Slowburn
RevelationTheory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We cover and carry on, like everything’s copasetic and
Courage we felt at all, feels like failure overcome
Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up
I'm trying to breathe, I wanna let go
So I can feel again
If I can let go (I wanna pull away) and feel again
Sober we pulled it off, I'm clean and I'm cursed it's one in all
We forget the chemicals, faking the sense of self and heart
Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up
I'm trying to breathe, I wanna let go
So I can feel again
I break up, I trying to see
If I can let go (I wanna pull away) and feel again
Wake up
(I'm not awake) I'm slowly burning away
(I'm not ok) falling flat on my face
Down on the pavement, I'm fighting the weight
(I'm not awake) I'm slowly burning away
Sometimes I feel like I can't wake up
I'm trying to breathe, I wanna let go
So I can feel again
I break up, I trying to see
If I can let go (I wanna pull away) and feel again
I'm not awake
Feel again
I'm not ok
The lyrics to Revelation Theory's song Slowburn encapsulate the feeling of being lost and struggling to overcome inner turmoil. The opening lines suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of one's current situation. The phrase "we cover and carry on" implies that the individual is putting on a façade of normalcy while struggling internally. The sense of courage that was once present in the person's life now seems like a hurdle that they have overcome, but at the same time it feels like a failure.
The chorus delves deeper into the person's emotional state, with the repetition of "sometimes I feel like I can't wake up" indicating a sense of detachment from reality. This detachment is further emphasized in the lines "I wanna let go so I can feel again" where the person desires to break free from their emotional numbness and feel something, anything.
The outro adds a layer of desperation to the song, with the repetition of "I'm not awake, I'm not okay" creating a sense of hopelessness. The line "falling flat on my face, down on the pavement" paints a vivid picture of hitting rock bottom, while "fighting the weight" suggests an internal struggle to keep going.
Overall, Slowburn conveys a powerful message about the struggles of mental health and the desire to break free from emotional numbness.
