Lex Talionis
Reckoning of the Soul: Apex Alpha's 'Lex Talionis' Unveiled
Lyrics
How many times did I try to tell you
Expressing frustration at attempting to communicate previously.
That you don't know what I've been through
Highlighting the lack of understanding about personal experiences.
To you I was always a pawn
Feeling treated as a mere pawn, possibly manipulated or used.
And now it seems that I'm too far gone
Sensing a distance or detachment from the person addressed.
I think it's time we settled the score
Expressing a need to settle unresolved issues.
It's something I cannot ignore
Stating the importance of addressing a lingering problem.
You heard me beg and heard me plead
Recalling past pleas and appeals for understanding.
But I won't let you devour me
Refusing to be consumed or overpowered by the other person.
You think you know what I want but that's not what I asked for
Rejecting assumptions about personal desires and intentions.
I have come to restore my pride
Asserting a desire to restore personal pride.
I'll release every demon inside
Announcing an intention to confront and overcome inner struggles.
Now that it's sink or swim
Facing a critical decision point in life.
I'm committing the darkest of sins
Acknowledging engagement in morally questionable actions.
How could I have been so blind
Expressing regret or realization about past blindness.
I let you fester inside my mind
Acknowledging the negative impact of another's influence.
The life you took from me was pure
Stating that the life previously enjoyed was genuine and untainted.
And now you just left me so insecure
Feeling left vulnerable and lacking confidence.
How can you be so sick
Expressing disbelief or disgust at the other person's actions.
Get in my head and find what makes me tick
Inviting introspection into personal motivations and triggers.
My life will never be the same
Anticipating a permanent change in life due to the circumstances.
I'm done being a part of your twisted game
Rejecting participation in a manipulative or harmful situation.
I wont let you invade my life
Refusing to allow intrusion into personal space or decisions.
Won't choose your ultimatums
Rejecting imposed choices with no clear solutions.
Choices impossible to decide
Expressing the difficulty of making impossible decisions.
So many times that I tried to tell you
Reiterating the failed attempts to communicate effectively.
About everything that ive been through
Reemphasizing personal struggles and experiences.
To you I was always a pawn
Reiterating the feeling of being used or manipulated.
And now I'm sure as fuck too far gone
Confirming a sense of irreparable distance from the other person.
You left me nothing
Expressing a sense of loss or abandonment.
You left me nothing
Repeating the feeling of being left with nothing.
You left me nothing
Reiterating the emotional void left behind.
But all the pain I buried deep inside
Describing the lingering emotional pain.
My mind; confined, the demons still trapped inside
Highlighting the ongoing struggle with internal demons.
