There Was a Flood
Rising Above Pain: Bleeding Through's Resilient Message
Lyrics
Say goodnight young dagger have the years been kind to you?
Say goodnight young dagger, questioning the impact of time on one's life.
Or have they left you vacant with so much left to prove
Reflecting on whether experiences have left a person feeling empty with unfulfilled goals.
It should be none of your concern but the pain has been lifted away
Acknowledging that personal pain, though not the concern of others, has been lifted.
Fatally eternally
Describing the lifted pain as fatal and eternal.
Overcome and overthrow
Expressing determination to overcome and overthrow challenges.
The blood that swelled your tainted lips now drip to the floor
Visualizing blood, tainted lips, and its symbolic significance dripping to the floor.
So dry your eyes before you cry another river
Advising to dry one's eyes before expressing more sorrow.
And breath-by-breath I'll rise to keep your flood away from me
Promising to rise breath by breath to protect oneself from an emotional flood.
I'll dam your flood away from me
Determining to resist and divert the flood of emotions away, driven by spite.
Only out of spite I must
Stating the necessity of discarding someone, likely due to negative influence.
I will throw you away
Expressing the commitment to reject and fight against the grip of another's influence.
Always I'll fight off your grip on my existence
Pledging constant resistance against the impact of the person on one's existence.
I won't feel sorry for this spit in the eye
Refusing to feel remorse for standing up against adversity, using defiance.
Sending seizures through your frozen veins
Describing the impact of resistance, sending seizures through the opponent's veins.
There is no giving into you
Declaring a steadfast refusal to give in to the negative influence or pressure.
It took a lifetime to forget your name
Highlighting the time it took to forget the negative influence represented by a name.
I swallowed everything you said
Admitting the past acceptance of negative words, likely from the influencing person.
Exhale the poison the dwells within your soul
Releasing the internal toxicity and exhaling the negativity within one's soul.
Stand up for myself
Asserting independence and self-empowerment against the emotional drowning.
Drown by yourself
Encouraging the other person to face their own emotional struggles without assistance.
