Chest Pressure
Sianvar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it starts you and I are calmly drinking gasoline until one of us sneezes on the candle kindling our lust for violent words.
We start killing.
Acts of the past, are they worth getting off my chest to feel free while she burns?
He won't ever let her go.
She won't ever want to go.
I am the leech I want removed.
I am the leech I once removed.
Fighting in the bedroom, I am the leech I want removed Aggravate a tantrum, I am the leech I can't remove.
Secret Crime: leave it off the record.
for you, for me, for us.
This would cut all ties; leave it off the record.
Off the record!
Apparition truth-crustacean, hostile in the wrong conditions.
Talking once was mass elation now aggressive desperation.
for you for me for us.
True feelings failing to show.
Secrets pending, keeping us close.
Is this worth getting off my chest?
Is this worth crushing our souls.
Is this worth getting off my chest.
Is this worth asking, "
What's this worth?" Is this worth getting off my chest.
I am the leech I am the leech.
Operation desperation.




Living in the wrong conditions.
Have you tasted the gasoline?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Sianvar's song Chest Pressure depict a toxic and destructive relationship. The first two lines of the song describe the two individuals calmly drinking gasoline before igniting into volatile behavior. The idea of drinking gasoline is a metaphor for the destructive tendencies that these two people possess. One sneeze on the candle which kindles their lust for violent words can be interpreted as a sudden moment of tension that escalates their destructive behavior. From there, they start "killing" each other emotionally with hurtful words and actions which ultimately leads to them airing out their respective secrets to one another.


The next set of lyrics "'Acts of the past, are they worth getting off my chest to feel free while she burns? He won't ever let her go. She won't ever want to go'" suggests that one person in the relationship is trying to confess to their past mistakes to ease their own conscience. However, the other person refuses to let go of the hurt and pain that they feel, and the woman continues to stay in the relationship despite her own suffering.


The chorus of the song contains the repeated phrase "I am the leech I want removed" which alludes to the idea that one person in the relationship feels like they are a burden on the other person. They want to remove themselves from the situation, but they also feel like they can't because of their attachment to the person. The line "Aggravate a tantrum, I am the leech I can't remove" captures the aspect of the relationship where the individuals are fueling each other's toxic behavior.


Overall, the song Chest Pressure by Sianvar portrays a relationship that is filled with hurt, pain, and a sense of being trapped. The characters in the song feel the need to get their secrets and pains off their chest, but they also fear that their actions will lead to even greater destruction.

First Stolas, now Sianvar. Hooked. I love this sound

@ZBxRaptor92

I feel bad because I got Stolas' album/ep whatever when it was released, but I hadn't really listened to it properly until a few days ago :S... That was wrong of me haha. But yeah this song is disgustingly good.

@soberboykumar8312

***** yeah bro, the vibe at 2:04 on the guitars is like a Sergio signature lol. Got a few moments like it on the living creatures album too, that's what really got me. This whole track is nasty, can't wait for this EP

@ZBxRaptor92

Oh yeah no doubt I actually recognise that groove from Stolas' album actually haha. Definitely looking to be a good ep even though I don't like Sick Machine as much. I'm gonna have to check out HTS now properly as well.
