I
Journey of Shadows: Unveiling Inner Turmoil in Coal Chamber's 'I'
Lyrics
Let down through the breakthrough
Moving forward while craving the darkness beneath.
I travel as I hunger for the darkness below me
Expressing a desire for the light above, seeking salvation for the inner self.
When I'm praying for the light above
Expressing a struggle for inner peace and redemption.
To save this soul inside me
Contemplating whether to take certain actions, expressing uncertainty.
Should I? Would I? Could I?
Questioning one's ability and willingness to do something.
Outcast from my own kind never knowing
Feeling rejected or alienated from one's own kind without understanding why.
Soaring through my own mind never knowing
Exploring one's thoughts and ideas without clear direction or understanding.
How could they live with what their doing
Questioning the morality of others' actions and how they cope with them.
Twist of my spine
Metaphorically expressing internal turmoil and pain.
Oh god fuck
An exclamation, possibly expressing frustration, pain, or anger towards a higher power.
I don't get it
Expressing confusion or frustration about a situation.
Breathe with me
Inviting someone to share a moment of respiration or connection.
Just breathe with me
Reiterating the invitation to share a moment of breathing or unity.
It's up to me as I hunger
Embracing personal responsibility and agency while experiencing a hunger for something.
Lay slow and still as I wonder
Remaining still and contemplative while pondering.
Pray for darkness down in this hollow
Praying for a dark or challenging experience in a metaphorical hollow.
But I try to grope
Attempting to grasp or understand.
It's up to me as I sleep again
Emphasizing personal responsibility during a state of rest or vulnerability.
My body lays down as I holler
Expressing vocal distress or outcry during sleep or vulnerability.
It's all inside but I confess in me
Confessing that everything is internalized, possibly referring to personal struggles.
I like me
Expressing a positive self-affirmation.
