Complications
Camisado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sad to see this end
So violently
Oh, were sinking again and again
And its such a long fall down
From the top would you still care
If I dropped to my death from here
But baby, maybe not as much
With the key to my heart
You locked it in chains
And watched me drown
As I sink to the bottom
Of this sea
You used to take
My breath away
Now I can barely breathe
When can I safely breathe
Breathe with me
We'll breathe so heavily
Hold on
Until there is nothing left
I want you to watch me
As I take my last breath
The lyrics of Camisado's song "Complications" delve into themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and the struggle to let go of a toxic relationship. The opening lines express a sense of sadness and disappointment in witnessing the end of something in a violent and destructive manner. The repetition of sinking metaphorically represents the feeling of continuously being pulled down into despair and hopelessness. The singer questions whether their significant other would still care if they were to fall to their death, acknowledging the possibility that their love may not be as strong as it once was.
The next verse portrays a sense of being trapped and suffocated within the relationship. The image of the key to the singer's heart being locked in chains emphasizes the power dynamics and control exerted by their partner. As they continue to drown metaphorically, the singer reflects on how their partner used to make them feel alive but now leaves them feeling breathless and unable to fully breathe. The question of when they will be able to safely breathe again highlights the longing for a sense of freedom and relief from the suffocating hold of the relationship.
The final lines bring a dark twist, as the singer asks their partner to hold on until there is nothing left, indicating a desire for them to witness their final moments. This suggests a complex mix of emotions, including a plea for their partner's attention to their suffering and a possible desire for revenge or a desire to make them understand the pain they have caused.
Overall, "Complications" explores the tumultuous emotions and struggles experienced in a toxic relationship, capturing the feelings of being trapped, suffocated, and clinging onto hope even in the face of despair.
