Hell Or High Water
Woe Is Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Exploit my face behind these hands
And you're far to shallow to drown me in your follies
You wont make it far, this is bigger than who we are
How could you get this far, with such a bitter plan, building all these scars
Just go ahead, pull us out, to sea, relapse to what you were
Such a commodity for you and me to be lost at sea,
You drug me out here but honestly,
You are not to keen, on your current positions
You're to far out to swim your way in,
You're to far out to swim your way [2x]
Now that I'm back to where I started,
Drifting out against the oceans speed,
These waves will take you farther, into the deep
And I said, that this is the end, the end
(Let's both be honest, this is the end)
Pause, fold, contort, all your friends,
They fell short and sold you out
You're to far out, to swim you're way in,
You're to far out, to swim your way [2x]
When all is said, and done,
We face the problems we thought would never come,
These treacheries, will claim you.
I feel your hands inside of me.
The song "Hell Or High Water" by Woe Is Me speaks about a toxic relationship where one person has taken away the other's will to live, while being too shallow to realize the harm they have caused. The lyrics suggest that the relationship is detrimental and the singer has finally realized that it is better to break free even if it means facing the challenges alone. The line "You drug me out here but honestly, I can sleep and preach much better now, in the clear," suggests a newfound freedom from the toxic relationship. The singer advises the other person to let go and move forward as the relationship has reached its end.
The chorus, "You're too far out to swim your way in" repeats, emphasizing the point that the relationship has crossed the point of no return. The singer asks to pause, fold and contort one's feelings before they hurt themselves and others. The line "I feel your hands inside of me" suggests that even though the singer has left the relationship, the emotional trauma left behind is still there.
In summary, the lyrics of this song portray a situation where a toxic relationship has reached the end, and one person is finally breaking free and moving forward.
Line by Line Meaning
You've taken all my will to
You've sucked all of my energy and motivation
Exploit my face behind these hands
Force me to hide and cover up my true feelings
And you're far to shallow to drown me in your follies
You're not capable of destroying me with your destructive behaviors
You wont make it far, this is bigger than who we are
You won't succeed because this situation is beyond our control
How could you get this far, with such a bitter plan, building all these scars
How could you have come this far with such a malevolent plan and causing emotional wounds
Just go ahead, pull us out, to sea, relapse to what you were
Just let us drift away and return to your old bad habits
Such a commodity for you and me to be lost at sea,
We're nothing but disposable assets to you
You drug me out here but honestly,
You brought me into this mess, but to be honest,
I can sleep and preach much better now, in the clear,
I can rest and speak more at ease now that we're out of harm's way
You are not to keen, on your current positions
You should reconsider your current situation
You're to far out to swim your way in,
You're too distant to come back
Now that I'm back to where I started,
Now that I'm back to square one,
Drifting out against the oceans speed,
Being carried away by the current
These waves will take you farther, into the deep
These problems will bring you deeper into trouble
And I said, that this is the end, the end
I declared that this is the conclusion
(Let's both be honest, this is the end)
(Let's be honest, this is the end)
Pause, fold, contort, all your friends,
Confuse, mislead, and deceive your friends
They fell short and sold you out
They weren't helpful and betrayed you
When all is said, and done,
After all is considered
We face the problems we thought would never come,
We confront the challenges that we believed would never arrive
These treacheries, will claim you.
These acts of disloyalty will overpower you
I feel your hands inside of me.
I sense your influence over me

2022 and still introducing people to this album. Fuck Tyler for what he did, but the jams from WiM and Issues are undeniable.

Absolutely legendary. It never gets old. Crashed my car (on accident) listening to this when I was 16 and then almost 10 years later it was what my daughter came into the world listening to <3

I feel like this song doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's my favorite song from Number[s] and one of my favorites of all time.
