Exhale
Methwitch Lyrics

The lyrics of Methwitch's song "Exhale" convey a deep sense of despair and the desire for release from pain and suffering. The opening lines, "Let me die today, all the colors in my world have molted into grey," express a profound hopelessness and a longing for an end to existence. The singer is overwhelmed by their emotional turmoil and sees no way out of their bleak reality.

The following lines, "Cut my soul out from the flesh and let me fade away," further illustrate the intensity of the singer's desperation. They are willing to remove themselves from their own essence, as if their soul has become tainted and needs to be separated from their physical body, just to escape the torment they are experiencing.

The chorus, "Breathe in for me, replay memories. Embrace my ending, exhale the pain," suggests a plea for someone to take over their life, to remember their past and allow them to release their suffering in death. The singer yearns for a cathartic release, where all sorrows fade, and they can finally take their last breath.

The verses continue to emphasize the desire for liberation and salvation from the singer's inner demons. The imagery of bloodshed as a means of cleansing their soul, "Every drop of blood I've shed will cleanse my soul like rain, let it wash away all the filth that's stained my soul," conveys a metaphorical purification process. The singer hopes that by shedding their own blood, they will be able to cleanse themselves of the darkness that has tainted their spirit.

The final lines of the song, "I will let you stay, just take the pain away. I surrender myself, just save me from this fucking hell," reveal a desperate plea for someone to intervene and alleviate the singer's suffering. They are willing to surrender, to put their trust in someone else if it means being freed from the overwhelming torment they are experiencing.
