Allison Ponthier's haunting melody conveys a profound narrative of personal transformation and rebirth. 🦋 The lyrics narrate the protagonist's struggle with her cyclical patterns and the decision to break free, symbolized by 'faking her own death.' She uses this metaphor to express a desire to sever ties with her past, burning bridges that might take her back. 🔥 The time span of three years mentioned in the song signifies a period of self-discovery and healing. Her 'rising from the ashes' is an ode to resilience, echoing themes of phoenix-like rebirth after enduring hardship. This song serves as a poignant reminder that it's never too late for personal reinvention and growth.
Faking My Own Death
Lyrics
I just wanna say that I'm sorry in advance
Count on me like clockwork
It won't work
The only promise I can make
Is I'm changing all my plans
And you'll never see me again
I'm warning you it's over before it began
We're diving in headfirst, in reverse
You're swimming through my wake
And I'm slipping through your hands
And you'll never see me again
Typical, it's so cyclical
I got one foot out the door
But I don't fight it anymore
Don't hold your breath
I'm faking my own death
I'll drop a burning match
And burn bridge that takes me back
I'm putting it to rest
I'm faking my own death
Three years passes
And I'm rising from the ashes
I'm rising from the ashes
I'm stuck repeating history
And I just can't help myself
It's almost like I'm always someone else
There's nothing you could say to me
In sickness or in health
I hate it just as well
Typical, it's so cyclical
I got one foot out the door
But I don't fight it anymore
Don't hold your breath
I'm faking my own death
I'll drop a burning match
And burn the bridge that takes me back
I'm putting it to rest
I'm faking my own death
Three years passes
And I'm rising from the ashes
I'm rising from the ashes
I'm missing in action
Three years passing
Don't hold your breath
I'm faking my own death
I'll drop a burning match
And burn the bridge that takes me back
I'm putting it to rest
I'm faking my own death
Three years passes
And I'm rising from the ashes
I'm rising from the ashes
