Into the Black
Rescuing Emotions: Escaping the Abyss of Despair
Lyrics
I walk around in circles
I engage in repetitive, aimless actions.
Just like a dog with vertigo
Comparing myself to a disoriented dog, I lack direction.
As I go insane
I experience a descent into madness.
The sun shines all around me
The world is bright and positive around me.
On the world and everybody
Despite the positive surroundings, I am alone in the rain.
With somebody while I'm in the rain
Observing others with companionship while I'm isolated.
'Cause it's you that can break me
You have the power to emotionally affect and weaken me.
And keep me on my back
You can keep me vulnerable and exposed.
'Cause it's you that can save me
You have the ability to rescue me from despair.
From falling into the black
Referring to a state of deep emotional darkness or despair.
The streetlights flash in tempo
Streetlights synchronize with my pounding heart.
With my heart that's poundin' although I
Despite not having emotions, my heart seems active.
Haven't had a heart for days
Acknowledging a lack of genuine emotions for days.
If I could just be honest
An urge to be truthful and open about feelings.
Get my feelings off my chest and on your mind
Expressing a desire to share feelings with someone special.
I could find the way
Suggesting that openness can lead to a solution.
'Cause it's you that can break me
You have the ability to emotionally weaken me.
And keep me on my back
You can keep me in a vulnerable state.
'Cause it's you that can save me
You can rescue me from the emotional abyss.
From falling into the black...black
Reiteration of the reference to emotional darkness or despair.
(The black...fallin' into the black)
Repeating the concept of falling into emotional darkness.
Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right
Seeking reassurance and comfort from someone.
And I'll tell you that everything's gonna be all right
Reciprocal assurance that everything will be alright.
'Cause it's you that can break me
You have the power to emotionally affect and weaken me.
And keep me on my back
You can keep me vulnerable and exposed.
'Cause it's you that can save me
You have the ability to rescue me from despair.
From falling into the black
Reiteration of the reference to emotional darkness or despair.
'Cause it's you that can break me
You have the ability to emotionally weaken me.
And keep me on my back
You can keep me in a vulnerable state.
'Cause it's you that can save me
You can rescue me from the emotional abyss.
From falling into the black...black
Reiteration of the reference to emotional darkness or despair.
(Black...fallin' into the black)
Repeating the concept of falling into emotional darkness.
