The song "My Gravity" by Escape The Fate tells the story of a toxic relationship that the narrator is trapped in. The lyrics describe how the weight of this relationship feels like being burdened by the heaviness of a million stars and being blinded by the sun. Despite realizing that the person they thought was "the one" isn't right for them, the narrator finds it difficult to let go. The chorus portrays the controlling and manipulative nature of the other person in the relationship. They are compared to gravity, constantly pulling the narrator down to their level, making them feel trapped and unable to escape. The metaphor of a magnet and steel emphasizes how the narrator feels irresistibly drawn to this person, even though they are aware of the negative consequences. The second verse reveals the cycle of the toxic relationship, where the narrator acknowledges that they have experienced this before. The relationship drains them emotionally, turning their life into a "horror scene." Despite wanting to leave, the other person begs them to stay, causing internal conflict and confusion. The bridge highlights the suffocating and destructive nature of the relationship, where the narrator feels like their oxygen is running out and they are being pushed towards their breaking point, metaphorically put "six feet in the ground." This portrays the detrimental effect the relationship has on their overall well-being. Overall, "My Gravity" speaks to the difficulties of breaking free from a toxic relationship and the emotional entanglement that keeps the narrator bound to their partner. It serves as a reminder of the destructive nature of such relationships and the importance of finding the strength to break free from their grip.
