Scrape And Claw
Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I Clench my fists and lose my grip.
I 'm throwing the towel in.
I swear, I'm seeing red again.
Fighting on to survive.
Every inch feels like a mile.
I scrape and claw
Cut deep I'm bleeding out again
Well I try, I tried and I try but I cannot forgive.
Your not the only one to blame.
We cover up and tried to forget
The open wounds that never mend.
So they scream
I hear them crying out
I hear them rattle chains.
But I cannot forgive.
I woke with my back against the ropes
I choked with a burning throat.
This place, I swear it's fucking haunted.
Just listen to them scream
Tired souls, they long to live again.
Lets burn it down lets burn it all
The song Scrape And Claw by Transit touches on the feeling of being trapped in a difficult situation and fighting to survive. The opening lines "What a mess this is, I Clench my fists and lose my grip" portray the frustration and anger of feeling overwhelmed. The singer is at a breaking point and gives up, saying "I'm throwing the towel in, I swear, I'm seeing red again." Despite feeling defeated, he continues to push forward with desperation, "Fighting on to survive, every inch feels like a mile."
The chorus "I scrape and claw, cut deep I'm bleeding out again" further emphasises the feeling of struggle and pain. The singer admits that he has tried to forgive and move on, "Well I try, I tried, and I try but I cannot forgive". He also acknowledges that there is more than one person to blame - "You're not the only one to blame" - and that they have tried to forget the pain by covering up their wounds.
