1
It's all falling down around me
The last grain of sand slipping through the hourglass
And it can be so overwhelming
Like racing to a red light
Someone cut the brake lines
Nothing's making sense
I'm running out of breath
My heart is beating faster and faster
It's happening again
The walls are closing in
I'm trying to hold on but it feels like the end
Cue the curtain call, roll the credits it's over
Death is creeping in and it's never been closer
All the violins won't make us sink slower
Put me in the ground, throw the flowers, it's over
The last time it almost killed me
I could see myself drifting through the afterlife
And from hell, I saw my body lifeless
Flat on my back, tied up to the train tracks
Nothing's making sense
I'm running out of breath
My heart is beating faster and faster
It's happening again
The walls are closing in
I'm trying to hold on but it feels like the end
Cue the curtain call, roll the credits it's over
Death is creeping in and it's never been closer
All the violins won't make us sink slower
Put me in the ground, throw the flowers, it's over
Take me out of this world
Where trust is corruption
I'll always be the pariah
So give me death and destruction
I smashed it all into pieces
Rolled in the glass till I bled
This whole ride was just a headrush
Drop the flowers, I'm dead
Nothing's making sense
I'm running out of breath
I'm trying to hold on but it feels like the end
Cue the curtain call, roll the credits it's over
Death is creeping in and it's never been closer
All the violins won't make us sink slower
Put me in the ground, throw the flowers, it's over
The last grain of sand slipping through the hourglass
And it can be so overwhelming
Like racing to a red light
Someone cut the brake lines
Nothing's making sense
I'm running out of breath
My heart is beating faster and faster
It's happening again
The walls are closing in
I'm trying to hold on but it feels like the end
Cue the curtain call, roll the credits it's over
Death is creeping in and it's never been closer
All the violins won't make us sink slower
Put me in the ground, throw the flowers, it's over
The last time it almost killed me
I could see myself drifting through the afterlife
And from hell, I saw my body lifeless
Flat on my back, tied up to the train tracks
Nothing's making sense
I'm running out of breath
My heart is beating faster and faster
It's happening again
The walls are closing in
I'm trying to hold on but it feels like the end
Cue the curtain call, roll the credits it's over
Death is creeping in and it's never been closer
All the violins won't make us sink slower
Put me in the ground, throw the flowers, it's over
Take me out of this world
Where trust is corruption
I'll always be the pariah
So give me death and destruction
I smashed it all into pieces
Rolled in the glass till I bled
This whole ride was just a headrush
Drop the flowers, I'm dead
Nothing's making sense
I'm running out of breath
I'm trying to hold on but it feels like the end
Cue the curtain call, roll the credits it's over
Death is creeping in and it's never been closer
All the violins won't make us sink slower
Put me in the ground, throw the flowers, it's over

I think this is about realizing & accepting or even embracing the inevitable weight of one's own mortality. Seeing death in a whole new light with the state of the world and one's place in it, I think the narrator here is realizing the end of their own life may not be as dark & disturbing in fact as it would be to have to continue to simply go on living.
