Paper Skin
Yearning for Liberation
Lyrics
All our wants and needs have been sated
All desires and necessities have been fulfilled.
We have escaped the cruelty of the night
We have escaped the harshness of the night.
Calm is for the weak and the sainted
Calmness is for the weak and the virtuous.
We want something that we just cannot hide
We desire something that cannot be concealed.
Drag me to hell and back
Expressing a willingness to face challenges and difficulties.
I'm free as a bird
Feeling liberated and unrestricted.
But lock me up, keep me trapped
However, feeling confined and unable to speak under certain circumstances.
I can't say a word
A sense of silence or suppression.
Paper skin unstable
Metaphorically referring to vulnerability or fragility.
How I crave to be a savior of days
Expressing a desire to be a positive influence in daily life.
If passion is a fable
If intense emotions are considered a myth or unattainable.
I'll be ready
Ready and willing to undergo change or deterioration.
I'll be able to decay
Prepared to decay or decline.
And if things do go to plan
Referring to the unpredictability of plans and the need to start anew.
We'll just have to start all over again
If things do not go as expected, restarting is the only option.
I'm static, motionless in the abyss
Feeling stagnant and unmoving in a difficult situation.
I'm drowning deeper into the mundane
Sinking deeper into the ordinary or mundane.
It cannot get much crueler now than this
Expressing that the current situation cannot become more harsh or cruel.
I'm quiet now but I am not yet tame
Presently quiet, but not yet submissive or domesticated.
Oh, drag me to hell and back
Repetition of the willingness to face challenges and difficulties.
I'm free as a bird
Reiteration of the feeling of liberation and freedom.
But lock me up keep me trapped
Repetition of the sense of confinement and inability to speak.
I can't say a word
Repetition of a state of silence or suppression.
Paper skin unstable
Reiteration of vulnerability or fragility metaphor.
How I crave to be a savior of days
Repetition of the desire to be a positive influence in daily life.
If passion is a fable
Reiteration of the consideration of intense emotions as a myth.
I'll be ready
Reiteration of readiness to undergo change or deterioration.
I'll be able to decay
Reiteration of preparedness to decay or decline.
And if things do go to plan
Reiteration of the unpredictability of plans and the need to start anew.
We'll just have to start all over again
If things do not go as expected, restarting is the only option.
No more reasons to cry the night away
No more reasons to lament or be sad throughout the night.
So I'll just sit so silently cause the night is here to stay
Silently enduring the night as it persists.
No more reasons to cry the night away
No more reasons to lament or be sad throughout the night.
So I'll just sit so silently cause the night is here to stay
Silently enduring the night as it persists.
So I'll just sit so silently cause the night is here to stay
