Inescapable
Final Surrender Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rips apart the miniscule remains of hope
Subtlety until it's bottlenecked & devastation follows behind.
With painful hopes (of) betrayal tightening around my throat
Is this suicide?
A murderous regret looms
This epitome of perfection is shattered
And human once again
Rollercoaster of hope, hopelessness, meaning, meaninglessness & purpose
Yet swinging by miniscule dividends gutted in shame
Almost shimmering into ashes
Almost simmering into these tears
While the sly ego, in parallel strives to be heard
Screaming on the hinges of the past.
