Grave

In 'Grave,' C.R.O delves into the depths of emotional turmoil and the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of despair. The song opens with the artist expressing that his soul remains 'grave,' a term that signifies a state of severe distress or seriousness. This sets the tone for the entire song, as he acknowledges that everyone around him is aware of his suffering, yet he finds solace in the bar, a common refuge for those seeking to escape their pain. The imagery of a heart without a key and doors closing on him further emphasizes his sense of isolation and abandonment.

The lyrics continue to explore the theme of a toxic relationship that has left a lasting impact on the artist. He recalls being slowly 'killed' in a dark and dirty room, a metaphor for the emotional damage inflicted by his partner. Despite the pain, he admits that he cannot function without their 'fire,' indicating a dependency on the very source of his suffering. This paradox of needing what harms you is a powerful depiction of the complexities of love and addiction.

C.R.O also touches on broken promises and the realization that his partner's words were empty. He sees the truth in their eyes and recognizes their sadness, yet he feels unheard and unseen in his attempts to escape the situation. The repetition of trying to leave but finding no one listening or waiting for him highlights the loneliness and helplessness that often accompany such emotional struggles. 'Grave' is a poignant reflection on the weight of a heavy heart and the difficulty of breaking free from the chains of a painful past.
