Anybody out There
Yearning Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of Desperation
Lyrics
Something lurking under me
Expressing awareness of something unsettling beneath the surface.
And I don't know it's nature
Uncertainty about the nature of the unsettling presence.
Nor it's name
Lack of knowledge regarding the identity of the unsettling presence.
In my veins
Suggesting that the unsettling feeling is within the speaker's veins.
Still carmine red but cold
Describing blood as still red but lacking warmth, possibly symbolizing emotional coldness.
Withdrawal is not too late
Implying that it might not be too late to withdraw from the unsettling situation.
Is there anybody out there
Pleading for assistance or support from someone or something outside.
To cover me
Seeking someone to provide protection or shelter.
Is there anyone who cares
Questioning if anyone cares about the speaker's well-being.
Is there anybody out there
Reiterating the plea for external help or understanding.
Won't you come
Inviting someone to come and assist.
Cut me clean
Suggesting a desire for a clean break or resolution.
Relight the flame
Metaphorically asking for a renewal of passion or inspiration.
I'm crying out
Expressing a cry for help or attention.
I deign in hope for absolution
Desiring forgiveness or redemption with a sense of hope.
But drag my feet
Acknowledging a reluctance to move forward or change.
Whenever honest faith aspires
Facing hesitation when genuine faith is pursued.
The underground
Referring to an ominous and authentic realm.
It's oh so real and dark
Describing the underground as both real and dark.
I kneel and ache
Expressing a sense of submission or pain.
But doubts awake
Acknowledging doubts that arise despite submission.
This painful need to know
Expressing a compelling need to understand and know.
Makes me wish there was
Wishing for a compromise or middle ground in understanding.
A middle way
Reflecting on the difficulty of finding a balanced solution.
Is there anybody out there
Repeating the call for external support or understanding.
To cover me
Reiterating the need for coverage or protection.
Is there anyone who cares
Asking if anyone genuinely cares about the speaker.
Is there anybody out there
Reemphasizing the plea for external assistance.
Won't you come
Inviting someone to come and help.
Cut me clean
Expressing a desire for a clean and decisive resolution.
Relight the flame
Metaphorically asking for a rekindling of passion or inspiration.
All these worries plaguing me
Acknowledging various anxieties and concerns affecting the speaker.
They're aiming for my soul
Describing the threats or challenges as targeting the speaker's soul.
Nothing really holy remains
Expressing a perception that nothing sacred or pure remains.
Or so it seems
Highlighting a contrast between appearances and reality.
In reality I'm circling out of sight
Suggesting a sense of withdrawal or detachment from others' awareness.
