Black
Shattered Reflections: Unveiling the Darkness in Betrayed by the Bullet's 'Black'
Lyrics
As you glance at yourself in the mirror
Self-reflection in the mirror, acknowledging a sense of disgust.
You know it's disgusted too
Acknowledging that others also find the reflection disgusting.
You burn every bridge as you cross it
Burning bridges as you move forward, possibly damaging relationships.
Maybe even burned a friend or two
Hinting at burning friendships while crossing those bridges.
You've turned into all that you hated
Transformation into something despised; questioning the possibility of forgiveness.
Can you ever be forgiven now
Soul traded to conform to societal norms and gain acceptance.
We know it's your soul that you traded
Acknowledging the sacrifice of one's true self for social acceptance.
Just to fit in with the crowd
Conforming to fit in with the crowd, potentially losing individuality.
Just to fit in with the crowd
Reiteration of the pressure to fit in with societal expectations.
Looking through your eyes
Observing the world through the individual's perspective.
Through the window of your soul
The soul's window reflects damage and destruction.
There's nothing left intact
Complete devastation, nothing remaining untouched.
All I see is black
Visualizing a world consumed by darkness.
All I see is black
Reiteration of a bleak, black perspective on life.
Without a chance your fate is decided
Fatalistic view, implying a predetermined and hopeless fate.
No room for a second round
No chance for redemption or a second chance.
The bell has rung, this is over
Declaring the end of a situation, no possibility of recovery.
What's lost cannot be found
Loss is irreversible, emphasizing the finality of the situation.
Who you were has no faded
The past identity is gone, reduced to ruins.
Only left in shambles now
Deception as a foundation, leading to personal destruction.
Based on lies that you stated
The lies told contribute to the downfall of the individual.
Your fable has been found
The individual's fabricated story has been exposed.
Your fable has been found
Reiteration of the revelation of the individual's false narrative.
As I look into your eyes
Observing another's eyes reveals emptiness and despair.
There's nothing left to find
Nothing positive or redeeming is found within the person.
No shred of decency
No signs of moral integrity or decency remain.
All I see is black
Emphasizing the pervasive darkness in the individual's life.
Looking through your eyes
Revisiting the damaged soul's perspective through the eyes.
Through the window of your soul
The soul's window shows complete destruction.
There's nothing left intact
Nothing remains unharmed or undamaged.
All I see is black
Reiteration of the prevailing darkness in the person's life.
It's all I see (It's all I see)
Emphasizing the all-encompassing nature of the darkness.
It's all I see (It's all I see)
Repetition of the overwhelming blackness in the individual's life.
It's all I see (It's all I see)
Continued emphasis on the pervasive darkness in the person's existence.
It's all I see (It's all I see)
Stressing the all-consuming nature of the darkness within.
All I see is black
Reiteration of the predominant theme of darkness.
Just to fit in with the crowd
Recalling the sacrifice of individuality for social acceptance.
Your fable has been found
Reaffirming the exposure of the individual's false narrative.
As I look into your eyes
Examining another's eyes reveals a lack of positive qualities.
There's nothing left to find
No redeeming qualities or decency found in the person.
No shred of decency
Emphasizing the absence of moral integrity or goodness.
All I see is black
Revisiting the pervasive darkness in the individual's life.
Looking through your eyes
Examining the soul's window reveals complete destruction.
Through the window of your soul
No aspect of the soul remains undamaged or untouched.
Nothing left intact
Reiteration of the prevailing darkness in the person's life.
All I see is black
Final emphasis on the overwhelming theme of darkness.</td
