I Am A Revenant Lyrics

Another year has passed and im alright
I lick the salt from my wounds and run into the night
Its unknown why collusion goes on
It rapes like betrayal
And Im rotting in the squalor of some

Do you remember the rage?
I remember the hate
I remember it rained for years
And the blood had left a stain

You say i got karma to collect
I dig my grave and
Im here waiting for some kind of check
If i get one ill hold my breath
I racked my spine
It takes a year of you to warrant a test
As the years go by I wont cry
Its the year you walked into my life
I will despise

We are the revenants
And we will rise up from the dead
We become the living
Weve come back to reclaim our stolen breath

I think it's more about having gone through something terrible, where someone somewhere did something to cause her a lot of pain, either emotionally or physically or both. the references to wounds and blood leaving a stain suggests abuse possibly? unless it's metaphor for severe emotional abuse. from someone who makes her "despise" the "year you walked into my life", and who caused a lot of "rage" and "hate" on her behalf. But "Another year's gone by" and she "licks her wounds" and "as the years go by I won't cry" meaning she's toughened up with time, healed her wounds, and now will "rise up from the dead" and "reclaim" the "breath" that was "stolen" from her. And as breath is something we have a right to, as she says in seneca falls "i don't steal the air i breathe", she is standing up from the ashes and rightfully claiming what was taken from her, whether it be dignity or self-esteem or whatever else that had crippled her before.

correct me if i'm wrong, but didn't brody have an abusive stepfather? i know she had a lot of problems with her family, and i think this could be about him.

@hjfgdshkgsd in another song (young crazed peeling) she says her mom kicked out her dad for battery
