The lyrics are about how the protagonist feels every day. They talk about how their eyes feel heavy, like they are made of clay. The protagonist wonders if they will always feel this way or if things will change. They want their mind to stay awake and be present. The protagonist says that they are here to stay and asks the listener what they have to say. They encourage the listener to take a break or share their fears or walk away if they need to. The protagonist reassures the listener that they are not going under or giving up, and that it's because of them. The lyrics also mention how the protagonist feels dread when they wash and don't want to be who they thought they were anymore. They talk about cutting out the negative feelings. In another part of the song, the protagonist talks about how every time the listener wakes up or sees nature, they will be there to say that they have gone far but are still watching over the protagonist. The lyrics mention how leaves are falling over the protagonist and they wonder what they can do when no one knows they are there and no one understands the silence they have to keep. The protagonist mentions the fear that is hidden inside their home and assures the listener that they are not alone. They say that the listener has traveled to so many places but doesn't know where to go now. The protagonist assures the listener that they are not going under and neither are they.
