In the Ruins of Light
Embracing Shadows: Navigating Despair in 'In the Ruins of Light'
Lyrics
The mind's worn thin, the heart is weak
The mind is exhausted, and the heart is vulnerable
Doubt whispered in our ears
Doubt is subtly influencing our thoughts
The claws digging deeper with every step out of character
Challenges are intensifying as we deviate from our usual behavior
We are lost, we are damaged
We feel lost and emotionally wounded
We crumble under this heavy load
We are overwhelmed by a burdensome weight
Perversely we try to stand alone
Despite challenges, we stubbornly attempt to face them alone
But in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind
Amidst adversity, the remnants of our inner selves scatter like ashes
But in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind
Reiteration of the scattering of our souls in the ruins of light
We fail our own demands, the grip around the throat
We fall short of our own expectations, feeling a suffocating pressure
While the mirror gloats
Self-reflection brings a sense of mockery from our own reflection
Yearning for some relief, maybe validation
Desire for relief or validation in the face of internal struggles
To hold off the beast
Struggling against an inner beast or challenge
We crumble under this heavy load
We continue to crumble under the weight of challenges
Perversely we try to stand alone
Despite challenges, we persist in trying to stand alone
A scream in silence, denied the helping hand
A silent cry for help is unanswered, facing destruction
Blinded by destruction
Blinded by the consequences of our actions or circumstances
Hopeless in the cage, relenting to the void
Feeling trapped in a hopeless situation, surrendering to emptiness
Cruelty was born, before that day was done
Cruelty exists, perhaps as an inherent part of existence
Crumble under this heavy load
Continued struggle under the weight of challenges
Perversely we try to stand alone
Despite challenges, we persist in trying to stand alone
Still in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind
Even now, in the remnants of hope, our souls disintegrate and scatter
Still in the ruins of light, the ashes of our souls are scattered to the wind
Reiteration of the ongoing dispersal of our souls in the ruins of light
