I Am The Avalanche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's like she's baring down and she's way too close to my back
Call an army marching towards me
Make it fast like a bullet
I want to feel it burn through me
I feel the ground start to shake
Meant so much to me and less to you
Everyone everywhere has their shit and I don't care
I'm merely suggesting to try to think about the mess that you're making
Pick up the garbage
Cause most of it's yours
Bring the bag outside
Come in before it pours
I feel the ground start to shake
And every breath that we take
Meant so much to me and less to you
It's like you know things that I'll never know
Well I know I know I know I know I know
I know
Sweetie it's hard for me to stay mad
sweetie it's hard for me to stay so mad
Your second chances are just piling up alright
I feel the ground start to shake
And every breath that we take
Meant so much to me and less to you
It's like you know things that I'll never know
Well I know I know I know I know I know
This Is Dungeon Music by I Am The Avalanche is a song about suspicion and frustration in a relationship. The lyrics depict the singer becoming increasingly suspicious of their partner, feeling like they are too close and baring down on them. The singer references an army marching towards them and wants to feel the burn of it, possibly indicating that they would rather feel the pain of an external force than continue in this relationship. The chorus emphasizes the different levels of importance that each person places on the relationship, with the singer feeling like every breath meant more to them than their partner.
The second verse talks about everyone having their own problems, but the singer is suggesting that their partner think about what they are doing to contribute to the mess of the relationship. They ask their partner to pick up their garbage and take responsibility for their actions. The bridge of the song has a change in tone, with the singer using terms of endearment and acknowledging that it's hard for them to stay angry. However, they reference their partner's "second chances" piling up, suggesting that forgiveness is not infinite.
Overall, This Is Dungeon Music portrays a relationship that is on the verge of collapse due to mistrust and miscommunication. The song uses metaphors of armies and shaking ground to depict the intensity of the situation, and the lyrics emphasize the difference in priorities between the two partners.

Call an army marching towards me
I want to face my problems head-on with strength and determination
Make it fast like a bullet
I want the solution to come quickly and rapidly
I want to feel it burn through me
I want to feel the impact of the solution deeply
I feel the ground start to shake
I sense a major shift or disruption in my life
And every breath that we take
Every action or moment we share is significant
Meant so much to me and less to you
Our experiences together are more valuable to me than to you
Everyone everywhere has their shit and I don't care

I'm suggesting that you take responsibility for your actions and consider the negative impact they may have
Pick up the garbage
Clean up your own mess
Cause most of it's yours
The majority of the problem was caused by you
Bring the bag outside
Dispose of the mess somewhere else
Come in before it pours
Come inside before bad things happen
It's like you know things that I'll never know
You seem to have knowledge or experiences that I don't have access to
Well I know I know I know I know I know
But I am aware of my own experiences and feelings
Sweetie it's hard for me to stay mad
It's difficult for me to remain angry at you
sweetie it's hard for me to stay so mad
My anger towards you is dissipating
Your second chances are just piling up alright
I've given you multiple opportunities to make things right, but you haven't taken them
