Swallowed by the Fear
Embracing Shadows: Confronting Inner Demons in Broken Gate's 'Swallowed by the Fear'
Lyrics
Explosions inside while it’s cold out there
Internal turmoil amidst an external cold environment.
When the lips still locked and
Describing a moment when lips are still sealed or locked.
You’re just waiting with that stare
Waiting with a fixed and intense gaze, possibly in anticipation or anxiety.
You even can feel how
Ability to sense the slowing down of thoughts.
Your thoughts are slow
Despite mental sluggishness, the clock is ticking, time is passing.
But the clock is running
Words remain unspoken or stuck within, emphasizing a sense of restraint.
And the words still there
Words persist even as time moves forward.
Stopped in your throat
The inability to express oneself, a feeling of being choked or blocked.
It’s not badly chewed food
Contrasting the situation with the difficulty of swallowing poorly chewed food.
That water can push down
Highlighting that water can easily pass through, unlike the difficulty of expressing something emotional.
It’s like a piece of stone that
Comparing the emotional burden to a heavy object, wanting to get rid of it.
You want to throw out right now
The urge to release or express something intense and burdensome.
The wind seems to whisper
Suggesting a subtle communication from the environment, possibly implying encouragement or guidance.
The ideas in your ear
The environment influencing thoughts and ideas.
Will you shout it out
The crucial decision to either vocalize thoughts or succumb to fear.
Or be swallowed by the fear?
The looming threat of being overwhelmed by fear if silence prevails.
Swallowed by the fear
The repeated phrase emphasizes the theme of succumbing to fear.
Swallowed by the fear
Reiteration of the fear theme, reinforcing its intensity.
Swallowed by the fear
Continued emphasis on the overwhelming nature of fear.
Swallowed by the fear
The fear dominating and swallowing the individual.
