System
In Flames Lyrics

I cannot frame, that's why I lose control
I struggle to express myself, which leads to a loss of emotional control

I aim, I stumble and I fall
I strive for success, but often fail and make mistakes

Our adaptation can't be faithful
We cannot conform entirely to each other's expectations and desires

Your world does not attract me
I am not drawn to your way of life, beliefs, or values

This is the end you see
I have reached a point of no return, a final conclusion or outcome

There is no more truth in me
I have lost my authenticity, sincerity, and honesty

As if you would deserve it
You are not worthy or deserving of my respect or admiration

You are my enemy
You are against me, in opposition or competition

I can't ignore the way you make me bleed
Your actions or words hurt me deeply and cause emotional pain

I hate when you throw my thoughts against the wall
I resent when you reject, dismiss, or invalidate my ideas and opinions

Got to wake up and make a stand
I need to become aware, motivated, and committed to taking action

The desperation forces another mistake
My anxious and urgent state leads me to repeat past errors or create new ones

I count again
I review my situation or progress, often with disappointment or regret

I know who to blame
I hold myself accountable or responsible for my failures or shortcomings

My life in vain
I perceive my existence as meaningless, futile, or disappointing

Who said I was sane?
I question my own sanity or rationality, possibly due to mental illness or stress

Follow your instinct
Listen to your inner voice or intuition, as it often leads you to the right path

It usually takes you home
You will find comfort, safety, and happiness in your natural habitat or origin

Don't let these words tear you down
Do not allow negative comments, criticism, or insults to affect your self-esteem or confidence

You see me hanging
You witness me in a vulnerable or precarious position, possibly on the verge of suicide

By the end of the rope
At the limit of my abilities, resources, or patience, with no hope or solution in sight

Slow I go
I move at my own pace, without hurry or urgency, possibly due to lethargy or weariness

And the wait seems to be over
The anticipation, suspense, or delay is finally coming to an end, with an outcome or resolution imminent

All that I know
My understanding or knowledge of the situation, which may be limited or uncertain

Is that my life has become such a waste for you
You consider my existence as futile, worthless, or disappointing, possibly due to failed expectations or unfulfilled dreams

I blame and run, sadly all too often
I tend to avoid taking responsibility or facing the consequences of my actions or decisions, which is a recurring problem

I dive into the day without your sympathy
I start my day without seeking or receiving emotional support, understanding, or compassion from you

I tend to try but lack the focus
I attempt to achieve my goals or objectives, but struggle to stay concentrated or motivated, possibly due to distraction or boredom

Becoming a distant memory
Fading away from your thoughts or feelings, losing importance or significance, becoming less relevant or connected

What once was is quickly forgotten
Past experiences or relationships are easily erased or dismissed, with little or no sentimental value or impact

All wrapped up inside
My emotions or thoughts are bottled up, concealed, or suppressed, hidden from others and myself

Delete all resemblance
Erase or eliminate any similarities or connections between me and you or my previous life, possibly to create a new identity or start anew

I feel your relief
I sense your joy, satisfaction, or gratitude for my absence, departure, or failure, which hurts me and reinforces my feeling of worthlessness or abandonment
