Lyrics
the light goes out and leads us nowhere
The absence of guidance leads to a directionless path.
fading voices fail to be heard
People's voices are fading away, unheard or ignored.
emptiness it wraps me up and tears into my skin
Feeling engulfed by emptiness, causing emotional pain.
When darkness doesn't promise light
When there's no assurance of improvement from a dark situation.
and sorrow grips your throat at night
Intense sorrow or distress overwhelming someone at night.
there's gotta be
A hope or belief that change is possible.
something I can change
Seeking something to alter or improve because pretending to be fine is no longer an option.
cause I'm done pretending I'm okay
Rejecting the facade of being okay and acknowledging the need for change.
I must have lost my mind
Feeling disoriented or confused.
putting my faith into borrowed time
Placing trust in a period of time that isn't guaranteed.
told myself I could run
Believing in the possibility of escaping or avoiding something.
away from the setting sun
Trying to escape the inevitability of challenging times.
The setting sun
Reiteration of trying to escape from the difficult circumstances.
the circles underneath my eyes
Physical signs of exhaustion from lack of sleep.
a badge from all my sleepless nights
Sleeplessness represented as a badge of honor or experience.
And at the corner of my
Describing the setting of one's vulnerability and contemplation.
bed
A place of personal vulnerability, possibly the origin of fears or doubts.
the reaper waits to tuck me in
A metaphorical representation of facing mortality or one's fears at night.
the moon is hanging low it's almost blinding
The overwhelming presence of the moon and its brightness.
i'm drowning from the raging sea inside of me
Feeling suffocated by internal turmoil and emotions.
Drown inside of me
A plea for help, feeling overwhelmed by internal struggles.
I must have lost my mind
Reiteration of feeling disoriented or confused.
putting my faith into borrowed time
Continuing to trust in a period of time that's uncertain.
told myself I could run
Believing in the possibility of escaping or avoiding something.
away from the setting sun
Attempting to run away from the inevitable difficult situation.
The setting sun
Reiteration of trying to escape from challenging circumstances.
It's getting cold outside
Feeling emotionally distant or numb to external conditions.
but I haven't felt a thing this whole damn year
A lack of emotional response or sensitivity throughout the year.
I lay in bed and pray the night
Hoping for nighttime to take away from the current situation.
takes me far away from here
Wishing to be removed or distanced from the present reality.
I hear a voice in my head
Hearing conflicting internal thoughts or impulses.
Tells me to sink
Being urged or tempted to succumb to negative thoughts or emotions.
But I’m still learning to swim
Despite temptations or challenges, still in the process of learning to cope or survive.
