Ache
Sufferer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no chance that I'd make it
It'd bury me
I depend on you
You're my home
But god how it scares me to think that your patience is wearing thin
Do you see it on her face, the resentment?
For every time you pushed and begged her to end it
Stay with me, stay with me 'til it all passes me by
I'm sorry this happens and thank you for giving me time
Let me bury myself in your comfort
Though I know that I'm leeching you dry
Will you carry me, still call me lover
Though the weight of me shows in your eyes
I sense it, the increasing distance and
I sense it, your exit plan forming and
I sincerely fear that I've turned you to ice
No longer your sense of warmth
Stay with me, stay with me til it's all gone
You're a shelter from storms no one sees as they're passing
And you've weathered me silent and thankless
Never asking
Patience is the only word that I seem to forget
Any lesson learned is lost in the process of living in...
How many times will you allow me to cut you down?
Unintentional incisions bleed you dry of your time
Are you wasting your life with me?
Pull out my eyes
Great winding stairways leading to nothing
built upon something I thought would change
All I need is you
Please leave me here
The first verse of "Ache" by Sufferer talks about the fear of being alone, and how the singer is dependent on someone, whom they refer to as "home". The fear they feel stems from the possibility that the other person's patience might run out, which hints at the idea that the relationship has reached a critical point.
The second verse of the song focuses on the guilt that the singer feels for being a burden, and a drain on the person they are depending on. The lyrics are filled with remorse as the singer apologizes for the trouble they are causing and realizes the toll their issues are taking on the other person. Ultimately, the singer fears that they have pushed the other person away, and sees them drifting further from each other.
The chorus is a plea for the other person to stay, and the fear of being left alone amplifies throughout the song. The singer is grateful for the support they are getting, but they can sense an exit strategy being formulated by the other person. The song ends with a request for the other person to stay even though the singer knows that they are not in a position to offer anything in return.
