This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
this is me breathing without you.
see how i'm doing. see how i could have been.
then let the whispers drip softly.
times like this i saw nothing.
bellowing through them without thinking.
hear you coming this way this time.
if it wasn't so dark you would never shine.
and i question the way we felt.
grass grows gray with time. it tickles so.
and i question the way we feel
and i question what begets what.
and if i had to change one thing,
i'd have to make it everything.
when exactly did you stop believing everything was you.
i hate to see you together now,
but that's the way i wanted it to seem right to you.
forget everything you've loved to prove
to yourself that we were done.
throwing each other millions of miles for something not possible to anyone.
see how i'm doing. see how i could have been.
then let the whispers drip softly.
times like this i saw nothing.
bellowing through them without thinking.
hear you coming this way this time.
if it wasn't so dark you would never shine.
and i question the way we felt.
grass grows gray with time. it tickles so.
and i question the way we feel
and i question what begets what.
and if i had to change one thing,
i'd have to make it everything.
when exactly did you stop believing everything was you.
i hate to see you together now,
but that's the way i wanted it to seem right to you.
forget everything you've loved to prove
to yourself that we were done.
throwing each other millions of miles for something not possible to anyone.
