Masked
Unveiling the Inner Struggle
Lyrics
I've been a broken man
The speaker feels emotionally shattered and incomplete.
Severed from the ones, I call my friends
Feeling disconnected or separated from their friends or close connections.
I've been alone again
Experiencing solitude or loneliness once more.
Rupturing from the inside out
Feeling internal turmoil or emotional distress.
I'm a complete disaster
Describing oneself as a significant failure or a chaotic mess.
Mental, unstable, shamefully fatal
Referring to mental instability and feeling shamefully self-destructive.
I've been lying again
Admitting to dishonesty or deception.
Pretending I like the isolation
Acting as if they enjoy being isolated, possibly to cover up their true feelings.
I want to be the place that you call home
Expressing a desire to be a place of comfort and safety for someone else.
As the waters rise around, don't let me go
Amid difficulties, asking not to be abandoned.
And I promise you that I'll hold on
Committing to holding on despite challenges.
Take comfort, it's just you and I
Offering reassurance that they will support the other person.
I see your hand reaching out
Noticing the other person reaching out for help or connection.
I've been like this for far too long
Being in a negative state for an extended period.
I know that change is hard
Acknowledging that change is difficult.
I don't know if I'm ready for it
Expressing uncertainty or unpreparedness for change.
You better bite your tongue
Advising someone to refrain from speaking to avoid pain or conflict.
So I can watch it bleed
Expressing a desire to witness the pain of someone who is self-righteous.
Self righteous coward, afraid of change
Describing oneself as someone afraid of change and unwilling to confront it.
I'll rip the mask off your face
Metaphorically stating an intention to reveal someone's true nature.
And sow your lips together
Desiring to silence someone's insincerity or pretense.
So you can't pretend
Preventing someone from pretending or hiding their true self.
To hide in the dark
Rejecting the idea of allowing someone to hide in secrecy.
I want to be the place that you call home
Reiterating the desire to be a secure and comforting presence for someone.
As the waters rise around, don't let me go
Requesting not to be abandoned during challenging times.
And I promise you that I'll hold on
Committing again to holding on despite difficulties.
Take comfort, it's just you and I
Reassuring the other person of mutual support and comfort.
Don't let me go
Pleading not to be abandoned.
I'll hold on so tight to you
Expressing a strong desire to hold onto the other person tightly.
It's just you and I
Emphasizing the importance of their unity and connection.
I want to be the place that you call home
Reiterating the wish to provide a sense of home and security.
As the waters rise around, don't let me go
Requesting not to be abandoned despite challenges.
And I promise you that I'll hold on
Committing once more to holding on despite difficulties.
Take comfort, it's just you and I
Reassuring mutual support and comfort in a challenging situation.
I've been a broken man
