Discover the story of the song > Scissors – Holding Absence

The lyrics talk about the protagonist feeling hopeless and giving up on themselves. They see themselves in a different light that changes everything. They want to cut out the parts of their soul that have been infected with poisonous cells or use scissors to cut themselves free. They are tired of looking at themselves in mirrors and want to be seen but are scared of how they will be perceived. They want to get rid of the excess and are sick of themselves. In the end, they feel desperate to be seen, but scared of being perceived, and decide to cut out the parts of their soul that have become like hell by themselves.
