Negative Witness
Unveiling Inner Struggles: Insights from 'Negative Witness'
Lyrics
What will I see
Curiosity about what will be observed or experienced
When the hand comes down for me
A contemplation of impending mortality or consequence
Apartments shine
Comparing the appearance of apartments to celebratory sounds
Like victory bells
Depicting the apartments as brightly illuminated
Lit from behind
Uncertainty due to obscured or indirect illumination
It's hard to tell
Difficulty in making accurate judgments due to the lighting
Where I come from
Reflection on personal origins and desires, and the choice of one's destiny
What I want, and where to fall
A quest for personal desires and deciding where to aim or descend
I'll split in two to stay the same
Struggling to maintain a consistent identity despite undergoing change
A spine, an axe, a broken back
Metaphorical references to resilience, pain, and vulnerability
My insides out
A metaphor for exposing vulnerability or inner turmoil
Meet me at the bar,
An invitation to a social setting while striving to seize opportunities
I'm trying to take what I can
Attempting to capitalize on available opportunities
So I can fall
Desiring to collapse or succumb
Would I like it all
Contemplating whether satisfaction would arise from possessing everything
I'll split in two to stay the same
Struggling with identity preservation amid change
A spine, an axe, a broken back
References to fortitude, hardship, and vulnerability
My insides out
Metaphorical description of internal vulnerability
I want to be
Expressing a desire for existence or recognition
Oh, I want to see
Desiring understanding or enlightenment
I'll split in two to stay the same
Striving to maintain identity amid change
A spine, an axe, a broken back
Reinforcing themes of strength, adversity, and vulnerability
My insides out
Metaphorical representation of internal vulnerability
How will I see through when the veil that covers me
Questioning the ability to perceive amid personal challenges or obstacles
Wraps me tighter
Describing an increasing sense of confinement or restriction
Teach me that trick
Desiring to learn coping mechanisms or survival strategies
I'm not sick of it
Expressing weariness but not dissatisfaction with circumstances
Only tired
Feeling fatigued rather than unwell
