Black Tide
Drowning in Despair: Unveiling the Black Tide
Lyrics
White blankets choking me
Feeling overwhelmed, suffocated, or oppressed.
Like a filthy swamp
Comparing the situation to a polluted and unpleasant environment.
Infested by memories
Referencing the invasion of unsettling memories.
This weight
The emotional burden or pressure experienced.
Bringing me down
Expressing the weight as a source of emotional descent.
This empty hole through my own chest
Describing a void or emptiness within oneself.
An open wound where nothing flows
Portraying a metaphorical wound that does not heal.
Devours every light left
Consuming and extinguishing any remaining positivity.
Pleasing me with despair
Finding comfort or satisfaction in misery.
Oh no
An exclamation acknowledging the impending fall.
I'll Fall into myself too
Anticipating a self-destructive descent.
These faces watch me greedily
Feeling observed or judged by others.
Like hyenas ready to feast
Comparing onlookers to scavengers waiting to exploit weakness.
Red doors of thorns
Symbolizing obstacles and pain on the path to destruction.
A one way path to self destruct
Describing a one-way journey towards self-ruin.
So pray for me
Seeking support or assistance through prayer.
And I will never face my own self
Expressing an aversion to confronting one's true self.
I can't deny
Acknowledging an inability to deny certain realities.
That all I care about will crush into pieces
Fearing the inevitable destruction of cherished things.
Empty hole through my own chest
Reiterating the emptiness and hollowness within.
An open wound where nothing flows
Repeating the imagery of an unhealing emotional wound.
Devours every light left
Continuing the theme of extinguishing any remaining light.
Pleasing me with despair
Finding satisfaction or acceptance in despair.
Oh no
An exclamation indicating an acknowledgment of impending doom.
I'll Fall into myself too
Repeating the anticipation of a self-destructive fall.
Because I can't float on this black tide
Expressing an inability to overcome a pervasive sense of darkness.
Because I can't float on this black tide
-Because I can't float on this black tide
-Because I can't float on this black tide
-The sickle swinging
Introducing a symbol of impending danger or death.
It's still right here hanging above me
Describing a persistent threat looming overhead.
Crushing my lungs I can't stop it
Feeling the oppressive weight affecting the ability to breathe.
They're running out of me
Experiencing a loss or depletion of something vital.
I'll paint the room red
Symbolic act of intensifying the emotional atmosphere.
Covering the walls with useless hopes
Covering surroundings with futile aspirations or wishes.
I see decision I can't take
Seeing choices but feeling incapable of making decisions.
I see futures that fade away
Witnessing potential futures fading away.
Because I can't float on this black tide
Reiterating the inability to overcome the pervasive darkness.
Because I can't float on this black tide
-Because I can't float on this black tide
-Because I can't float on this black tide
-The sickle swinging
Repeating the symbol of impending danger or death.
it's still right here hanging above me
Emphasizing the continuous presence of the looming threat.
Crushing my lungs I can't stop it
Reiterating the impact of the oppressive weight on breathing.
they're running out of me
Continued depletion or loss of something vital.
No curtain to separate me
Expressing a lack of barriers or protection from unmade choices.
From choices I've not made
Feeling exposed and vulnerable to unmade decisions.
The sickle swinging
Repeating the symbol of impending danger or death.
it's still right here hanging above me
Reiterating the continuous presence of the looming threat.
Crushing my lungs I can't stop it
Reiterating the impact of the oppressive weight on breathing.

No curtain to separate me
Repeating the feeling of exposure and vulnerability.
From choices I've not made
Reiterating the vulnerability to choices not yet made.
