Whenever
Oghamyst Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whenever I leave
When I leave you for me
You take a piece of me

I can't help myself!
I can't escape this!

Whenever I leave
When I leave you for me
I realize what you have taken!
The walls are shaking!
What if I just run out into the street?
I'm sitting in my chair
Watching feel-good things
They only make me feel worse!
Oh when I leave
I could never forget

I could still feel you completely
Around me and in me
Whenever I leave
When I leave you for me!
I realize what you have taken!
The walls are shaking!
What if I just run out into the street?
I'm sitting in my chair
Instead, watching feel-good things
They only make it worse!

When I leave you for me!
I realize what you have taken!
The walls are shaking!
What if I just run out into the street?
I'm sitting in my chair
Watching feel-good things
They only make it worse!
Whenever I leave
And when I left

I'm in your pool
And I'm being pulled down!
I tried to put you off
Made you unclench your wrists
I knew it was a short
While I'd get to myself
I knew you'd come back
Drag me through it all again!
I want to concede!
(I knew you'd come back
Drag me through it all again!)

Whenever I leave
When I leave you for me
You take a piece of me




I can't help myself!
I can't escape this!

Overall Meaning

These lyrics convey a complex and emotional experience of leaving a relationship and the lingering impact it has on the singer. The theme revolves around the struggle of trying to separate oneself from a toxic or damaging relationship, only to realize that they still carry a part of that person with them.


In the first paragraph, the singer acknowledges that whenever they leave, they are taking a part of themselves away, implying that they may have lost some of their identity or sense of self in the relationship. This suggests that the relationship has had a profound impact on them, and leaving is not an easy task.


The second paragraph delves into the singer's internal battles. They express their inability to help themselves and escape the situation they are in. This could suggest that they are caught in a cycle of returning to the same unhealthy relationship, even though they know it is not good for them.


In the third paragraph, the singer reflects on the aftermath of leaving. They realize the extent of what has been taken from them and describe the sensation of the walls shaking, which could symbolize the crumbling of their emotional stability. The mention of running into the street and seeking distractions from their pain implies a sense of desperation and searching for solace.


The fourth paragraph delves into a more physical representation of the relationship. The singer describes being pulled down in a metaphorical pool, representing the suffocating and drowning effect the relationship has on them. They mention trying to resist and break free from their partner's grip, but knowing deep down that they will ultimately return and be dragged through the pain again.


The repetition of the chorus throughout the song reinforces the idea that leaving the relationship does not result in complete liberation. The singer still carries the emotional scars and experiences the lingering effects of the relationship, making it difficult to fully escape or move on.

Made you unclench your wrists
Encouraged you to release your grip


I knew it was a short

While I'd get to myself
During the time I could focus on myself


I knew you'd come back
I was aware you would return


Drag me through it all again!
Force me to go through the same experiences and emotions once more


I want to concede!
I desire to give in or surrender
