Mea culpa
Mea Culpa: Embracing Shadows and Seeking Redemption in the Silence of 4am
Lyrics
It's 4am and I wake up
Waking up at 4 am, possibly disturbed
With a hot sweat and I'm still wearing my makeup
Feeling anxious with sweat, still wearing makeup
I heard something and it's not quite right
Hearing something unsettling
When I reached out and turned on my bedroom light
Turning on the light to investigate
Sometimes I hear things
Experiencing auditory hallucinations
When I'm on the cusp between reality and sleeping
Being in a blurred state between reality and sleep
Like dropping glass marbles on a table top
Describing the unsettling sound like dropping marbles
Body's begging for forgiveness but my brain won't stop
Body seeking forgiveness, but the mind is restless
And I think it's all my fault
Feeling responsible for the situation
And I think it's all my fault
Reiterating self-blame
Hands gripped around the bed frame
Clutching the bed frame in distress
I feel sick and the air's thick
Suffering from sickness and tension in the air
Giving me migraines
Experiencing migraines due to stress
I would've warned you if I could've cause I want it to stop
Expressing a desire to warn others if possible
If I had to measure it in fear it would be right at the top
Intensity of fear reaching the top
Soft skin pulling me closer
Describing a tender connection
Her eyes fixed and it's making me sober
The intensity of someone's fixed gaze making the narrator sober
She told me it's okay and that she's got me there in her arms
Receiving reassurance from someone close
She's the
Interrupted line, possibly incomplete
calm after the storm the fire to keep me warm
Describing someone as a source of comfort after turmoil
I think it's all my fault
Reiterating self-blame
And I think it's all my fault
