Lyrics
I am frightened for the day
I feel anxious about the future.
When all my rage decides to stay
Anticipating a time when my anger becomes permanent.
Under the violet troubled skies
Expressing distress under troubled, violet-colored skies.
I sit and fuss about days gone by
Reflecting on and worrying about past days.
Focus all the pain
Channeling pain to bring about personal transformation.
Let the shame transform your name
Encouraging the acceptance and transformation of shame.
I'm only gentle in the comfort of my room
Being gentle only in the safety of a personal space.
Where I tell my secrets to
Confiding secrets in a private place.
And all the while I'm tending to my child
Maintaining care for one's inner child.
Safe inside the womb
Feeling secure inside one's own world.
And I bloom
Growing and blossoming despite challenges.
I get jealous in the night
Experiencing jealousy in the darkness.
Of how the moon holds you in her light
Comparing oneself to the moon's embrace of a loved one.
When I look into the mirror what do I see?
Reflecting on self-perception in the mirror.
An amalgamation of who I am and what you left in me
Being a combination of personal identity and influences from others.
I'll make you fade away
Expressing a desire to make someone's presence fade away.
In the dark we all decay
Acknowledging the inevitability of decay in the dark.
come what may
Accepting whatever comes, regardless of circumstances.
I'm only gentle in the comfort of my room
Being gentle only in the safety of a personal space (repeated).
Where I tell my secrets to
Confiding secrets in a private place (repeated).
And every night I'm tending to the child
Caring for the inner child every night.
As they're clawing out the womb
Nurturing the child despite challenges (repeated).
Too soon
Expressing concern that growth might happen too quickly.
And I don't need a reason
Not needing a specific reason to express intense emotions.
To scream and cry like a child
Embracing childlike behavior, possibly as a release.
It's past my bedtime and you're not leaving
Being past a metaphorical bedtime, but not ready to move on.
So stow me away for a while
Desiring to be set aside or hidden for a while.
Woah
Expressing intense emotion, possibly in a chorus or climax.
Woah
Repeating an intense emotional expression.
Woah
Continuing the emotional expression (repeated).
