Giving In
Transit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're giving in.
Just let the poison take control
It's destroying everything.
Everything within.
(Time takes it toll on us,
Until we have nothing left to give,
I have nothing left to give.)
It poured into your soul
And drowned the heart within.
We're going down on this sinking ship.
Open your eyes this will never happen again.




With words that sink like stones we build the walls to our hearts.
It's just a poor excuse that all, a prison filled with innocents.

The poetry continues to explain that this surrender is destroying everything within and that time takes its toll on individuals until there is nothing left to give. The admission that the singer has nothing left to give is a cry for help, a sign that they have lost hope and are struggling to hold on.
