Diving into the depths of human emotion, this poignant track explores the theme of inner turmoil and loneliness. The protagonist hides his true self behind a metaphorical mask, struggling with his identity and mental health. His life feels like a waste to him, hinting at feelings of despair and hopelessness. The 'trapdoor' could symbolize an escape route from his pain or possibly even suicidal thoughts. However, he asks others to ignore his plight, reflecting how society often overlooks mental health issues. In essence, it's a powerful commentary on the silent battles many people fight every day while trying to appear 'okay'.
Trapdoor
Lyrics
He wakes up early today
Throws on a mask that will alter his face
Nobody knows his real name
But now he just uses one he saw on a grave
And he pretends he's okay, but you should see, oh
Him in bed late at night, he's petrified
Take me out, and finish this waste of a life
Everyone gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
As you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor
He thinks that faith might be dead
Nothing kills a man faster than his own head
He used to see dreams at night
But now he's just watching the backs of his eyes
He pretends he's okay, but you should see
Him in bed late at night, he's petrified
Take me out and finish this waste of a life
Everyone gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
As you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor
Take me out and finish this waste of life
Everyone gather around for a show
Watch as this man disappears as we know
Do me a favor and try to ignore
When you watch him fall through a blatant trapdoor
'Cause nobody knows he's alive
