Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I can kill you)
Close to me
You open the cage and he sets you free
Come to me
(we run away forever from this misery)
Lost my mind
Are you calling me
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
I'm always falling down
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
It's coming for you now
(So how can it be)
The color of the world had turned dark on me
(Falling free)
Losing my reflection and my clarity
(Talk to me)
I feel the sickness taking over me
(Let me be)
Imagining that you are here with me
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
I'm always falling down
Killing time that I left behind
Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around
It's coming for you now

The first stanza of the song speaks about a dream that the singer has had, where they are able to kill someone who is close to them. This could be interpreted as the personification of the singer’s inner demons which they wish to get rid of. The second line speaks about someone who is important to the singer being set free, which could mean that the singer is taking it upon themselves to break away from a toxic relationship or situation.

The line ‘Everything changes to a point that it stops and it turns around’ suggests that the singer has reached a breaking point and can no longer stay in their current situation. The repetition of the phrase ‘Killing time that l left behind’ further emphasizes the singer’s desire to move forward from their past.

This is probably one of the greatest songs I've ever heard, alongside other great gems in my playlist. The emotion in Perry's voice gets me trembling.

i came back to this song after nearly 8 years, not remembering the title or the artist, but just a few verses of the whole song, and since english is not my main languange, I struggled for hours to guess what those verses that I remembered actually meant and here I am back to this masterpiece, the nostalgia hit hard :')

What in the actual fuck? I'm a huge Mushroom fan, and several songs on Black Shawarma are my top 10, but I don't remember this song. It randomly came on my playlist (I've owned the album since it came out) and I was totally entranced. This song is amazing.
