Runaway
Runaway: Battling Inner Emptiness
Lyrics
What would this be?
Reflecting on the current situation and questioning its nature.
If not constantly hollow and empty
Expressing a persistent feeling of emptiness and hollowness.
What could this mean?
Contemplating the potential significance of the situation.
I've made peace with my inner enemy
Acceptance of and reconciliation with one's internal struggles.
Who am I now that the silence surrounds?
Identity crisis in the midst of silence and solitude.
It's so loud, there's nothing to block out
Highlighting the overwhelming nature of the surrounding quietness.
I'm not proud of the emptiness following me everywhere I go
Acknowledging and regretting the pervasive emptiness accompanying the speaker.
Lurking just beneath fragile surface
A description of inner turmoil lurking just beneath the surface.
Itching to release, is it worth it?
Considering the value of expressing and releasing pent-up emotions.
Go back to the days, constant hurting
Nostalgia for past struggles and pain.
Tell me there's a way out of this
Seeking reassurance or guidance for escaping the current state.
'Cause right now I'm just going through all of the motions
Describing a robotic, mechanical approach to life's challenges.
That's the only way that I know how to function
Adopting a repetitive and detached coping mechanism.
Spent so many years, fighting tears, and emotion
Recalling years of suppressing tears and emotions.
Finally figured out it's my only solution
Realization that the adopted coping mechanism is the only solution.
And I can't win this war
Admitting defeat in an internal struggle that persists over several years.
It's been several years and I'm still locked out of the same damn door
Expressing frustration at being stuck in the same difficult situation.
Lurking just beneath fragile surface
Reiteration of the hidden struggles just beneath the surface.
Itching to release, is it worth it?
Revisiting the contemplation of releasing inner turmoil.
Go back to the days, constant hurting
Longing for the past, even if it involved constant pain.
Tell me there's a way out of this
Seeking assurance or guidance for breaking free from the current state.
'Cause right now I'm just going through all of the motions
Repeating the robotic and detached approach to life's challenges.
That's the only way that I know how to function
Emphasizing the familiarity of the coping mechanism.
Spent so many years, fighting tears, and emotion
Recalling years of battling tears and suppressing emotions.
Finally figured out it's my only solution
Affirmation that the adopted coping mechanism remains the only solution.
I runaway
Expressing the desire to escape or run away from the current predicament.
I runaway
Reiterating the theme of wanting to run away from the challenges.
Lurking just beneath fragile surface
Repeating the description of hidden struggles beneath the surface.
Itching to release, is it worth it?
Revisiting the contemplation of releasing inner turmoil.
Go back to the days, constant hurting
Nostalgia for the past, even if it involved constant pain.
Tell me there's a way out of this
Seeking assurance or guidance for breaking free from the current state.
'Cause right now I'm just going through all of the motions
Repeating the robotic and detached approach to life's challenges.
That's the only way that I know how to function
Emphasizing the familiarity of the coping mechanism.
Spent so many years, fighting tears, and emotion
Recalling years of battling tears and suppressing emotions.
Finally figured out it's my only solution
Affirmation that the adopted coping mechanism remains the only solution.
