To The Wire
Gaz Coombes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut myself down
Before it's too late
I want to touch solid ground
I want to talk myself talk myself round
But all the words fail they don't make a sound
A hanging photograph edge of the trees to california
You were the star above us all a battle cry for when we fall
Stay in my heart out of sight you're hard to find
Wake from the start cross the line and cut the wire
I only numb myself when I feel I could drown
No I won't break I'm gonna turn this one around
I get this feeling like
Jump from a moving train or I'm falling from a great height
Am I losing this war with myself?
I'm on the frontline this could be hell
But I see through the cracks and these eyes
Are fixed on a hole in the dirt
But I'll stay in the sand until I know it's time to finally wake up
Stay in my heart out of sight you're hard to find
Wake from the start cross the line and cut the wire
A solid light a lone dancer too afraid to hear the answer
A new new sound down
To the wire
The song "To the Wire" by Gaz Coombes is a reflection of someone who is struggling with their own mental health and feels like they are on the verge of breaking down. The lyrics "I want to cut myself, cut myself down, before it's too late" suggest that the singer is considering self-harm or suicide as a way out of the pain. However, they also express a desire to seek help and find stability, saying "I want to touch solid ground, I want to talk myself, talk myself round."
The imagery in the song is vivid and evocative, with lines like "a hanging photograph edge of the trees to California" painting a picture of a nostalgic memory that is just out of reach. The mention of a "war with myself" emphasizes the internal struggle that the singer is facing, and the feeling of being trapped in their own mind. The chorus, with its repeated plea to "stay in my heart out of sight, you're hard to find," speaks to the difficulty of finding peace within oneself.
Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of hopelessness and desperation, but also a glimmer of resilience and determination to overcome the darkness. The phrase "cut the wire" could be interpreted as a metaphor for breaking free from the negative thoughts and emotions that are holding the singer back, or as a literal call to action to seek help before it's too late.

I want to cut myself
I want to bring myself down
Cut myself down
To reduce my self
Before it's too late
Before it's too late for any change
I want to touch solid ground
I want to be sure of my position
I want to talk myself talk myself round
I want to convince myself
But all the words fail they don't make a sound
But my words are not convincing enough for myself
A hanging photograph edge of the trees to california
An image hanging near the trees leading to California
You were the star above us all a battle cry for when we fall
You were a guiding light for us all, a cry for help when we need it
Stay in my heart out of sight you're hard to find
You are hard to find but reside in my heart
Wake from the start cross the line and cut the wire
Be alert, be fearless, and take action
I only numb myself when I feel I could drown
I only try to forget when there is no hope left
No I won't break I'm gonna turn this one around
I will not give up, I will try my best to make things right
I get this feeling like
I have this feeling that
Jump from a moving train or I'm falling from a great height
I feel like jumping out of a moving train or falling off from a great height
Am I losing this war with myself?
Am I losing hope for myself?
I'm on the frontline this could be hell
I am in the midst of the battle, which could be devastating
But I see through the cracks and these eyes
But I can still see through the cracks with my eyes
Are fixed on a hole in the dirt
I am focused on a path beneath the soil
But I'll stay in the sand until I know it's time to finally wake up
I will remain hidden until I find the need to come out
A solid light a lone dancer too afraid to hear the answer
A bright light, with a dancer reluctant to know the truth
A new new sound down to the wire
A new sound, moving towards the end
