Sylar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But what I failed to mention is it won't be very pleasant
It got me stressin′ hating my own reflection
My self-inflicted wounds really need attention (uh)
I get uneasy when my backs against the wall (uh)
'Cause it ain't easy when they wanna see you fall, nah
Oh, we friends? But you talk about me when I′m not around
Just take a minute, listen before you tear it down
Can′t look back but I won't let go
Been through hell and it′s all I know (I think I did it again)
The closer I get, the faster I break (I always seem to break)
Trapped inside and I know it hurts (no)
Can't forget so I make it worse (I think I did it again)
The closer I get, the faster I break
Trust me I see these open doors
But they don′t answer all my questions
The tension and aggression
Fall between my good intentions
It's so frustrating
My peace of mind is fading
The same ones tearing me down
Are the ones that helped me make it
You think I wanted to be like this?
So weak, so tense, I′m so paranoid
You think I wanted to be like this?
Anything, everything just to fill the void
Can't look back but I won't let go
Been through hell and it′s all I know (I think I did it again)
The closer I get, the faster I break (I always seem to break)
Trapped inside and I know it hurts (no)
Can′t forget so I make it worse (I think I did it again)
The closer I get, the faster I break
I've been at the bottom slowly trying to crawl out
Always wondering if this is how it ends now
Loyalty these days seems like just another word
I′ll remember who you were when I was at my worst
Can't look back but I won′t let go
Been through hell and it's all I know (I think I did it again)
The closer I get, the faster I break (I always seem to break)
Trapped inside and I know it hurts (no)
Can′t forget so I make it worse (I think I did it again)
The closer I get, the faster I break
I've been at the bottom slowly trying to crawl out
(The faster I break) always wondering if this is how it ends now
Loyalty these days seems like just another word
I'll remember who you were when I was at my worst

The strain and hostility present in my life
Fall between my good intentions
Come as a result of my well-meaning plans and desires
It's so frustrating
I find it incredibly exasperating
My peace of mind is fading
My sense of tranquility and calmness is slowly slipping away
The same ones tearing me down
The very same individuals who are undermining and critiquing me
Are the ones that helped me make it

You think I wanted to be like this?
Do you truly believe that I actively desired to be in this state?

Anything, everything just to fill the void
Engaging in any and every activity or seeking any form of distraction just to escape the emptiness and lack within myself
I've been at the bottom slowly trying to crawl out
I have been at my lowest point, gradually attempting to climb out of this despair
Always wondering if this is how it ends now
Perpetually questioning whether this is the final outcome and culmination of my struggles
Loyalty these days seems like just another word
In the present time, loyalty feels empty and meaningless, merely a superficial term
I'll remember who you were when I was at my worst
I will not forget who you truly were during the most challenging moments of my life
