ORIANTHI

- Suffocated Lyrics

In the beginning it was worth this
Do the worst, feel complete
Passing standards others meet
(What we do best)
Now perfect endings make you anxious
Heavy head, a colder sweat
Leaving nothing here, nothing to regret

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

I miss the old days that we murdered
They're so far gone, out of reach
Watch 'em fade with summer's heat
(Well it goes like this)
Without a break from this distraction
I need a change, a different scene
A new approach to coming clean

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

Still searching for a back door out of here
Reassured that old friends will reappear
Why am I still suffocating
Just hold your breathe deep and I'll keep waiting
(x2)

Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive
Why am I still suffocating
Constantly devastated just to stay alive

What is the meaning behind Suffocated lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, the song 'Suffocated' by Orianthi talks about the feeling of being so much under life's pressure that one sees no way out. The metaphor of suffocation illustrates the difficulty in breathing or finding an escape route. The main themes of Suffocated, according to the lyrics, are angst, despair, reflection, heartbreak, and nostalgia. The other side of the coin that the song puts forward is that suffocation and anxiety are necessary, losing the past joy, need for change, and search for escape. The lyrics also express anxiety, regret, and a feeling of being suffocated, which might be very heavy for the younger audience. The phrase 'constantly devastated just to stay alive' that keeps coming up indicates a kind of emotional suffering that might be a worry for kids. The description of the 'murdered' old days and the 'back door out of here' also imply a longing for freedom which might be linked to escapism or even self-harm. The combination of these factors along with the lyrical mood allows us to recommend a PG-13 rating to help signal the need for parental guidance due to the presence of mature themes and emotional content.
