Fear
Embracing Shadows: Confronting the Fear of Solitude in Black Label Society's Anthem
Lyrics
The sun that's set on our souls
The feeling of darkness and despair that has engulfed our inner selves.
All that's lost as the day is old
All that is lost as time progresses, highlighting the inevitable passage of time and its consequences.
When the truth becomes one big lie
The realization that what was believed to be true is now revealed as a significant falsehood.
So low you never know when you're high
An emotional state so low that one is unaware of when they are experiencing highs, suggesting a profound sense of detachment or numbness.
And you thought that you knew it all
An assertion that one thought they had complete understanding, only to confront the reality of their ignorance.
Think again, in the end we all fall
An acknowledgment that, ultimately, everyone faces a downfall or failure.
When the truth becomes one big lie
A repetition of the theme, emphasizing the impact when truth is distorted into a large falsehood.
So low you never know when you're high
Reiteration of a state of emotional low where highs are indiscernible.
Oh, back home
A return to the concept of home, suggesting a desire to go back to a familiar and comforting place.
Oh, back home
A repetition of the longing for home, emphasizing its significance.
Oh, the fear of being alone
The anxiety and dread associated with the fear of being alone.
The floors that rattle and shake through my head
The unsettling and noisy thoughts that persistently occupy the mind.
The doors that slam that wake me in bed
The disturbances that disrupt peace, possibly symbolic of life's challenges.
When the truth becomes one big lie
A repetition of the theme of truth transforming into a significant lie, leading to emotional lows.
So low you never know when you're high
Reiteration of the emotional state where highs and lows blur.
Oh, back home
A return to the concept of returning home, emphasizing its importance.
Oh, back home
Emphasizing the desire to go back to a familiar and comforting place.
Oh, the fear of being alone
The persistent fear and anxiety associated with being alone.
Oh, the fear of being alone
A repetition of the fear of solitude, underscoring its impact.
Oh, the fear of being alone
Reiteration of the profound fear and discomfort linked to solitude.
Oh, the fear of being alone
Emphasizing the ongoing fear and unease associated with loneliness.
Oh, the fear of being alone
Continued expression of the intense fear and emotional distress connected to being alone.
