Our Shadows
Shadows of Despair: Acidic Reflections on a Lonely Summit
Lyrics
So much fear in me
Expressing a deep sense of fear within the speaker
The future that I will never-never see
Regret for a future that will never be experienced
Happiness is wasted-for ever
Belief that happiness is permanently unattainable
Here, so lonely at the mountain top
Feelings of loneliness at a high point in life
Is all this for a better tomorrow?
Questioning the purpose of current struggles for a better future
The shouting the running alienated personalities
Describing a chaotic scene of alienated individuals
Feel like an idiot to myself
Feeling foolish or disconnected from oneself
So depressed-so depressed
Expressing a profound state of depression
The engine-sound, so deafening
Describing a deafening engine sound, possibly symbolizing external pressures
Above our heads like a God
Comparing the sound above to a god-like presence
In desperate moments I run-I run for myself
Seeking refuge within one's own shadow
Hide beneath my shadow(hide beneath my shadow)
Repetition of seeking shelter in one's shadow, emphasizing escape
Snakes in my hands, in my red eyes
Metaphorically referencing snakes in hands and red eyes, suggesting internal turmoil
As it fires its lightening away
Describing a force firing lightning, possibly representing external threats
My gun no longer protects me-did it ever, I wonder
Doubting the protective nature of one's own metaphorical gun
So depressed, so depressed
Reiteration of a profound state of depression
It's better this way
Expressing a preference for a certain way of coping
Not to think-not to think again
Choosing not to engage in deep thinking
Why should I-should I live for
Questioning the purpose of living for someone else's war
Fight again in someone else's war
Expressing reluctance to fight in external conflicts
The light brings pain, but heals my scars
Describing the contradictory nature of light, bringing both pain and healing
My skin is re-becoming in a new state of life
Physical transformation and renewal in the face of pain
Sorrow is behind in the noise of a neverland
Past sorrows are left behind in a noisy, unreal place
Beneath my shadow nothing exist
Emphasizing that nothing exists beneath the speaker's shadow
Nothing exist...
Reiteration that nothing exists beneath the speaker's shadow
