Cutting Ties
Screaming for Silence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you ever wake up in the morning And you wonder where I am
Another sleepless night
Are these traps for signs again
Can't get away from all the suffering things you said
Feel all those words as they're ringing in my head
I'm so sorry
I'll just walk away
There's nowhere left to die
There's nothing left to find
I'm cutting all the ties
Why
I'm wishing you would die
So I can feel alive
I'm cutting all the ties
I can't believe in what we are or who I am
You wonder how we got to live so when it all began
And then I look into your eyes I don't know what to say
All those things you've done to me
It's time for you to pay
I'm not sorry
If I knew who I am
There's nowhere left to go
There's nothing left to find
I'm cutting all the ties
No
I'm wishing you would die
So I can feel alive
I'm cutting all the ties
There's nowhere left to go
There's nothing left to find
I'm cutting all the ties
There's nowhere left to go
There's nothing left to find
I'm cutting all the ties
No
I'm wishing you would die
So I can feel alive
I'm cutting all the ties
There's nowhere left to go




There's nothing to find
I'm cutting all the ties

Overall Meaning

The song "Cutting Ties" by Screaming for Silence speaks about the struggles of ending a toxic and abusive relationship. The lyrics explore the feelings of frustration, pain, and desire for freedom that come with realizing the detrimental effects of staying in such a relationship. The singer in the song wakes up in the morning and wonders where their partner is, only to realize that they are trapped in yet another sleepless night of torment. They cannot escape the painful memories and hurtful words that their partner has said, and they want to sever all ties with them.


The chorus of the song, where the singer repeats "I'm cutting all the ties," is a powerful declaration of the decision to end the relationship and move on. The singer realizes that they cannot believe in what they are or who they are when they are with their partner. They look into their partner's eyes and cannot find the words to express the pain that they have caused. It is time for their partner to pay the price for the wrongs they have done, and there is no more room for apologies.


The song is a poignant reminder of the importance of recognizing and leaving toxic relationships behind, even if it means cutting ties with those we once loved.


Line by Line Meaning

When you ever wake up in the morning And you wonder where I am
You wake up and wonder where I am


Another sleepless night
I can't sleep at night


Are these traps for signs again
I wonder if I'll see any signs of our past relationship again


Can't get away from all the suffering things you said
I can't stop thinking about the hurtful things you said


Feel all those words as they're ringing in my head
The words you said keep echoing in my mind


I'm so sorry
I'm trying to apologize


I'll just walk away
I'm leaving


There's nowhere left to die
I feel like I have nothing left to live for


There's nothing left to find
There's nothing left for me to discover in our relationship


I'm cutting all the ties
I'm ending our relationship completely


Why
I'm asking why we went through all of this pain


I'm wishing you would die
I want to forget everything about you


So I can feel alive
I want to start feeling better and move on


I can't believe in what we are or who I am
I don't believe in us as a couple or even in myself anymore


You wonder how we got to live so when it all began
You don't know how we got to where we are and when it all started


And then I look into your eyes I don't know what to say
When I see you, I'm at a loss for words


All those things you've done to me
You've hurt me in so many ways


It's time for you to pay
It's time for you to face the consequences of your actions


I'm not sorry
I'm not sorry for ending things


If I knew who I am
If I had a better understanding of myself


There's nowhere left to go
There's no future for us


No
I'm not changing my mind


There's nothing left to find
There's nothing to salvage in our relationship
