Running to the Edge
Running to Redemption: A Journey Through Pain
Lyrics
I'd wander the darkest path
Expressing willingness to face difficult paths for someone else's salvation
If it meant you'd be saved
Willingness to sacrifice for the sake of someone's rescue
It's hard to feel whole when
Feeling incomplete when the soul is divided and in turmoil
You're soul's torn in two
Feeling torn apart emotionally, part of oneself feels close to death
One half in the grave
Suggesting a sense of being lost or disconnected
I've built up my walls so high
Having constructed emotional barriers that are challenging to break down
I'm not coming down
Unwillingness to let go of protective walls or defenses
I've been searching for closure but
Seeking closure but uncertain if it's achievable or willing to be found
I'm not sure that it wants to be found
Uncertainty about closure or resolution
Each day I get older and older
Reflecting on the passage of time and accumulating life experiences
And I've lived through a war
Metaphorically lived through intense struggles or conflicts
I'm still soldiering on
Determined to persist despite facing hardships
This life isn't all that I thought
Realizing that life isn't as expected or imagined
I'll find a new place to belong
Intention to find a new sense of belonging or purpose
Each way I turn i'm met with a phantom
Encountering unresolved issues or haunting memories at every turn
Living in chains my past holds me for ransom
Feeling constrained or held back by the past
And I've grown accustomed to
Being accustomed to experiencing pain and emotional distress
The hurt that entails
Acceptance of the pain that comes with certain thoughts or situations
When my mind starts to wonder
When thoughts drift, nightmares or distressing thoughts take over
And the nightmares prevail
Feeling overwhelmed by recurring nightmares or negative thoughts
And I get caught in the web of every detail
Feeling trapped by overthinking every detail of past events
How it should have been me instead
Expressions of survivor's guilt or feeling undeserving of life over others
Each day I get older and older
Continuing to age and accumulate experiences despite hardships
And I've lived through a war
Metaphorically surviving personal battles or internal conflicts
I'm still soldiering on
Determination to persist despite adversity
I might not be sure what I want
Uncertainty about personal desires or goals
I'll find a new place to belong
Intent to find a new place or purpose in life
I'm running to the edge
Running towards a metaphorical edge, perhaps seeking resolution or change
I'll learn to make ammends
Desire to reconcile or make things right
Oh, the thought of you still burns
Strong lingering feelings despite being physically apart
I'll only dream of my return
Only being able to dream about returning, not actually doing so
Each day I get older and older
Continuing to age and gather experiences amid challenges
And I've lived through a war
Persisting and moving forward despite facing personal battles
I'm still soldiering on
Determination to persevere despite life not meeting expectations
This life isn't all that I thought
Realization that life differs from initial expectations
But one day I'll start moving on
Hope for eventual progress or healing from past struggles
