Uncomfortable, Numb
Breaking Free: Navigating the Shadows of Emotional Struggle
Lyrics
Can't show the terror on the outside
Expressing inability to display the inner fear externally.
Can't see the scars on a damaged brain
Highlighting the invisible scars on a damaged mind.
And after you've beat out all my pride
After overcoming pride, suggesting a recurring pattern of mistreatment.
You swear this won't happen again
A promise to prevent a repeat of the mistreatment.
But now my timidness still holds strong
Current shyness still influenced by past experiences.
And for so long, I still resent your name
Long-lasting resentment towards a person whose name is mentioned.
Breathe, it's almost over
Encouraging oneself to breathe during a challenging situation.
You can feel the heat of the bite as you're moving closer
Sensing the intensity of a threat as it approaches.
I was falling asleep and the panic went wild, you were so angry, I was only a child
Recalling a traumatic experience where anger was directed at a vulnerable child.
Pull the covers up to cover my head, I'm beggin for sleep
Seeking refuge under covers while longing for sleep to escape reality.
While I still wept, it was coming to an end
Despite weeping, recognizing the conclusion of the distressing situation.
And I can feel the pressure breaking emerging with iron on my lips
Sensing pressure lifting, accompanied by a metallic taste, possibly symbolic of relief.
The bitterness I miss, a bold attempt to say no more
Nostalgia for the bitterness as an attempt to say 'no more.'
Say no more to you
Deciding to say 'no more' to the person causing pain.
And I don't think that I can be
Expressing doubt about the ability to coexist.
Alone with you
Refusing to be alone with the person causing distress.
And I don't think that I can be alone
Reiterating discomfort with solitude in the presence of the mentioned person.
I was falling asleep and the panic went wild, you were so angry, I was only a child
Repeating a traumatic experience of childhood anger.
Pull the covers up to cover my head
Returning to seeking refuge under covers during distress.
I'm beggin for sleep again
Pleading for the relief of sleep once again.
And I see your face in all the angry men that still surround me
Seeing the face of the tormentor in others who share similar anger.
So I still wept, it was coming to an end
Despite weeping, acknowledging the conclusion of a distressing situation.
And I can feel the pressure breaking emerging with iron on my lips
Feeling the release of pressure with a metallic taste on the lips.
The bitterness, I miss a bold attempt to say no more
Expressing a longing for the past bitterness as a firm refusal.
Say no more to you, and I don't think that I can be
Reiterating the decision to say 'no more' to the person causing pain.
Alone with you
Expressing discomfort with the idea of being alone with the person.
I don't think that I can be alone
Reiterating discomfort with solitude in the presence of the mentioned person.
