Belly
Echoes from Within: A Journey through Darkness and Change
Lyrics
I've got my eyes shut
I am intentionally closing my eyes
But I'm not blind
Despite having closed eyes, I am not ignorant or oblivious
To what's going on
Awareness of current events or circumstances
What's going on
Repetition, emphasizing the acknowledgment of what's happening
I've been waiting
Expressing the duration of waiting, possibly with patience
Such a long time
Emphasizing the extended period of waiting
In the dark
Describing a state of lack of light or understanding
In this dark place
Reinforcing the darkness, metaphorical or literal
Past the lips and down the throat
Describing the ingestion of something, possibly negative
Hold me under 'til the fear floats
Suggesting an immersion into fear until it dissipates
This is a message from the belly of the whale
Metaphorical communication from a difficult or confined situation
These are the voices I try to silence
The internal struggles or conflicting thoughts that are suppressed
It's dark in here
Reiterating the lack of light and a sense of isolation
And I'm so cold
Expressing emotional coldness or detachment
This is graffiti from inside of my brain
Symbolic representation of thoughts or emotions within the mind
This is the writing on the wall
Acknowledging visible signs or evidence of inner struggles
Among the bones, down in the belly
Describing a deep, hidden, and possibly uncomfortable place
All this will change
A hint or hope for a transformation or positive change
All those morsels
Referring to consumed experiences or challenges
You've been forcing down
Highlighting persistence in facing difficulties
We never went away
Asserting the enduring presence of unresolved issues
We never went away
Reaffirming the persistence of underlying problems
