Problems
Milmine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You breathe like a dragon and run away from all your problems
Yeah, I don′t have 'em ′cause you know I could probably stall
Scares like a lion and tears me apart limb by limb
Take me back to a time before I was inside

Before I got old I created
Can't find my way back up
Having troubles with my lady

This time is not looking good
See if there was a lane I caused chasing
And that's what I′m going to miss most
And I just can′t handle this no more
I'm tired of all this shit

You breathe like a dragon and run away from all your problems
Yeah, I don′t have 'em ′cause you know I could probably stall
Scares like a lion and tears me apart limb by limb
Take me back to a time before I was inside
You breathe like a dragon and run away from all your problems
Yeah, I don't have ′em 'cause you know I could probably stall

Scares like a lion and tears me apart limb by limb
Take me back to a time before I was inside

Overall Meaning

In Milmine's song "Problems," the lyrics depict a person who has a tendency to avoid their problems by pretending they don't exist. The opening line, "You breathe like a dragon and run away from all your problems," paints a vivid imagery of someone exhaling forcefully, trying to escape the difficulties they face. The singer contrasts themselves with this individual by claiming they don't have problems because they have the capability to delay or avoid dealing with them.

The lyrics further explore the emotional impact this person has on the singer, comparing their presence to that of a terrifying lion who tears them apart, limb by limb. This individual's actions or behavior seem to cause significant distress and pain for the singer. The line, "Take me back to a time before I was inside," suggests a longing to return to a state of innocence or ignorance, free from the emotional turmoil brought about by this person's actions.

The second verse delves into the singer's personal struggles outside of their relationship with this problematic person. They express a sense of feeling lost and unable to navigate their way back to a better place. The mention of troubles with their lady implies that the singer faces challenges in their romantic relationship, adding to their overall frustration and unhappiness. The lyrics convey a sense of weariness and exhaustion, indicating that the singer has reached a breaking point and can no longer endure the negative circumstances they find themselves in.
