Just a Wall
Shattered Reflections: Unveiling the Depths of 'Just a Wall'
Lyrics
Now I see it in your eyes said what am I in for I’m starting to forget just what did I live for
Contemplation of life's purpose and a sense of forgetfulness about it.
So
Transition to a new thought or perspective.
See him now awake and talking
Observation of someone awake and talking.
He’s not there no, he’s not there at all Bang a fist against the mirror
The person being observed is mentally absent; banging a fist against the mirror metaphorically emphasizes this.
Now it’s just, now it’s just a wall

(I do believe my eyes deceive me, Right before he was breathing)
A reflection on the deceptive nature of one's perception, recalling a moment when the person was alive.
Dark riders run the street and all around you
Mentions the presence of ominous or negative forces in the environment.
Give thanks to death herself for how she found you
Expressing gratitude to death for finding or impacting the individual in some way.
So
Transition to a new thought or perspective.
See him now awake and talking

He’s not there no, he’s not there at all Bang a fist against the mirror

Now it’s just, now it’s just a wall
