Lyrics

Reality rose like the sun,

Reality is emerging like the sun.

and still I slept through it.

Despite reality's emergence, the speaker remains oblivious or indifferent.

I can always witness it another morning.

The speaker can witness reality on another morning, suggesting a recurring pattern.

The thoughts like these

These thoughts are deeply rooted in procrastination.

are cemented in procrastination.

Procrastination solidifies these thoughts.

Now this part of 'she' is liquid form somewhere on the floor,

A part of someone ('she') is in a liquid form, perhaps emotionally distressed.

as a self-defiant need for a cure.

This liquid state represents a defiant need for a cure.

Diagnosed to emerge and roam from roads as thick as foam.

Diagnosed to emerge from challenging situations and navigate difficult paths.

You wish to burn the candles, disquiet.

A desire to confront disturbances or discomfort (burn the candles) persists.

Another day with the shades pulled down,

Remaining in seclusion, avoiding external influences.

until the swallow returns her to sleep.

Waiting until tranquility returns before facing reality.

Her father knocks on the silent door

A paternal figure attempts to communicate with the silent 'she.'

while this part of 'she' has become

This part of 'she' has become a source of intense shame.

an infernal shame.

The shame is pronounced and burdensome.

Louder than we expect

The expected loudness exceeds that of silent candles, suggesting a surprising revelation.

from such silent candles

Secrets are no longer concealed, becoming evident.

not so secret anymore.

Previously hidden aspects are now exposed.

Now the eyes of my eyes have opened.

The speaker's inner vision has awakened to reality.

Now the eyes of my ears cling dear.

The speaker values what they see and hear.

Never let the swallow return you back to sleep.

Urging not to return to a state of ignorance or avoidance.

The smell of wounds have left you bug-bitten here, and again,

Physical and emotional wounds have left an impact.

I know reality shall rise tomorrow.

Awareness that reality will arise again tomorrow.

This time I hope to be awake.

The speaker hopes to be awake and attentive this time.

I canʼt postpone another morning.

A commitment not to delay facing reality on another morning.

This time I hope to be awake.

A reiterated hope to be awake and alert.

Never let the swallow return you to sleep.

A final reminder not to allow oneself to return to a state of obliviousness or avoidance.
