Fade Away
Embracing Shadows: A Tale of Inner Struggle and Resilience
Lyrics
I just ate my first meal at 5
I had my first meal of the day at 5 PM.
Not from hunger but I figured it was time I tried
Not due to hunger, but I felt it was time to try eating.
In bed for hours I laid
I spent hours lying in bed.
Feeling everything but nothing
Experiencing a range of emotions but feeling empty.
Unsure if I wanted to but my tears ran dry
Uncertain if I wanted to cry, but my tears had run dry.
The sun is out so I shouldn't feel this way
Despite the sunny day, I feel emotionally down.
But in my mind it is all painted gray
Mentally everything seems gloomy and gray.
Breathe in
A directive to take a deep breath in.
Breathe out
A directive to exhale.
Maybe I just need to shout
Expressing a need to release emotions, maybe through shouting.
Stay in
Suggesting a choice to stay indoors.
Or go out
Or to go outside.
Mother tells me not to pout
Mother advises against sulking or being upset.
They say the darkest berries are the sweetest
Referring to the idea that the darkest experiences yield the sweetest lessons.
In my darkest mind I'll hide the secrets
In my troubled thoughts, I conceal my secrets.
I guess I forgot to tell you
Realizing a failure to communicate something important.
I guess if I get to
Considering the possibility of sharing the information.
Are you sure you need to know
Questioning the necessity of divulging the information.
Cause all I've told before they seem to go
Reflecting on past experiences where sharing led to disappointment.
Maybe no one will understand
Doubting if anyone will comprehend the situation.
Because even I don't understand
Admitting personal confusion and lack of understanding.
Breathe in
Repeating the directive to take a deep breath in.
Breathe out
Repeating the directive to exhale.
Maybe I just need to shout
Reiterating the need to release emotions, perhaps through shouting.
Stay in
Repeating the choice to stay indoors.
Or go out
Repeating the option to go outside.
Easy to forget what it's all about
Emphasizing how easy it is to forget the purpose or meaning of it all.
Can I learn to illuminate
Pondering the possibility of learning to bring light to the situation.
I've never been so afraid
Expressing intense fear, possibly related to the unknown.
Oh don't let me
A plea not to let the speaker fade away or disappear.
Fade away
A final repetition of the fear of fading away.
