Engraved In Black: Navigating Life's Grotesque Contradictions
Lyrics
There's no turning back
There's a commitment or decision made that cannot be reversed.
Back out of life
Backing away or withdrawing from existence.
Life's adversity
Challenges and difficulties in life.
A grotesque contradiction
An ugly contrast or conflict.
Drowning in hope
Overwhelmed by optimism that leads to suffocation.
Hope gets distorted
Optimism becoming distorted or warped.
Distorted mental state
A mental state that's twisted or altered.
Feel the pain of life
Experiencing the suffering and hardship of life.
I hold in contempt
Feeling disdain or scorn for those who lack introspection.
Those without thoughts
Criticizing those who don't contemplate or think deeply.
A stupid kind of happyness
Describing a naive or foolish form of happiness.
Not aware of what's to come
Being unaware or oblivious to future consequences.
Scarce moment of joy
Scarcely experiencing moments of happiness.
To good to be true
Seemingly too perfect to be believable.
Feelings lighten up
Emotions becoming lighter or less intense.
Who will take it away
Concern about someone or something taking away these feelings.
Thinking you've got friends
Believing that one has companions but questioning their authenticity.
Feeling good inside
Feeling positive emotions internally.
Comparative moments
Instances of happiness compared and judged.
Of joy will fade away
Predicting that these joyful moments will diminish over time.
Gaining feelings
Developing emotions or feelings.
It feels so good inside
Experiencing internal satisfaction.
Comparative moments of joy
Comparing fleeting moments of joy.
Will be taken away
Anticipating the loss of these joyful moments.
People surrounding me
Feeling misunderstood by the people around.
Don't understand my ways
Others not comprehending one's behavior or actions.
Forcing myself into depression
Intentionally immersing oneself into a state of depression.
Going through a mental hell
Going through an intense mental torment or anguish.
Bust up my own mind
Causing damage or chaos within one's own thoughts.
Comparative moment of joy
Reflecting on a moment of happiness that's now lost.
Has been taken away
Confirming the past loss of a moment of joy.
Time after time
Repeating experiences or situations over time.
Things seem so different
Perceiving things to be drastically different.
Don't grow attached to people
Advising against forming strong emotional connections as they can be taken away.
They'll take it all away
Warning about the potential loss of everything by others.
