Before It Sinks In
Moira Dela Torre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear myself breathing
Hanging by a thread
My heart is barely beating
I haven't fallen yet
But I feel it comin'
Tell me would it be too much to ask
And I'm waking the next day
WIthout you beside me
And you hold on to the day
Tomorrow will just be a memory
That I would look back at all of this
And wonder why I stayed in here
Just to watch you disappear
So I breathe and let you go
How do I breathe and let you go?
Before it's too late
I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go
Rushing back to you
So I'll just shut my eyes
Forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home
And then just letting it all go
Let me take it in
Before it sinks in
I'll be on my knees
Is the future you promised
Know what I never even had
I have every reason to miss
And I down away
I can't find the strength to let you go
When the ony love I've come to know
Have this past and left me alone
You found another home
So before it's too late
I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go
Rushing back to you
That I'll just shut my eyes
Forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home
And then just letting it all go
Let me take it in
Before it sinks in
(Ohhhhh...)
(Go...)
(Ohhhhh...)
(Go...)
Before it's too late
I'll take a step away
I know one word would make me go
Rushing back to you
I'll just shut my eyes
Forget that you were mine
How do you go from making one your home
And then just letting it all go
Let me take it in
Before it sinks in
Moira Dela Torre's song Before It Sinks In is a heart-wrenching ballad that explores the pain of breakup and the inevitability of saying goodbye. Throughout the song, the singer is suspended in the air, hanging by a thread, and struggling to come to terms with the fact that her relationship is over. The lyrics are incredibly insightful and poignant, capturing the complex emotions of loss, despair, and longing that accompany the end of a relationship.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, with the singer describing herself as suspended in the air, barely breathing, and hanging by a thread. These lines suggest a sense of fragility and vulnerability, as if the singer is clinging to the hope that her relationship might somehow be salvaged. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this hope is fading, and that the singer is beginning to realize that it's time to let go.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the singer acknowledging the pain that letting go will bring, but also recognizing that it's necessary in order to move on. The lyrics "Before it's too late, I'll take a step away, I know one word would make me go, Rushing back to you" and "How do you go from making one your home, And then just letting it all go" encapsulate the struggle many people experience when deciding whether to stay in a relationship that's no longer working or to walk away and start over.

Suspended in the air
I am in a state of uncertainty and insecurity
I hear myself breathing
I am aware of my own existence and emotions
Hanging by a thread
I am barely holding on, close to breaking down
My heart is barely beating
I am emotionally drained and feel like giving up
I haven't fallen yet
I am still holding on and trying to keep things together
But I feel it comin'
I can sense that the end is near
Tell me would it be too much to ask
I need to know the truth, but I am afraid of the answer
If you break it to me gently
Please be kind when you tell me the truth
And I'm waking the next day
After everything, life goes on and I have to face a new day
WIthout you beside me
I miss you and the comfort you once provided
And you hold on to the day
I am desperately trying to hold on to the memories
Tomorrow will just be a memory
The future I imagined no longer exists, it is just a memory
That I would look back at all of this
One day, in the future, I will reflect upon this difficult time
And wonder why I stayed in here
I will question why I held on for so long when it was over
Just to watch you disappear
I stayed for closure and to watch you leave my life
So I breathe and let you go
I accept that it is over and try to move on
How do I breathe and let you go?
It is hard to let go, I need help and guidance
Before it's too late
I need to act now, before it is too late
I'll take a step away
I will distance myself from you
I know one word would make me go
I am tempted to return to you with just one word
Rushing back to you
I would come back to you quickly and without thinking
So I'll just shut my eyes
I will try to forget and move on
Forget that you were mine
I will forget that we were once together
How do you go from making one your home
It is difficult to let go of the home and comfort we once shared
And then just letting it all go
But I have to accept that it is over and let go
Let me take it in
Let me process and absorb all of this
Before it sinks in
Before the reality of it all hits me

Ang sakit sht...π Naaalala ko bawat segundo nung huling araw namin. Yung mata nyang mapula mula sa pinipigil na luha, habang sinasabing "hanggang dito na lang".
"how do you go from making one your home and then just letting it all go?"
It's been 3 months since the day you left me.
And I'm still ripped to pieces.
You're my greatest...π
