Gravity
Expire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been holding out
Never thought it would be this long
I fear the worst
I fear the worst is yet to come

Should I feel so fucking hollow?
Should I feel so alone?

I don't want to breathe this air
I don't want to take another breath
I need a way out
Give me a way out of this mess

Let me go and let me die
Release me from misery
Hang the rope, tie the knot
Let gravity set me free

Should I feel so fucking hollow?
Should I feel so alone?
I fear the worst is yet to come

I don't want to breathe this air
I don't want to take another breath
I need a way out
Give me a way out of this mess

Let me go and let me die
Release me from misery

Hang the rope and tie the knot
Let gravity set me free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Gravity" by Expire speak of a person who has held on for a long time and is now on the verge of giving up. The fear of the worst is what the person feels, as they contemplate death as the only way out of their misery. The person is feeling hollow, alone, and needs a way out of the mess they're in. The desire is so strong for the person to end their life that they want to hang themselves and let gravity set them free. Their desperation makes it evident that they don't wish to live another day and can't bear to breathe the same air anymore.

The song could describe someone who is going through a traumatic experience, depression or anxiety or someone who just feels overwhelmed with life's struggles. The person is seeking liberation in death because they see no other way out. The sense of hopelessness, loneliness, and despair is palpable in the song's lyrics, which makes it relatable to people going through difficult situations.
