Lyrics
There's a wall of silence where your voice should be
There is a barrier of silence in a place where your expression or communication should be present.
Are you losing your mind?
Are you experiencing a mental or emotional breakdown?
Bricks and stone as a replacement for your honesty
Metaphorical elements like bricks and stones are being used instead of truthful and open communication.
I begin to wonder if I'm losing mine
The speaker is questioning their own sanity due to the lack of honesty in the relationship.
Only room for one of us at a time
There's limited space for only one person to express themselves at a time, suggesting a lack of mutual understanding or communication.
And so I struggled with the notion, like you knew I would
The speaker grapples with an expected idea, possibly a challenging situation, as if it was anticipated by the other person.
Because it's easier said than it's done
Expressing something is easier in words than putting it into action.
Now there's the outline of a painting in the place you stood
A visual indication remains in the absence of the person, possibly highlighting a void or change.
But all the colours that were there fade to none
The vibrant elements associated with the person fade away, leaving a sense of emptiness.
Word it any way you want, write it on a page, carve it into your skin
The manner in which the situation is described or expressed can vary, including written or physical forms.
Give in
Surrender or yield to a persuasive or rational influence.
To the voice of reason weighing down on you
A rational voice is putting pressure on the individual, and it is a burdensome experience.
It's a heavy price to pay to feel fine
Emphasizes the significant cost or consequence of complying with reason to achieve a sense of well-being.
Only room for one of us at a time
Reiterating the theme that only one person can occupy the emotional space at a given time.
So if it seems insincere
If the situation appears insincere, the speaker commits to making a greater effort to conform or comply.
I'll try harder to adhere
The speaker pledges to make a more sincere effort to align with expectations or norms.
When the colours reappear
Anticipation of a positive change when the vibrant colors of a situation reappear.
I'll be glad that you're still here
The speaker expresses joy or relief at the persistence of the other person in the relationship.
