Stripped Away
Unveiling Emotional Struggles: Ashes Divide's 'Stripped Away'
Lyrics
Motivate to forget so I can endure your words
Motivated to forget in order to endure hurtful words.
Tell myself it's OK cause you say you're finding me pretty
Self-assurance derived from being perceived as attractive by someone.
Enough
Expressing a sense of adequacy or satisfaction.
Stripped away
Referring to a loss or removal of something significant.
Something I'll never get back someday
The lost element cannot be regained in the future.
I'm stuck in doubt, looking for the door that leads me out
Feeling uncertain, searching for an exit from doubt.
I'm just a little child, stripped away
Describing oneself as a vulnerable child, emotionally exposed.
I'm just a little child, you stripped away.
Reiterating the vulnerability of being emotionally exposed.
Something I'll never get back someday.
Reinforcing the irreversibility of the loss.
Who're you, enrage, as I bleed and still you know I'm late
Questioning someone's identity while experiencing pain and delay.
To feel obscene,
Expressing discomfort and unease.
Love to find but from a past,
Desiring love from the past, known but not witnessed.
You've heard but never seen,
Highlighting the disparity between hearing about something and actually seeing it.
You're so scared that I...
Describing someone's fear or apprehension.
Refuse to lay down tonight,
Choosing not to surrender or yield to negativity.
And tolerate your words...
Expressing a limited willingness to tolerate hurtful words.
Stand up for myself if I'm on your knees
Asserting oneself despite a submissive position.
You're finding me pretty enough...
Reiteration of being found attractive despite challenges.
I finally see the light tonight
Gaining insight or understanding, possibly overcoming naivety.
Have I been pathetic enough?
Questioning one's own adequacy or self-worth.
You will feel its hurting tight tonight
Anticipating emotional pain or distress.
And all from this little child
The source of distress is identified as a vulnerable child.
All from a little child, who's finally turned away
Reinforcing the impact of turning away, possibly from a relationship.
All from a little child, who's finally turned away
Repeating the idea of a child turning away, emphasizing the significance.
Drift away...
Using imagery to convey a gradual departure or distancing.
Come back some day...
Expressing a hope or possibility of returning in the future.
