Embracing the Depths: Yonshakudama's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Living as a ghost
Living in a state of obscurity or detachment.
What's left to be alive
Questioning the purpose of continuing to exist.
Witness to myself, then it all comes down
Being a witness to one's own actions or life events, leading to a realization or downfall.
Let it up, let it up to the surface
Allowing emotions or issues to come to the surface.
Salt the wound make it hurt on purpose
Intentionally causing emotional pain, metaphorically salting a wound.
Show me what I need to burn I deserve it
Asking to be shown what needs to be destroyed or overcome, acknowledging deserving consequences.
Leave me better off
Desiring improvement or a positive change in oneself.
Left in the depths
Being in a state of profound depth or emotional complexity.
Hands outstretched for light
Reaching out for illumination or guidance.
Like a lightning strike
Comparing a significant event or realization to a sudden and powerful lightning strike.
I come alive
Feeling a surge of vitality or awakening.
Died a thousand times trying to be free
Undergoing numerous hardships or challenges in an attempt to achieve freedom.
The eye is opening
Noticing a new perspective or insight.
I am the king
Claiming a position of power or authority.
I strike down like a guillotine
Asserting dominance or control with a swift and decisive action.
Let it up, let it up to the surface
Repeating the call to bring emotions or issues to the surface.
Let it up, let it up to the surface
Reiterating the need to bring emotions or issues to the surface.
Salt the wound make it hurt on purpose
Repeating the metaphor of causing intentional pain for a purpose.
Show me what I need to burn I deserve it
Asking to be shown what needs to be destroyed or overcome, acknowledging deserving consequences.
Leave me better off
Desiring improvement or a positive change in oneself.
Halfway between heaven and hopeless
Being in a state between extreme joy (heaven) and despair (hopeless).
Why did I ever let it get so out of focus
Reflecting on the reasons for losing focus or clarity.
Drop the match let it consume all this
Choosing to let go and allow destruction to take over.
Leave me dead and gone
Expressing a desire to be left behind, possibly as a result of the destructive process.
