Journey Through Shadows: Embracing Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
How many days are your afraid
Questioning the number of days one is afraid.
Of turning off?
Asking about the fear of turning off.
You'd be amazed how easy
Expressing surprise at how easy it is to sleepwalk through life.
It's been to sleepwalk.
Reflecting on the automatic nature of certain actions without awareness.
I'm in a state where I can't tell what's right from wrong
Feeling confused about distinguishing right from wrong.
I'm making a face
Indicating a facial expression held for an extended period.
That I've been holding for far too long.
Describing the duration of maintaining a particular expression.
I'm on the cross
Metaphorically being on the cross, exposed and vulnerable.
There's nothing to hide when all is lost.
Highlighting openness when everything is lost.
I'm on the cross
Reiterating vulnerability on the cross, questioning the severity of truth or lies.
A truth or a lie, which could be worse?
Contemplating the potential harm of both truth and lies.
How many days until
Asking about the duration until realizing personal well-being.
I can see that I'm just find?
Expressing a struggle to recognize personal stability.
I try and I try but I just need a little time
Acknowledging the need for time despite efforts.
I haven't slept in one month
Revealing a prolonged period without sleep.
Things just don't seem okay
Stating a sense of unease and dissatisfaction.
And every time the sun's up
Noting a recurring cycle with each sunrise.
It's a new yesterday
Reflecting on the repetitiveness of life.
Drill the pressure right out of my head.
Describing releasing mental pressure.
Maybe I'm scared.
Admitting to fear and uncertainty.
Maybe I am
Reaffirming fear and vulnerability.
Weak and paranoid
Expressing weakness and paranoia.
When I speak white noise
Describing distorted communication as "white noise."
Pours out from my voice.
Highlighting the impact of speech on others.
Every time I move my lips, it tears
Conveying a disruptive effect when speaking.
Your little ears to bits
Emphasizing the consequences of words on others.
I'm frozen all the time, a deer in headlights
Feeling paralyzed and constantly alert.
I'll get to the point
Expressing intent to communicate directly.
You can't depend on love or truth
Questioning the reliability of love and truth.
To get your through
Highlighting the inadequacy of love and truth in tough situations.
Do you want me to explain?
Prompting the listener to inquire about an explanation.
Are you broken at the bone?
Asking if the listener is emotionally shattered.
Do you try and rearrange
Inquiring about attempts to improve life conditions.
A better life,
Desiring a better life and environment.
A bigger home?
Expressing the need for change and improvement.
So turn off the lights
Suggesting disconnecting from external influences.
Or at least unplug the phone
Advising to create personal space by turning off distractions.
I'm a threat when I'm left alone
Acknowledging a potential threat when left alone.
How many days
Repeating the question about the number of fearful days.
Are you afraid of turning off?
Reiterating the fear of turning off.
Do you feel like letting go?
Asking if one feels ready to let go.
It's been a good life, I'll be sad to see it go
Expressing gratitude for a good life despite an impending end.
