Chalk Dust
Identity Struggles and Inner Demons: Chalk Dust by Domestic Terminal
Lyrics
Wake up and choose an identity
Feeling the need to select a persona or role.
One that will make them depart from me
Choosing an identity to distance oneself from others.
These halls seem endless, they haunt my dreams
Endless corridors symbolizing persistent challenges affecting dreams.
All that I want is to not be seen
Desire to remain unnoticed or invisible.
No way out
Expressing a feeling of being trapped with no escape.
Homeless, heading south
Facing challenges and moving towards a difficult situation.
No condemnation but from myself
Self-criticism without external condemnation.
That constant judgment, that ringing bell
Dealing with constant self-judgment, possibly influenced by external scrutiny.
Torn down by all of their vicious words
Being emotionally affected by hurtful words from others.
At what point are they all just confirmed?
Questioning the point at which negative opinions become undeniable truths.
No way out
Reiteration of feeling trapped with no apparent solution.
Homeless, heading south
Continuation of the theme of facing challenges and moving towards difficulty.
Chalk dust inside my airways
Symbolic reference to a burdensome substance affecting the person.
Twelve years ago on replay
A specific moment from twelve years ago replaying in the mind.
I can't accept your embrace
Rejecting acceptance and emotional support from others.
Held hostage by my headspace
Feeling mentally captive and controlled by one's thoughts.
No way out
Reiteration of feeling trapped with no apparent solution.
Homeless, heading south
Continuation of the theme of facing challenges and moving towards difficulty.
No way out
Emphasizing the sense of being trapped with no escape.
Homeless, heading south
Continuation of facing challenges and moving towards a difficult situation.
