Getting Dark
Embracing Shadows: Casey Sabol's Poignant Reflection on Life's Unforgiving Realities
Lyrics
Wasted time bears a consequence that I
Wasted time carries consequences that are difficult to accept as my own.
Just can’t believe is mine
Expressing disbelief about the consequences, perhaps a realization of their gravity.
Thought I’d never die
Contemplating mortality and the realization that death is inevitable.
Took it all so, so for granted
Took everything for granted, implying a lack of appreciation for what was had.
Haunted by every lie that I try to justify
Haunted by lies, struggling to justify them, and feeling the weight of their impact.
And I just cant abide that we only got one life
Expressing regret for the limited time in life and the urgency to live authentically.
Then we perish from the planet
Acknowledging the transient nature of life on Earth.
When it’s getting dark is when you see
Realization that true understanding comes when facing difficulties or challenges.
The price of each vice comes so suddenly
Conveying that the consequences of indulging in vices become apparent unexpectedly.
And learning who you really are
Learning about one's true self requires sacrifice and enduring hardships.
Takes sacrifice and getting scarred
Emphasizing that self-discovery often involves enduring pain and scars.
Nothing’s free
Highlighting that valuable things in life come at a cost.
The right thing means fighting so stubbornly
Doing the right thing involves persistent and tenacious effort.
Remember that you’re never far
Reminding that despite challenges, one is not too far from redemption.
From the day it all goes dark
Referring to the inevitable moment when everything turns dark or ends.
One regret, never met with the ghost of future past
Expressing regret for not engaging with the possibilities of the future.
‘Cause if I had the chance I’d remove the mask
If given a chance, the desire to confront one's true self without masks.
And jump bare into the rapids
Willingness to face challenges head-on, even if it means entering turbulent situations.
But no lament can revive all the years that I misspent
No amount of mourning can bring back misspent years.
And now I feel the chill of the fading will
Feeling the cold reality of lost opportunities and vanishing determination.
I should’ve cherished while I had it
Regret for not appreciating something until it's gone.
When it’s getting dark is when you see
Reiteration that understanding deepens in challenging times.
The price of each vice comes so suddenly
Highlighting the unexpected consequences of indulging in vices.
And learning who you really are
Reaffirmation that self-discovery requires sacrifice and enduring scars.
Takes sacrifice and getting scarred
Emphasizing that personal growth comes at a cost.
Nothing’s free
Reiteration that doing the right thing requires persistent effort.
The right thing means fighting so stubbornly
Stressing the need to fight stubbornly for what is right.
Remember that you’re never far
Reminder that redemption is never too far away.
From the day it all goes dark
Reiteration of the inevitable darkness that marks the end of everything.
When it’s getting dark is when you see
Restating the idea that understanding deepens when facing challenges.
The price of each vice comes so suddenly
Reemphasizing the unforeseen consequences of indulging in vices.
And learning who you really are
Reaffirmation that self-discovery involves sacrifice and enduring scars.
Takes sacrifice and getting scarred
Emphasizing that personal growth comes at a cost.
Nothing’s free
Reiteration that doing the right thing requires persistent effort.
The right thing means fighting so stubbornly
Stressing the need to fight stubbornly for what is right.
Remember that you’re never far
Reminder that redemption is never too far away.
From the day it all goes dark
Reiteration of the inevitable darkness that marks the end of everything.
