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.
If only you could watch me fall
I cannot feel it anymore
The soul you cut the soul you adore
Cannot feel you anymore
'Cause you've run through me with the destructive force
I think somehow I gotta get it straight
I gotta get you out of me
But I cannot get through to you
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
See me, I'm over the edge farther with every step
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
Standing over the edge, I'm taking my last breath
How I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And how I feel like I'm starless
I'm hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And now I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out
I can transcend you and mentally bend you
But I can't handle the shit that I'm into
I have been blinded and always reminded
Of the things I've wanted but I never could find
I am a part of a world that I hate
I wish the end would come faster, my world's a disaster
Can't you see that I'm down and I'm drowning
And I can't keep my head above my wake
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
See me, I'm over the edge farther with every step
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
Standing over the edge, I'm taking my last breath
How I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And how I feel like I'm starless
I'm hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And now I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out
I gotta get you out of my veins
I gotta get you out of my blood
I gotta get you out of my scene
I gotta get you out of me
What I'm really trying hard to get down to words
Is the way I fit into this world
Things I survived pushed me to the darker side
'Cause of life as it was
The life that was yours should've been mine
But I never could take anymore of this
'Cause I'm always gonna get
Gonna get down to the floor
It's a cold gun that I kiss
'Cause I cannot break anymore
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
That's how I feel when I'm starless
Hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out
Oh, now I'm starless
I cannot feel it anymore
The soul you cut the soul you adore
Cannot feel you anymore
'Cause you've run through me with the destructive force
I think somehow I gotta get it straight
I gotta get you out of me
But I cannot get through to you
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
See me, I'm over the edge farther with every step
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
Standing over the edge, I'm taking my last breath
How I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And how I feel like I'm starless
I'm hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And now I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out
I can transcend you and mentally bend you
But I can't handle the shit that I'm into
I have been blinded and always reminded
Of the things I've wanted but I never could find
I am a part of a world that I hate
I wish the end would come faster, my world's a disaster
Can't you see that I'm down and I'm drowning
And I can't keep my head above my wake
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
See me, I'm over the edge farther with every step
See me, I'm down and I get deeper with every breath
Standing over the edge, I'm taking my last breath
How I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And how I feel like I'm starless
I'm hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
And now I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out
I gotta get you out of my veins
I gotta get you out of my blood
I gotta get you out of my scene
I gotta get you out of me
What I'm really trying hard to get down to words
Is the way I fit into this world
Things I survived pushed me to the darker side
'Cause of life as it was
The life that was yours should've been mine
But I never could take anymore of this
'Cause I'm always gonna get
Gonna get down to the floor
It's a cold gun that I kiss
'Cause I cannot break anymore
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to fade now
That's how I feel when I'm starless
Hopeless and grayed out
Somehow I feel like I'm starless
I'm ready to burn out
Oh, now I'm starless
