In My Head
Haunted by Shadows: Beyond Unbroken's Eerie Symphony
Lyrics
Every day in the nightmare you're killing me
Feeling overwhelmed or tormented daily by a distressing situation or person.
Every night when I feel like you're in my head
Sensation of someone’s persistent presence in one's thoughts and mind, particularly during the night.
Waking up I can feel you controlling me
Upon waking up, sensing an external force manipulating or influencing one's actions.
Will you let go? Will you let go?
Questioning whether this influence or control will cease.
Every night when I think that you're losing me
Perception that the person or situation causing distress might be losing their grip or connection.
Every night when I wake up still in my head
Despite sleeping, the feeling of the distressing presence continues in the mind.
Waking up I can feel you controlling me
Feeling controlled upon waking, emphasizing the struggle to break free.
Will you let go? I can't let go
Expressing the difficulty or inability to release oneself from this influence.
I can feel you running
Sensing the force or presence advancing or chasing after.
Take me underneath your wing
Desiring protection or guidance from this dominating force or person.
Your red lips and black dress
Describing physical attributes of the dominant figure, associating them with an intense night.
All of the night, all of the night, tonight
Repetition emphasizing the duration and intensity of the experience.
You paint a picture of my dread
Creating a vivid representation or depiction of fear and anxiety.
I feel alive when I know I'm dead
Feeling a sense of vitality despite being in a distressing situation.
Staring blankly back again
Looking back with a vacant or empty expression, possibly indicating a state of dissociation or detachment.
All in my head, yeah
Emphasizing that the distressing situation exists solely within the mind.
All in my head, yeah
Reiteration of the concept that the distress is internal rather than external.
It's kinda funny you think you're the only one
Highlighting the misconception of being the only one experiencing such torment.
That knows the taste of my tongue
Implies an intimate knowledge shared only by a specific person.
Your plastic smile melts away with the sun
Symbolism suggesting a facade or false appearance disintegrating.
Melts away with the sun
Reinforcing the idea of a false or temporary persona fading away.
I can feel you running
Similar to line 9, feeling pursued or chased by the dominating presence.
Take me underneath your wing
Seeking shelter or protection under the control of the dominating figure.
Your red lips and black dress
Reiteration of physical attributes of the dominant figure during intense nights.
All of the night, all of the night, tonight
Repetition emphasizing the duration and intensity of the experience.
You paint a picture of my dread
Recreating a vivid representation or depiction of fear and anxiety.
I feel alive when I know I'm dead
Feeling a sense of vitality despite being in a distressing situation.
Staring blankly back again
Looking back with a vacant or empty expression, possibly indicating a state of dissociation or detachment.
All in my head, yeah
Emphasizing that the distressing situation exists solely within the mind.
All in my head, yeah
Reiteration of the concept that the distress is internal rather than external.
Every day in the nightmare you're killing me
Repeats the theme of being tormented daily within a distressing situation or by a person.
Every night when I feel like you're in my head
Reiteration of the sensation of a persistent presence intruding into thoughts at night.
Waking up I can feel you controlling me
Upon awakening, feeling the external force's control or influence.
Will you let go? Will you let go?
Questioning if this control or influence will cease.
