All my time is wasted

Feeling like my heart's mistaken

Here the artist is saying that he feels like he has wasted his time if what he feels is right, is actually wrong

So if I'm losing a piece of me

Maybe I don't want heaven

Without losing a piece of me

How do i get to heaven?

Without changing a part of me

How do i get to heaven?

The artist is saying that if he has to change who he is so that people will accept him, maybe being accepted by those people isn't what he wants

Here the artist is asking: how can I do what is right, if people say that I am living in sin.

Theme

Tone

Trying to embrace the picture I paint

And colour me free

The tone in this song is melancholy because the author is speaking of a sad time in his life

The theme of this song is that it is okay to come out people shouldn't judge because of that

The artist is saying that he is trying to embrace who he is and be the person he was meant to be

Literary devices

The truth runs wild

Like the rain to the sea

Trying to set straight the lines that i trace

To find some release

This voice inside

Has been eating at me

Simile

Personification

"The truth runs wild"

"The truth runs wild

Like a tear down a cheek"

"The truth runs wild

Like rain to the sea"

"The truth runs wild

Like kids on concrete"

Cliche

The artist is feeling guilty for hiding for so long, and because of what he had been taught, he was beating himself up about it on the inside

"Lying through my teeth"

So I'm counting to fifteen

Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen

So I'm counting to fifteen

Counting to fifteen, counting to fifteen

This lyric has a bit of a double meaning

First, it is a mantra he used when he was anxious about coming out

Second, he came out when he was fifteen, so he was counting the years until he could really be himself
