Shoe
Bilmuri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will it wipe away my features. Will it clear away my soul
(I need you wherever they go)
Just breath. Just breath again
Cause I'm addicted to feeling relief. Trying to deal with this anxiety
Just breath
I'm not as dumb as I was before. I stitch up my hand, I can feel my heart again
Just breath. Just breath again
Cause I'm addicted to feeling relief. Trying to deal with this anxiety
Just breath
(I'm feeling ghosts that don't exist. I'm chasing ghosts that don't exist)
Just breath. Just breath again
Cause I'm addicted to feeling relief. Trying to deal with this anxiety
Just breath
The lyrics to Bilmuri's song "Shoe" evoke a sense of anxiety and desperation as the singer struggles to come to terms with their own emotions. The first stanza is particularly poignant as it seems to convey a sense of powerlessness, as if the singer is resigned to losing something that they don't fully understand. The line "Will it leave" suggests that whatever it is that they are clinging onto is precarious, and may slip through their grasp at any moment.
The second stanza reinforces this theme of uncertainty, as the singer questions whether their very identity will be erased by the forces at play. This fear of losing oneself is a common theme in people suffering from anxiety, and the repetition of the line "Just breath" serves as a reminder to ground oneself in the moment and focus on the act of breathing.
The following lines suggest that the singer has been through some kind of trauma, referring to "scars" and a "jagged edge". However, the sense of triumph that seems to emerge from the final lines - "I stitch up my hand, I can feel my heart again / I steal along, it's not worth dying for" - is tempered by the acknowledgement that the singer still needs support, as seen in the repeated line "I need you wherever they go".
Overall, "Shoe" is a powerful yet relatable meditation on the struggle to retain control in the face of mental illness.
