✍🏻 LYRICS & COMPOSITION BY EME LATINA (2025)

ABOUT:
-------------

This is a poem I wrote, that I structured into this song, about the complex process of confronting despair and the impulse to withdraw, while simultaneously holding onto some fragile hope beneath it all. It’s both a raw look at suffering and a quiet, almost resigned acceptance that breaking down can be part of healing or transformation.

LYRICS:
-------------

[Verse 1]
Imagine gasping for air
Your lungs filled with expectation
Nothing else
Imagine dissolving your bones
Because hurting isn’t enough
You want to drown in your own bloodstream
Imagine you lost your sanctum
Your every day thoughts are mundane
Riddled with necessities

[Pre-Chorus]
Imagine it
Imagine it

[Chorus]
Under the conformity there is hope
It is self-destructive
Sometimes you must
retreat
Leave it on the table,
neat

[Verse 2]
You fold your atoms into themselves
Until you fade away (for a minute)
In that instance of no existence
You find emotions are persistent
Like knocking on wood
Thinking maybe you could
But why would—you?

[Pre-Chorus]
Imagine it
Imagine it

[Chorus]
Under the conformity there is hope
It is self-destructive
Sometimes you must
retreat
Leave it on the table,
neat

[Outro]
Leave it like Autumn…
(Leave it)
It’s the death of pretty things
(Leave it)
It’s just
Body deconstruction
Oh it’s just…
accepted destruction
