Stockholm Syndrome
Her Name Echoes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

blind by the hate that you create
living you're every lie,
you're choking on the words you say
caught in your ways, these scare remain
i lie awake at night so haunted
that your heart had changed
one, two, three, there's only pieces of me
(pieces of me)
' cause you promised me this was right
when i was so blind to see
(blind to see)
i walk away from your direction
(and get up on my feet)
you feel no shame, still say
that I'm to blame
cause you cast your spell on mand noe that you've set me free
(now that you've set me free)
Why is it still hard to breathe?
why is it still hard to breathe?
Torn by the feelin' there was something more
and the time we shared, i don't regret
But i miss the way it was before
one, two, three, there's only pieces of me
(pieces of me)
cause you promised me this was right
when I was blind to see
(blind to see)
i walk away from your direction
(and get up on my feet)
you feel no shame, still say
that i'm to blame
cause you cast your spell on me
and now that you've set me free
(now that you've set me free)
why is it still hard to breathe?
you feel no shame
let's go!
I walk away from your direction
you feel no shame, still say
that i'm to blame
cause you cast your spell on me
and now that you've set me free
(now that you've set me free)
why is it still hard to breathe?
i walk away from your direction
(and get me up on my feet)
you feel no shame, still say
that i'm to blame
cause you cast your spell on me
and now that you've set me free




(now that you've set me free)
why is it still hard to breathe?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Stockholm Syndrome" by Her Name Echoes deal with the idea of being trapped in an unhealthy and toxic relationship where one person is blinded by love and unable to see the damage that it is causing them. The song is written from the perspective of the person who has been trapped, and they are struggling to break free from the hold that their partner has over them. The song talks about the lies and manipulation that the partner uses to control their partner while they are at the same time destroying them emotionally. The line "blind by the hate that you create" speaks to the idea that the partner may not even realize how much damage they are doing.


The chorus of the song represents the struggle of the person trying to break free. They know that the relationship is toxic, but they cannot let go of the love they have for their partner. The lyrics "cause you promised me this was right when I was so blind to see" shows how the partner has manipulated their partner to get them to stay in the relationship. However, the person is finally able to break free from their partner's hold and is finally able to walk away towards a better future. The song ends with the line "why is it still hard to breathe?" which is an indication that despite being free from the toxic relationship, the memories and pain still linger.

Blind by the hate, that you create/
Living your every lie, you’re choking on the words you say/
Caught in your ways, these scars remain/
I lie awake at night, so haunted that your heart had changed/

One, two, three, there’s only pieces of me/
You promised me this was right/
But I was too blind to see/

I’ll walk away from your direction/
(And get up on my feet)
You feel no shame/
Still say that that I'm to blame/
Cause you cast your spell on me/
And now that you’ve set me free/
Why is it still hard to breathe?

Torn by the feeling there was something more/
And the time we shared I don’t regret/
But I miss the way it was before/
