The Child Inside
Unveiling Shadows: The Hidden Depths Within
Lyrics
There is darkness and death in your eyes
There is a sense of darkness and mortality reflected in your eyes.
What have you got buried inside?
What hidden emotions or burdens do you have within you?
The shallow grave in your soul
There's a shallow and underexplored depth in your soul.
The ghosts that have taken control
The haunting influence of unresolved issues or regrets has taken control of you.
You really should have dug a little deeper there
You should have delved deeper into your emotions and experiences.
Body parts are starting to appear and scare
Unpleasant aspects of yourself are emerging, causing fear.
The child inside away
Your inner child is being pushed away or suppressed.
Each tear that flows down your face
Each tear shed reflects an emotional burden.
Trickles then picks up the pace
Tears intensify, symbolizing escalating emotional pain.
And turns to a river inside
Emotional turmoil turns into an overwhelming inner river.
A river that will not subside
This emotional flood shows no signs of subsiding.
I can hear that dreadful overflowing sound
An overwhelming and dreadful sound signifies emotional overflow.
And watching from afar I see a child is drowned
Observing from a distance, one sees the metaphorical drowning of a child within.
The child inside your heart
The innocence or purity within your heart is being lost.
I can see you drifting away
You are gradually distancing yourself from a positive or vibrant state.
Heading for the light
Heading towards enlightenment or positivity.
I can see you drifting away
The repeated imagery suggests a recurring pattern of drifting away from positivity every night.
Every night
Nightly occurrences of moving away from a positive state.
Why were you always inside?
Raising questions about why you remained internal or distant.
On days when the weather was fine
Even on beautiful days, your inner self was not fully present.
And while we were running around
While others were engaged in life, you were absent.
You were nowhere to be found
Your absence was notable during active and lively moments.
You know you should have taken all your dolls to bed
A suggestion to embrace childhood innocence and joy before it's too late.
Well you were made to play games with your soul instead
Life should be a playful exploration of the soul rather than a serious game.
The child inside you died
The symbolic death of the childlike joy or purity within you.
