I FOR ONE
Octane Lyrics

Dear mother, can you hear me?
The singer is struggling with themselves and is questioning if their mother can sense that something is wrong.

It seems I've not been myself lately
The singer has noticed that they are behaving out of character.

Disturbing recollections
The singer is experiencing distressing memories.

Dark reflections crowd me so...
Negative thoughts and emotions are overwhelming the artist.

Sometimes I hurt, so jaded
The artist is emotionally wounded and has become tired of life.

So serrated I've become this
The singer's emotional pain has left them feeling sharp and broken.

Mere shadow of a man
The singer feels insignificant and like they have lost their true self.

I hardly even know
The artist has become so detached that they barely recognize who they are anymore.

And I've felt your lifelessness
The artist is aware that their loved ones are emotionally distant and have become numb to their feelings.

And I've felt your emptiness
The artist recognizes that their loved ones are not emotionally present for them and feel hollow inside.

And I've felt your weakness
The singer understands that their loved ones are struggling and are not strong enough to support them.

Tearing our ties as they crumble between us
The emotionally distant relationships between the artist and their loved ones are breaking apart.

And I for one
The singer is taking a stand for themselves.

Won't sit here and stand for this no
The singer will not tolerate their current situation any longer.

Have been left alone with nowhere to go
The singer feels isolated and without support or guidance.

Dear father, can you see me?
The artist is reaching out to their father and asking for his attention.

Begging for the love I've needed
The artist is asking for the affection and attention they have been lacking.

Cold hearted, you retreated
The singer's father has turned away from them in an unfeeling manner.

I've reached that point again I'm bleeding
The singer is once again experiencing emotional pain and is feeling wounded.

And yet again I'm pleading
The artist is begging for their father's love and understanding.

Fallen to my knees I'm screaming
The artist has collapsed emotionally and is calling out for help.

For hope, a deeper meaning
The artist is searching for something meaningful to hold onto and provide purpose in their life.

From this fucking endless grieving
The singer is dealing with never-ending pain and suffering.

Tell me that everything is alright
The artist is seeking reassurance and validation from their loved ones.

Kiss my head and tell me sleep tight
The singer is asking for affection and comfort from their loved ones.
