Suffocating
The Road To Milestone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lashed out and attacked
We buried the hatchet
By plunging it deep in our backs
The baggage is packed
Light shines through the cracks
We buried the hatchet
We took a chance and we wondered if we loved ourselves
I chose your heart over oxygen
We'll take a breath and we'll wait until
We're suffocating
our love left constantly waiting
and now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced,
we've been here before
holding our hope for something more.
The damage was done
We loaded our guns
With trauma and wounding
that left us stunned
And we bled out together
We dragged ourselves deeper
Then acted as anchors
short roped, kept us under
With no air left to breath in
We lashed out at each other
We clung onto the dream tight
And we drowned one another
We took a chance and we wondered if we loved ourselves
I chose your heart over oxygen
We'll take a breath and we'll wait until
Something gets better
Keep every letter
Never stop writing
(Now that we both know)
It's all in the timing
(We both know)
If staying means dying
we both know
We're suffocating (our love)
our love left constantly waiting
and now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced,
we've been here before
holding our hope for something more.
We're suffocating (our love)
Our love left constantly waiting,
and now we're dragging up the past,
We burned out and we crashed.
We buried the hatchet
by plunging it deep in our backs.
Carry hope
I'll bear it as a torch
A lighthouse guiding us to shore
Maybe we'll see each other
on the other side
We're suffocating (our love)
our love left constantly waiting
and now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced,
we've been here before
holding our hope for something more.
We're suffocating (our love)
Our love left constantly waiting,
and now we're dragging up the past,
We burned out and we crashed.
We buried the hatchet
by plunging it deep in our backs
The lyrics of The Road To Milestone's song Suffocating are deeply emotional and describe a tumultuous relationship that has been damaged and wounded by the past. The opening lines "We're still holding back, lashed out, and attacked, we buried the hatchet by plunging it deep in our backs" suggest that the two people in the relationship have suppressed their feelings for one another and resorted to attacking each other. They acknowledge that they have buried their anger and resentment deep within, giving the impression that it has reached breaking point.
The lines "The damage was done, we loaded our guns, with trauma and wounding that left us stunned, and we bled out together" truly capture the emotional essence of this song. The two people involved in this relationship are deeply wounded and have bled together, indicating that they have gone through a lot of pain as a couple. The lyrics continue to describe how they have dragged themselves deeper and acted as anchors for each other, keeping them under with no air left to breathe in.
However, the song also offers hope for the future, as the chorus repeats the words "We're suffocating, our love left constantly waiting, and now we're going back and forth, convictions enforced, we've been here before, holding our hope for something more." They have hope that things will change and that they can find happiness together.
