A Greater Danger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are more enticing than reality
And these daydreams
Suck away my energy
Strip away my elegance
Find a way to breathe again
Break me down until you see
The withered pieces underneath
To see the good in life
I try
Despite my clouded mind
I try
To find the worth in me
I try
But all I see is wasted time
What more could you ask of me?
Oh, let me paint the scene
Where every move I make breaks someone's heart
Oh, I'm stuck inside my ways
All these memories
Hold me down until I fall apart
Staring down another fork in the road
Do I stay complacent or choose to grow
I've run for so long to hide the pain
My time is up, I have to change
I try
To see the good in life
I try
Despite my clouded mind
I try
To find the worth in me
I try
But all I see is wasted time
What more could you ask of me?
Oh, let me paint the scene
Where every move I make breaks someone's heart
Oh, I'm stuck inside my ways
All these memories
Hold me down until I fall apart
Self disdain
Broken hearts
Truth forever kept in dark
The sun will rise
The sun will set
While we live inside our heads
There's so much that I've left unsaid
It rips me up, from within
Now I guess I'll let you know
Expose the weakness of my soul
I'm in love with what holds me down
Based on everything that I believe you'd think that nothing ever breaks me
But you'll see that
All the time consumed by vultures just like you
Has pushed me to the edge
In the first verse, the lyrics express a struggle between the allure of memories and the dissatisfaction with reality. The singer finds solace in daydreams, but they drain their energy and strip away their elegance. Underneath the surface, there are withered pieces that are revealed when broken down. Despite these difficulties, the singer tries to find the good in life and see their worth, but all they see is wasted time.
The chorus reveals a sense of guilt and self-reflection. The singer feels responsible for breaking someone's heart with every move they make, and they are stuck in their old ways. Their memories hold them down and prevent them from moving forward. They are at a crossroads, unsure whether to remain complacent or choose to grow. Running away from pain has been their coping mechanism, but they realize it's time for a change.
The second verse continues to explore the struggle of trying to find meaning and worth despite a clouded mind. The idea of wasted time is reiterated, emphasizing the regret and frustration. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the guilt and feeling trapped in a cycle of memories that weigh them down.
The bridge introduces a theme of self-disdain and broken hearts. The truth is hidden and kept in the dark, and everyone lives inside their own heads. There are thoughts and feelings left unsaid, tearing the singer apart from within. Now, they decide to expose the weakness of their soul and confess their love for what holds them down, suggesting a masochistic tendency. The lyrics also imply that despite the singer's resilience and the belief that nothing can break them, the constant consumption of time by people who take advantage of them has pushed them to the edge.
Overall, the lyrics depict a struggle between the escapism of memories and the dissatisfaction with reality. The singer tries to find meaning and worth but is weighed down by past experiences and a clouded mind. There is guilt and self-reflection, as well as a realization that change is necessary. The lyrics also touch on themes of self-disdain, broken hearts, and the internal battles we face in our minds.
Line by Line Meaning
Lately my memories
Currently, my recollections
Are more enticing than reality
Seem more captivating than actuality
And these daydreams
And these imagined scenarios
Suck away my energy
Drain my vitality
Strip away my elegance
Deprive me of my gracefulness
Find a way to breathe again
Discover a method to regain composure
Break me down until you see
Dismantle me until you witness
The withered pieces underneath
The deteriorated fragments beneath
I try
I make an effort
To see the good in life
To perceive the positivity in existence
Despite my clouded mind
Even with my confused thoughts
I try
I make an effort
To find the worth in me
To discover my own value
But all I see is wasted time
Yet all I perceive is time squandered
What more could you ask of me?
What additional expectations do you have for me?
Oh, let me paint the scene
Oh, allow me to depict the scenario
Where every move I make breaks someone's heart
Where each action I take shatters someone's emotions
Oh, I'm stuck inside my ways
Oh, I am trapped in my habits
All these memories
All these reminiscences
Hold me down until I fall apart
Restrain me until I disintegrate
Staring down another fork in the road
Confronting another dilemma
Do I stay complacent or choose to grow
Should I remain content or opt for personal development
I've run for so long to hide the pain
I have evaded the pain for a considerable time
My time is up, I have to change
My opportunity is ending, I must transform
Self disdain
Self-loathing
Broken hearts
Shattered emotions
Truth forever kept in dark
Truth perpetually concealed
The sun will rise
The sun will ascend
The sun will set
The sun will descend
While we live inside our heads
While we reside within our thoughts
There's so much that I've left unsaid
There is a multitude of unexpressed sentiments
It rips me up, from within
It tears me apart internally
Now I guess I'll let you know
Now I suppose I will inform you
Expose the weakness of my soul
Reveal the vulnerability of my essence
I'm in love with what holds me down
I am infatuated with what restrains me
Based on everything that I believe you'd think that nothing ever breaks me
Considering all that I uphold, you would assume I cannot be broken
But you'll see that
However, you will realize
All the time consumed by vultures just like you
All the time devoured by individuals similar to yourself
Has pushed me to the edge
Has driven me to the brink
