Apnea
Currents Lyrics

You'll never sleep again
The perpetrator of a heinous act will never find peace or rest as they will always be tormented by their actions.

I heard a crash from the bedroom upstairs
The singer heard a sound that signified something terrible was happening above them.

You're screaming out my name
The victim is calling out to the singer for help and support during a traumatic event.

I open the door and know our lives will never be the same
The artist realizes that upon entering the room, a significant change will take place in their life and the victim's life.

She lays in tears, he's standing there
The victim is crying and the abuser is standing without remorse or empathy.

Climbed through the window and fled; another life left in ruin
The aggressor left the scene leaving another person's life ruined by their actions.

This can't be one more shot to the throat of innocence
The act committed by the abuser cannot be another blow to the victim's inherent goodness or morality.

A memory best left forgotten
The incident is so traumatic that it is better to forget it than to be reminded of it.

This is the poison of truth
The reality of the situation and its consequences are painful and difficult to accept.

You took something perfect and you just had to destroy it
The abuser took something precious, perhaps a relationship or a person, and intentionally ruined it.

Hang, bleed, I want you suffering!
The singer wishes pain and suffering upon the abuser for their actions.

Nails deep within your skin!
The artist wants to inflict physical harm on the abuser.

I live to see you rot for this!
The singer wants to witness the abuser suffer consequences for their actions.

You'll suffer at my hand
The singer is determined to make the abuser pay for what they have done.

Broken bones and slit wrists, pray for distance
The abuser will suffer severe physical injuries and will want to be far away from the singer.

You won't forget this name as long as you live
The abuser's actions have scarred the victim for life and they will always be remembered for their cruelty.

Make your peace with a god that will turn his back for just one night
The abuser will face divine punishment for their actions, and no deity will come to their aid.

Throw you to the slaughter with a whimpered goodbye
The abuser will be left to face a harsh punishment with no one to help or support them.

Do you keep a body count
The singer questions if the abuser is aware of the number of lives they have destroyed.

Of the lives you've destroyed?
The artist seeks confirmation that the abuser understands the extent of their wrongdoing.

You cover up the screams
The abuser tries to silence the cries of their victims.

But can't escape her voice
The abuser is tormented by their victim's cries and can't forget the harm they inflicted.

You're such a waste of life, burn from the inside
The abuser is deemed to have no value and is told to suffer internally.

When you meet death, he'll be your only friend
The abuser will die alone and without anyone to support or mourn them.

You'll never sleep again
The abuser will be tormented by their conscience and never find rest after their actions.

I'd throw you off that bed
The singer wishes to cause physical harm to the abuser.

Break your ribs with my fists
The singer wants to beat the abuser violently.

I'll fucking show you the mess
The artist aims to punish the abuser as they deserve.

You'll get the nightmare that you deserve
The abuser will be punished for their actions through a fitting nightmare.
