Planeshifter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one can get a break
From all these feelings
That i can't escape
You come home
You break shit
I can't help but become
Aware of your derangement
I can't help anymore
These problems will always endure
The world isnt enough to break
The habits you've grown for
I can't help anymore
You stumble right to the floor
I wish I could change everything
You are known for
Like I'm in a burning building
Cracks appear and smolder
Even trying to leave makes
The fire burn bolder
People can't look at you
And see what you've been through
I'm just hoping
That not all they see is broken
If I can get free of you
I can try to help you
Make this change
Break these chains
Be rid of this disgrace
Be rid of this
Disgrace
These lyrics depict the struggles and frustrations of being in a toxic and addictive relationship. The first paragraph highlights the singer's exhaustion from constantly dealing with their partner's destructive behavior and the emotions they cannot escape from. The partner's actions, such as coming home and breaking things, draw attention to their unstable mental state, causing the singer to become increasingly aware of their partner's derangement.
In the second paragraph, the singer expresses their helplessness in trying to solve the problems that seem to persist. The phrase "The world isn't enough to break the habits you've grown for" suggests that even external factors or support cannot break their partner's addictive behaviors. The singer acknowledges their inability to assist further when their partner repeatedly stumbles and falls. They express a desire to change everything their partner is known for, hoping for a transformation that will free them from this toxic cycle.
The third paragraph employs a metaphor of a burning building to symbolize the relationship. The cracks appearing and smoldering symbolize the mounting issues within the relationship that cannot be ignored. The singer recognizes that attempting to leave the relationship only fuels the fire further, intensifying the problems. They further highlight the inability of others to perceive the pain and suffering they have endured, hoping that people can see beyond the brokenness that their partner displays.
The final paragraph reveals the singer's realization that breaking free from the addictive partner is the key to making a positive change. They express their willingness to help their partner in this transformative process, hoping to break the chains of addiction and rid themself of the disgrace that the relationship has brought upon them. The repetition of the phrase "Be rid of this disgrace" emphasizes the singer's desire for liberation and a fresh start away from the destructive relationship.
