Lyric discussion by VinnieLacey 

Cover art for Quake lyrics by Balance And Composure

To me this sounds like someone who has been unfaithful and is conflicted about keeping it a secret or telling the truth. The act has made everything turn to shit but they don’t want the other to know. Keeping it inside saves them from exposure but at the cost of losing their soul. I think it’s an internal conversation that he is having with himself.
