Solace
Whispers of Solitude: Embracing Loss and Rediscovery
Lyrics
We shiver in the pause between words
We experience a moment of hesitation or uncertainty in our communication.
Abandonment still fresh upon the tips of our tongues
The feeling of being abandoned is still very fresh in our minds and words.
The whispers we've chosen to live and die in will
We have chosen to live and die by certain secrets or confidences, expressed through whispers.
Infect deaf ears with the discordance of deceit
Our chosen confidences spread discord and dishonesty to those who are unwilling to hear.
Why do we scream when there is nothing left to say?
Questioning why we express ourselves passionately when there is no meaningful message left.
Silently acknowledging the solace in loss
Finding comfort in the silence that accompanies loss.
I am content with throwing everything away because I lost myself when I found you
Acceptance of losing everything because personal identity was lost in finding another person.
Carry me back to your bed
A plea to be taken back to a place of intimacy and connection.
My conscience is my coffin and I swear sometimes i'd rather be dead
The speaker's conscience is a burden, and at times, death seems preferable.
Make sure that I still feel, I don't care how much it hurts
Desire to feel something, regardless of the pain it may bring.
I'll always be numb on my side of the earth
Feeling emotionally detached or numb, even across geographical distances.
In the dark I watched the light hit your skin
Observing a loved one in the darkness, hoping to preserve the initial impression.
Hoping that my eyes might never adjust
Desire for the preservation of a particular perception, avoiding reality.
Soft sounds save me from the confines of sleep
Soft sounds provide relief from the constraints of sleep.
Because hearing your voice once was never enough
A desire to hear a loved one's voice repeatedly, never getting enough.
I think i've finally identified the difference
Recognizing a distinction, possibly between a personal hell and a sense of belonging.
I think I live in both my hell and my home
Feeling trapped between personal torment and a place of comfort.
I will forever be a slave to your distance
Being perpetually bound by the emotional distance from a significant other.
Don't let me in
An appeal not to be allowed into the speaker's inner world.
Don't let me go
An appeal not to be let go from the speaker's life.
Carry me back to your bed
A repetition of the plea to be taken back to a place of intimacy.
My conscience is my coffin and I swear sometimes i'd rather be dead
Reiteration that the speaker's conscience feels like a coffin, and death may seem preferable.
Make sure that I still feel, I don't care how much it hurts
Reiterating the desire to feel something, regardless of the pain.
I'll always be numb on my side of the earth
Continued emotional numbness, irrespective of geographical distance.
Don't let me in, don't let me go
A repetition of the appeal not to be let in or let go.
(in this moment)
An unspecified moment that may carry significant emotional weight.
I'd rather die than live without you
An extreme statement expressing the depth of emotional dependence on the other person.
I'd rather die
A reiterated extreme statement, emphasizing the intensity of emotional reliance.
