Clipped wings and you're the one holding the bone saw

Metaphorically describes a situation where potential or freedom is restricted, and someone is causing harm.

Now things are getting so out of control

Indicates a sense of chaos and loss of command over the situation.

The spiraling starts and we can't pull up

Describes a downward spiral, possibly in a relationship or circumstance, with no apparent way to recover.

Our hands are tied together so

Suggests a connection or commitment between individuals despite the negative circumstances.

On the way down

Highlights the descent or decline being experienced.

We make every moment count

Encourages making the most of each moment despite the challenges.

While free falling

Uses the imagery of free falling to convey a lack of control or stability.

Shedding every speck of doubt

Believe in my voice and open your wings

Dead weight I pull you down faster and faster

Describes a burden or negative influence dragging someone down rapidly.

Our fates are inextricably linked

Suggests an intertwined destiny or connection that cannot be easily severed.

Just two paper hearts stapled side by side

Uses the metaphor of "paper hearts" to depict vulnerability and fragility.

We'll both rip apart If you leave me to die

Warns of the potential destructive consequences if one person is abandoned.


On the way down
