Choose Life
MONASHEE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I wake up it gets harder to breathe
Seems like it′s every day the same
No cure, no remedy for me
My heart, it feels like violence
No power to break the silence
As much my head denies the search for love
It breeds in my veins
Have I realized, that this is not okay?
That I am not okay
And this painful kind of shame
All those nights I laid awake, crying for no reason
Have I realized that it breeds in my veins
It feels like my final goodbye (goodbye)
Please help me to complete me
When my hope is gone
You could be my savior
All those black clouds up in the sky beneath my skin
Every time I wake up it gets so much harder to breathe
All those black clouds up in the sky beneath my skin
Every time I wake up it gets so much harder to breathe
What if I choose death?
My problems may be solved
But I leave so much sadness
I have to choose life
I have to shine, to be bright
Let this black veil far behind
I know it will be killing me
But I have to try defeating it
I have to shine, to be bright
Let this black veil far behind
It may be killing me
Seems like it's every day the same
No cure, no remedy for me
My heart, it feels like violence
No power to break the silence
As much my head denies the search for love
At least, at least I tried
It breeds in my veins
Have I realized, that this is not okay?
That I am not okay
And this painful kind of shame
All those nights I laid awake, crying for no reason
Have I realized that it breeds in my veins
(I can′t find my way back to life)
It feels like my final goodbye
Please help me to complete me
When my hope is gone
You could be my savior
All those black clouds up in the sky beneath my skin
Every time I wake up it gets so much
All those black clouds up in the sky beneath my skin
Every time I wake up it gets so much harder to breathe
What if I choose death?
My problems may be solved
But I leave so much sadness
I have to choose life
The lyrics of MONASHEE's song Choose Life speak of a struggle with depression and the fight to overcome it. The black clouds in the sky beneath the singer's skin represent the darkness and sadness that is consuming them. The feeling of suffocation, the violence in their heart, and the inability to find a cure add to the weight of their emotions. The lyrics suggest that the singer has contemplated death as a way out of their pain but ultimately decides to choose life because of the sadness it would leave behind.
The chorus repeats the line "all those black clouds up in the sky beneath my skin, every time I wake up it gets so much harder to breathe," emphasizing the suffocating and overwhelming feeling of depression. However, the bridge offers a glimmer of hope, "I have to shine, to be bright, let this black veil far behind, it may be killing me", revealing the determination to conquer the darkness and find the light.
Overall, the song Choose Life speaks of the importance of choosing to live despite the struggles and the courage it takes to face the battle against depression.
