about

The lyrics convey a poignant narrative of love, loss, and the struggle to move on. The writer grapples with the aftermath of a failed relationship, feeling disconnected from themselves and their surroundings. Despite the pain and defeat, they remain tethered to memories of their past love, unable to fully let go. The enduring presence of the person they once loved, haunting every aspect of their existence. Through evocative imagery and raw emotion, the lyrics explore the complexities of heartbreak and the lingering echoes of a love that refuses to fade away.

lyrics

I can't fight
No way to win
Attach me to another
I won't touch an empty skin
I loved you like a mother

I don't fit this body and soul
Hollow in the shadows
Losing you, I'm left behind
Hanging from the gallows

I'm beaten down, defeat on the ground
A triumph over pride
Dig me up, I'm buried within
Ooh, you're still deep inside

I’m too old, to start again
Hung up left to dry
I’m too weak, from loving you
It took so much to try

I don't recall, the people I’ve been
I turned into another
But somewhere beneath, this empty skin
There still lies your lover

I'm beaten down, defeat on the ground
A triumph over pride
Dig me up, I'm buried within
Ooh, you're still deep inside

You're still deep inside
You're still deep inside
