Drowning in Darkness
Drowning in Darkness: A Melancholic Journey Through Loss and Longing
Lyrics
Like a fallen leaf my life turns light to grey
Expressing a sense of life becoming dull and colorless.
And the golden rays of daylight fade away
Describing the fading of positive aspects represented by "golden rays of daylight."
Nothing left I wouldn't give for one more day
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice everything for more time.
For one second I could hope that you might stay
Yearning for a moment of hope or connection.
I'm not getting on
Resistance to moving forward or accepting the situation.
You kept me strong
Acknowledging the strength provided by someone.
Every single day I die
Highlighting the emotional pain experienced daily.
I'm drowning in darkness
Expressing a deep sense of being overwhelmed by darkness.
Forever
Indicating a perpetual state of forsakenness or abandonment.
Forsaken behind these eyes
Referring to inner struggles represented as "demons of nightfall."
The demons of nightfall
Emphasizing a prolonged experience of awakening to difficulties.
Forever
Describing the imminent loss of vitality or hope.
Awaken behind these eyes
Highlighting the persistence of pain and struggle.
And soon they will harvest
Suggesting the impending extinguishing of life's vitality.
The spark of life behind these eyes
Symbolizing the dwindling essence of life within.
You will break me apart
Expressing vulnerability and a sense of breaking apart.
I am lost in the dark
Conveying a feeling of being lost in the metaphorical darkness.
In the whisper of the night you're still with me
Finding comfort and connection in memories during the night.
In the shades of morning light you're all I see
Seeing the departed one in the positive light of morning.
And the rage within my tears won't find a way
Expressing emotional turmoil that persists despite efforts.
I can't help but search for hope that you might stay
Continued search for hope and connection despite challenges.
I'm not getting on
Resistance to moving forward or accepting the situation (repeated).
You kept me strong
Acknowledging the strength provided by someone (repeated).
Every single day I die
Highlighting the emotional pain experienced daily (repeated).
I'm drowning in darkness…
Reiterating the feeling of being overwhelmed by darkness.
Not long ago, you told me to be strong for you
Recalling advice to be strong, now contrasted with a sense of emptiness.
But since you're gone, there's nothing to hold on
Expressing the difficulty of holding on after the departure of the source of strength.
I'm drowning in darkness
Reiterating the deep sense of being overwhelmed by darkness (repeated).
Behind these eyes
Highlighting the continued struggle and emotional pain.
You will break me apart
Reiterating vulnerability and a sense of breaking apart (repeated).
I am lost in the dark
Conveying a feeling of being lost in the metaphorical darkness (repeated).
Like a fallen leaf my life turns light to grey
Repeating the metaphor of life turning dull and colorless.
And the golden rays of daylight fade away
Reiterating the fading of positive aspects represented by "golden rays of daylight."
