suffocating feeling as breathing becomes difficult
This is the answer to the question of what you've been asking
Posing an answer to an unspecified question, suggesting resolution or clarity
Asking
Repetition of "Asking," possibly emphasizing the importance of questioning
I am the perfect enemy?
Pondering the speaker's identity as a perfect enemy, raising questions about self-awareness and conflict
Can't you see?
Challenging the listener to recognize the speaker's inner self or true nature
Come closer
Inviting closeness, possibly seeking understanding or connection
Don't you recognize me?
Expressing a desire for recognition, questioning whether the speaker is familiar to the listener
The taste of breathing has become the feeling of chocking
Linking the taste of breathing to the feeling of choking, intensifying the struggle with each breath
Oh Lord, bring to life the dying sight
Calling on a higher power to revive a dying sight, possibly a metaphor for vision or understanding
Show them what I cannot write
Expressing a plea to show what the speaker cannot put into words, suggesting a struggle with articulation
