Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Throw The Fight's song The Wreckage speak of the desperation and fear of being trapped in a car submerged underwater. The opening lines describe the overwhelming feeling of being trapped as the water rises and the air supply dwindles. The theme of being trapped is emphasized further as the singer mentions their hands being tied, unable to free themselves. The lyrics convey the singer's anguish and helplessness as they struggle to survive.

As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their regrets and missed opportunities, unsure if they'll ever get the chance to make things right. They also express their love for someone who is with them in this wreckage, and the heartbreak that comes with the realization that they may not make it out alive. The emotions are palpable, and the imagery of the white light filtering in as the singer closes their eyes gives a sense of acceptance and surrender.

The final lines are heartbreaking as the singer comes to terms with losing their loved one and the pain that will never heal, even if they are able to survive. Overall, the song is a powerful portrayal of the human experience when faced with a life-threatening situation.

Line by Line Meaning

The water's rising up
The water level is increasing

the air is getting oh so thin
The air is decreasing in quantity and quality

I struggle but I lie trapped under this crushing tide
Despite my efforts, I am trapped under a heavy current

My hands still shake with Fear
I am still experiencing fear which is making my hands shake

the silence replaced all my tears
I am so emotionally overwhelmed that I can't even cry

Time seems to pass me by
It feels like time is moving too quickly and I cannot keep up

The doors are locked I say goodbye
I am saying my final goodbye as there seems to be no way out

Take us away, save us tonight
Please take us to safety and save us from this situation

Close your eyes
Close your eyes to escape the situation

Say goodbye
Say goodbye to this world

Caught in this wreckage with you
Stuck in this wreckage with another person

hands tied at ten then tied at two
Hands are restrained at 10 and 2 positions

My scars won't ever heal when I am lying in this metal tomb
My emotional and physical scars won't heal when I am stuck in this metal car

My scars won't ever heal when I am lying
My emotional and physical scars may never heal when I am in this situation

dying next to you
Dying near another person in this wreckage

The pictures in my head
Memories flash in my mind

a million things I should have said
I regret not saying many things

I live With one regret
I have one major regret that I will carry with me

pray to God he will hear my request
I pray that God hears my pleas for help and safety

the white light starts to filter in
I am slowly losing consciousness and experiencing a white, bright light

I'll see you at The end
I will meet you in the afterlife

waiting there with my best friend
You will be waiting for me in the afterlife with a close friend

My swollen heart explodes
My heart is filled with so much emotion that it feels like it will burst

seeing you on your own
Seeing you alone in this situation is heartbreaking

I fight with my last breath
I am fighting to stay alive with my last bit of energy

tear the cord that restrains My chest
I try to remove the restriction around my chest to breathe better

I pulled the door ajar
I managed to open the car door slightly

swam for safety leaving the car
I swam away from the car to safety

I thought I got you clear
I believed that I had saved the other person

pulled you out and found you some air
I removed the other person from the wreckage and helped them breathe

The sight of flashing lights tells me that I'm alive
The flashing lights indicate that I am still alive

The voices whisper that the girl she went and died tonight
Voices inform me that the other person did not make it through the situation alive

And I know my tears Will rain
I know that I will continue to cry

until I'm with you once again
I will cry until we meet in the afterlife

My love, my everything
You mean everything to me

my broken heart will never mend
My heart is irreparably damaged

And I know my tears will rain Until I'm with you once again
I will continue to cry until we are reunited in the afterlife

My broken heart will never end
The pain and hurt in my heart will last forever

Throw The Fight is one of the best bands to come out of the state of Minnesota. I have had the privilege of playing a couple venues with these guys before they made it big, and I can say they are a stand up bunch of individuals as well as kick ass musicians. This is my favorite song of theirs. Can't wait until they come back to MN to kick some ass!!
