Petrichor
Cassyette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Petrichor on the floor of your mind
I′m sorry for this pain I caused
The rain I left behind
Petrichor, we're left paralysed
A battlefield of vortex we shattered from the fight
Can't fix this hole in my head
Didn't think we could restart
Maybe we′re better off dead
Dead in the water
′Cause we ain't like we were bеfore, yeah
Lock up your sons and daughters
Thеre′s no one left to trust no more
I'm caught in your spiral
Can′t find the cure
Ready for revival
I wanna be reborn
Suffocating, living in regret
Medicate me 'til there′s nothing left ('til there's nothing left)
A perfect storm for suicide
A look into the other side
Tear me apart and I′ll paint the walls red (I′ll paint the walls red)
I've got an ache in my heart
Can′t fix this hole in my heart
Didn't think we could restart
Maybe we′re better off dead
Dead in the water
'Cause we ain′t like we were before, yeah
Lock up your sons and daughters
There's no one left to trust no more
I'm caught in your spiral
Can′t find the cure
Ready for revival
I wanna be reborn
I wanna be reborn
Wake up from your slumber at the gates of Hell
Break the lock and burn down your cell
The earth is quiet but the Mother′s well
Internalise your healing
Eye of the storm will let it pass
Pick up the pieces, broken glass
Rain will fall but grow the grass
I wanna be reborn
Dead in the water
'Cause we ain′t like we were before, yeah
Lock up your sons and daughters
There's no one left to trust no more
I′m caught in your spiral in Petrichor
Ready for revival
I wanna be reborn
I wanna be reborn
The song "Petrichor" by Cassyette is a powerful and emotional expression of personal struggle, regret, and a desire for renewal. The lyrics suggest a sense of longing to start again, to be reborn, as the singer reflects on the pain they have caused and the rain they have left behind. The use of the word "petrichor," which refers to the smell of rain after a long period of dryness, is metaphorical for the idea that out of darkness and pain can come new growth and renewal. The singer is suffocating in regret and seeking a way out of their suffering, even contemplating suicide. However, the song ends with a message of hope, encouraging the listener to internalize their healing and let the storm pass, with the promise that rain will fall and growth will follow.
Overall, "Petrichor" is a deeply introspective and cathartic song that explores the themes of personal struggle, pain, and a desire for renewal. It is a powerful message of hope in the face of darkness and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, growth and renewal are possible.
