5 Minute Raw Vegan
Marietta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust me, don′t think. Corrode me inside a brain wave.
Don't bleed, trust me. You′ll only be losing iron and dumb faith.

It's news to me that I haven't been thinking clearly
Get help, alleviate yourself inside a numbing hell.

While houses far away are ticking, admitting window pain

I′ve run into several problems regarding your thoughtful progress
"You′re not what I need, you've never have been. I barely noticed your pale presence."
That put me too deep, crying to your knees, realizing I′m incomplete
I sucked in too much, reach into my gut, pulled everything out including the touch

Well maybe (it's shocking)
That you stayed (and I left)
I′m not a promise (or a keeper)
So I'll haunt you until you remain

My head split in two directions
But I′m doing alright

I can't remember when things were this quiet. How do I say goodbye when I know you're dying?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics express a sense of internal conflict, as the singer's choices have led to an incomplete state of being. The first verse starts with an invitation to trust the singer, urging the listener to refrain from thinking and to corrode them inside a brain wave. The following line comments on the cost of bleeding emotionally, advising the listener not to give away their Iron and dumb faith. The singer's solution to this emotional turmoil is to numb themselves and mitigate the pain.


The second verse highlights the singer's lack of emotional clarity, which is causing a numbing hell, but it's a news-flash for the singer that they haven't been thinking about their emotional state clearly. The next few lines portray how the singer has been hurt by someone else's thoughtless comments about their personalities, which leads to tears and realization of incompleteness. The singer then inflicts self-harm, which results in taking everything out, including the person's touch. The song's final verse seems to be an introspective analysis of the singer's life, in two different directions but doing alright despite everything. The song ends with a confession of not being able to remember when things were quiet and how to say goodbye to someone dying.
