Question

What is the song about? What is the speaker saying? How is she using figurative language to convey hr feelings? What is the tone of each section? Why do you think the writer chose these particular words and phrases for this song?
I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath scared to rock the boat and make a mass so I set quietly, agreed politely I guess that I forgot I had a choice I let you push me past the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything.

Answer 1

This song is about heartbreak and the speaker is expressing their emotions through figurative language. For example: "I let you push me past the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything" is using figurative language because the speaker is telling the way she/he feels with descriptive terms. The tone of each section is upset and moody. These words and phrases were used for this song because they wanted the listener to feel what they feel without explicitly mentioning it in the song.
