No One Can
Unveiling Shadows: A Journey of Self-Discovery in Brian Bulger's 'No One Can'
Lyrics
And she opened the blackout curtains
She opened the blackout curtains, symbolizing an act of revealing or exposing something hidden or obscured.
And bathed in the light
She bathed in the light, suggesting a metaphorical cleansing or embracing of truth and clarity.
She had a dozen messages
She had a dozen messages, indicating a significant amount of communication or inquiries from others.
Like, "are you alright?"
Messages like "are you alright?" imply concerns about her well-being, possibly reflecting a challenging situation.
Like a curse on her head, she uttered to herself
The curse on her head and self-uttered tune suggest internal struggles and the persistence of childhood memories.
Some tune she whispered in her room as a kid, every second
Whispering a tune from childhood every second in her room implies a constant connection to the past and its influence on her present.
And in her heart of hearts, her ghost of ghosts, she knew every word like a friend
Knowing every word of the whispered tune in her heart signifies a deep, personal familiarity and comfort.
And she says
The repeated phrase "And she says" introduces her spoken thoughts or feelings.
"No one can, no one can know
"No one can, no one can know, Know me" expresses a desire for privacy and the difficulty of truly understanding her.
Know me"
-She never wakes up with a sound
Describing how she wakes up suggests a unique pattern and a reliance on internal cues rather than external stimuli.
Only with her body clock
-She never wakes up with a sound
-Only when her mind rocks back and forth
-Some vision in her head that she never wanted
The unwanted vision in her head may represent intrusive thoughts or memories that disturb her.
Vision in her head that she never asked for
-And she's shaking, she's shaking now
Her shaking and waking the man in the bed could signify emotional turmoil affecting her and those close to her.
She's shaking wake the man in the bed
-She's shaking for the man in the bed with her
-And she says
Reiteration of "No one can, no one can know, Know me" emphasizes the theme of isolation and the challenge of being truly understood.
"No one can, no one can know
-Know me"
