smother
Daughter/Musicfire.in Lyrics

I am wasted, losing time
I am intoxicated, wasting away precious moments of my life.

On a foolish, fragile spine
My backbone is foolish and weak, unable to withstand difficult situations.

I want all that is not mine
I desire everything that I do not possess.

I want him but we're not right
I desire him, but our relationship is not appropriate or functional.

In the darkness, I will meet my creators
During times of despair, I will confront my own shortcomings and flaws.

And they will all agree, that I'm a suffocator
In my darkest times, I will be forced to acknowledge that I have smothered and oppressed those around me.

I should go now quietly
It is time for me to depart in silence.

For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep
My physical form has found a final resting place.

Where all my layers can become reeds
Where my many layers and complexities can transform into something simpler and more natural.

All my limbs can become trees
Even my extremities can transform into something strong and stable, like a tree's roots.

All my children can become me
Everything that I have produced or influenced will be a reflection of myself.

What a mess I leave
The chaos and disorder I am responsible for will be a testament to my life.

To follow
To pursue or chase after something.

Oh love
An expression of affection or emotion for someone or something.

I'm sorry if I smothered you
I apologize if I oppressed or suffocated you with my actions or emotions.

I sometimes wish I'd stayed inside
There are times when I wish I never entered the world or became who I am.

My mother
A reference to the artist's own mother, who could represent both nurture and oppression depending on the interpretation.

Never to come out
The singer wishes that they had never been born or brought into the world.

And they will all agree that I'm a suffocator, suffocator, suffocator
The singer is obsessed with the idea that she has suffocated others and will be seen that way by those around her.
