Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I suffocate.
Reality is tearing my life away.
All in vain.
I'm taking my pride into the grave.
What a fine line we walk with our eyes closed.
Giving our worst as first like we don't know.
Burning my way through life with a vengeance
Giving my weight in hate until the neck bends
Tearing out every trace of emotion
Falling into this cell that you've opened
Hollow as all these faces around me
Feeling your fatal infection surround me.
[Chorus]
We all live in fear of something.
We all disappear like nothing.
We all live in fear of something.
We all equal less than nothing.
I suffocate.
I'm taking my life from first to last.
All this hate is dragging my face through broken glass.
How can we be so blind in the same light?
Covering all these scars that we can't hide.
Feeling my way through thorns of rejection.
Bleeding out all this filth of infection.
[Chorus]
Nothing.
Nothing.
We're nothing.
Nothing.
Reality is tearing my life away.
All in vain.
I'm taking my pride into the grave.
What a fine line we walk with our eyes closed.
Giving our worst as first like we don't know.
Burning my way through life with a vengeance
Giving my weight in hate until the neck bends
Tearing out every trace of emotion
Falling into this cell that you've opened
Hollow as all these faces around me
Feeling your fatal infection surround me.
[Chorus]
We all live in fear of something.
We all disappear like nothing.
We all live in fear of something.
We all equal less than nothing.
I suffocate.
I'm taking my life from first to last.
All this hate is dragging my face through broken glass.
How can we be so blind in the same light?
Covering all these scars that we can't hide.
Feeling my way through thorns of rejection.
Bleeding out all this filth of infection.
[Chorus]
Nothing.
Nothing.
We're nothing.
Nothing.
