Bray
Finding Identity Amidst Chaos: Bray's Quest
Lyrics
Can you rip my teeth out and frame my grin?
Expressing a desire for a forced change in expression, asking if someone can alter the outward appearance of happiness.
Could you tear me apart, wipe the blood off my skin?
Possibly seeking a drastic emotional experience and asking if someone can help erase the evidence of pain.
Steal my tongue, make it sing
Requesting the theft of the ability to communicate verbally, transforming it into a musical expression.
Melodies meant for siblings never been
Referring to musical compositions meant for close relationships that have never been created or experienced.
So I cleaned out my closet of all the things I should say
Cleaning out suppressed thoughts or emotions that should be expressed.
I promise I won't forget, but I'll try to get to Bray before nightfall
Committing to remembering but aiming to reach a place called Bray before nightfall.
And the pictures on the walls don't look like me at all
Observing a disconnect between the displayed images and one's own identity.
And my shoes have grown since I walked through the door
Noticing a physical change and growth since entering a particular space.
The face of a doll by the coats in the hall
Describing an inanimate object with a human-like face in an unexpected location.
I can't shake the feeling that I don't belong anymore
Feeling a sense of alienation and not fitting in anymore.
So I bought a rusty compass to help me find my way
Acquiring a tool, a rusty compass, to aid in finding direction in life.
I don't know how it works, but I'll try to get to Bray before nightfall
Reiterating the commitment to reaching Bray, despite uncertainty about the compass.
Can you rip my teeth out and frame my grin?
Repeating the opening lines, emphasizing the desire for a transformed expression.
Can you tear me apart, wipe the blood off my skin?
Reiterating the request for a transformative emotional experience and erasing the evidence of pain.
Steal my tongue, make it sing
Repeating the request to steal the ability to communicate verbally and turn it into a song.
Whatever you want it to be, I'm trying
Expressing openness to becoming whatever someone wants, indicating a willingness to adapt or change.
