Parasitic
Belmont Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I measured out
All the days that it took me to forget about
The anger found
and passed around

I did my part
Damaged from the start
Watched it fall apart
Left me feeling like I'm over it
I'm Stuck within
This(it) never ends

I don't want it back

Cuz I know that I've been dragging slack

But I know I'm gonna feel the slack f
I don't wanna think about it anymore
I don't wanna have to pick the pieces off the floor
I just wanna give it back
Nobody wants the flack
So I've been sinking slowly tell me what's so wrong with that
Because we're all the same
Just try to shed the blame
I think about it all the time I start to feel insane

I'll waste my breath
Pushing back what's next
Feels like the walls are closing in

I'll spend my time
Digging through my mind
Feeling so confined
It's like the walls are closing in

I don't wanna hear about it
I'm already losing touch inside without it
Talking to myself I'm abrasive in nature I'll admit it
Parasitic, I don't think I'm one to preach about it

I take back
Everything I ever told the world I always lacked

Just Cut Some Slack
I'm attached, to the past, comfort found in backlash

Space it out
I keep on feeling like I'm losing all my room to breath





Just pace about
Losing track, I never knew how much I really couldn't see

Line by Line Meaning

I measured out
I carefully calculated the time it took for me to forget


All the days that it took me to forget about
I counted every single day it took me to move on


The anger found
I found the source of my anger


and passed around
and I spread it to others


I did my part
I contributed to the problem


Damaged from the start
I was broken from the beginning


Watched it fall apart
I witnessed the destruction


Left me feeling like I'm over it
I thought I had moved on


I'm Stuck within
But I'm still trapped


This(it) never ends
There's no closure


I don't want it back
I don't want to revisit it


Cuz I know that I've been dragging slack
Because I know I haven't done my part


But I know I'm gonna feel the slack
But I know I'll take the blame


I don't wanna think about it anymore
I'm tired of dwelling on it


I don't wanna have to pick the pieces off the floor
I don't want to clean up the mess


I just wanna give it back
I wish I could return it


Nobody wants the flack
No one wants to deal with the negative consequences


So I've been sinking slowly tell me what's so wrong with that
I've been gradually losing hope, what's the harm in that?


Because we're all the same
We all make mistakes


Just try to shed the blame
But we should aim to take responsibility


I think about it all the time I start to feel insane
It consumes my thoughts and it's driving me crazy


I'll waste my breath
I'll use up all my energy


Pushing back what's next
Trying to delay what's to come


Feels like the walls are closing in
It's suffocating


I'll spend my time
I'll invest my time


Digging through my mind
Trying to find answers


Feeling so confined
But feeling trapped


It's like the walls are closing in
It's suffocating


I don't wanna hear about it
I don't want to talk about it


I'm already losing touch inside without it
It's already affecting me internally


Talking to myself I'm abrasive in nature I'll admit it
When I'm alone, I'm confrontational and critical


Parasitic, I don't think I'm one to preach about it
I'm not in a position to give advice, I'm part of the problem


I take back
I retract


Everything I ever told the world I always lacked
I was never sincere in what I expressed to others


Just Cut Some Slack
Give me a break


I'm attached, to the past, comfort found in backlash
I'm still connected to the past and I seek refuge in negativity


Space it out
Take a break


I keep on feeling like I'm losing all my room to breath
I feel like I'm suffocating


Just pace about
Just move around


Losing track, I never knew how much I really couldn't see
I'm confused and I underestimated how little I knew
