Elena
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling Life's Intricacies in Chastity Belt's 'Elena'
Lyrics
When you
Reflecting on a past time when
Were young (nothing ever turns out like)
During youth, things didn't turn out as expected
(Nothing ever turns out)
Repeated disappointment or unmet expectations
He did (like you think)
Someone acted in a manner different from perceived
Just enough (you live within limits in life)
Just enough effort to live within limitations
(Make meaning out of)
Finding meaning within circumstances
(Circumstance) to keep your hopes up
Finding hope despite circumstances
Changed all your plans to line up with his
Altering one's plans to align with his
(In the dark, can you tell what you're made of?) Hanging on
Questioning self-awareness in challenging times
(Are you whole or pieces separated?) To every
Clutching onto every word he utters
(Do you need desire to feel?) Word he says
Wondering if desire is necessary for feeling
Measured your self worth
Evaluating one's value based on his judgments
(Nothing ever turns out like)
Reiterating disappointment or unmet expectations
(Nothing ever turns out like)
Repeated disappointment or unmet expectations
By his judgments (you think)
Measuring worth based on his opinions
(Commit to drift but don't look down)
Committing to drift without looking down
(Your web will only hold you)
Realizing limitations of one's support system
You fell for it (for so long)
Falling into a trap or deception for a prolonged period
His only intrigue was the lack of him
His intrigue was solely due to his absence or lack
(In the dark, can you tell what you're made of?) Fill in
Questioning self-awareness in challenging times
(Are you whole or thread separated?) The blanks with
Considering if one feels whole or fragmented
(Over time, the space between them grows) what you see fit
Over time, gaps between perspectives widen
You fell (fall through)
Falling into a trap or deception
For it (fall through)
-You fell (fall through
-For it (fall through)
-You fell (fall)
Falling
