Divide
Shattered Bonds: Navigating the Abyss of Betrayal in 'Divide'
Lyrics
Used to think I was bulletproof
Thought I was invincible or impervious
Turns out you just gaslit me up
Realized you manipulated or deceived me
I didn't know what to do
Felt lost and uncertain
So I broke the chains
Decided to break free from something
Now shrouded in doubt and crippled by pain
Now filled with uncertainty and overwhelmed by emotional distress
And I ask again
Repeated question about the next step or direction
Where do we go from here
Asking where the relationship or situation should progress
Shrouded in doubt and crippled by fear
Feeling uncertain and afraid
Soaked in blood, tainted love
Immersed in pain and corrupted affection
This scar will remain, from these unholy chains
The enduring mark from past hurtful experiences
What you'll see is my blotted face
What you'll notice is my damaged appearance
On the picture that's the family portrait
Referring to a family photo where imperfections are evident
And I know, it won't change
Realization that things won't alter
And the scar remains
The enduring symbol of past pain or trauma
You look but you do not see
You observe but fail to truly perceive or understand
You don't see
Repeated assertion of your lack of understanding
You've worn me down, down to the bone
You've exhausted me completely
Say goodbye to the man that you knew
Bidding farewell to the person I used to be
Now shrouded in doubt by the whispering in my ear
Now filled with doubt due to negative influences
And I ask again
Reiterating the query about the next steps
Where do we go from here
Continued uncertainty and fear
Shrouded in doubt and crippled by fear
Feeling overwhelmed by pain and corrupted affection
Soaked in blood, tainted love
Reiteration of being soaked in pain and tainted love
This scar will remain, from these unholy chains
The lasting effect of past negative experiences
What you'll see is my blotted face
Description of the visible impact of distress
On the picture that's the family portrait
Reference to a family photo with visible distress or imperfections
And I know, it won't change
Acknowledgment that circumstances won't change
And we all succumb
We all give in or yield
To The
Transition to
Great Divide
The significant division or separation
You go from one to another
Moving from one situation to another
Turned me to stone
You made me emotionally numb or unfeeling
Those easy to manipulate
Easily controlled or influenced individuals
Like Medusa's head, you're full of darkness
Comparing someone to a dark, manipulating figure from mythology
My faith you did disown
You abandoned or rejected my beliefs
And just turned me to stone
Metaphorically turned me emotionless or unresponsive
Soaked in blood, tainted love
Reiteration of being soaked in pain and corrupted affection
This scar will remain, from these unholy chains
The enduring effect of past negative experiences
What you'll see is my blotted face
Description of the visible impact of distress
On the picture that's the family portrait
Reference to a family photo with visible distress or imperfections
And I know, it won't change
Acknowledgment that circumstances won't change
