Saferoom
Echoes of Heartache: Dreams End's Emotional Saferoom Tale
Lyrics
I try to run away from these memories
Expressing an attempt to escape from painful memories.
They always seem to follow me
Acknowledging that the memories persistently haunt the person.
You always said that I wasn't good enough
Recalling criticism from someone who deemed the individual inadequate.
Fuck you I'm good enough
Rejecting the criticism, asserting self-worth defiantly.
I wanted to sing
Expressing a desire to sing, possibly as an outlet for emotions.
But I could only scream
Highlighting a struggle where screaming takes precedence over singing.
I wanted to sing
Repetition of the desire to sing, emphasizing the frustration of being unable to do so.
But I could only scream
Reiteration of the contrast between the desire to sing and the ability only to scream.
I wanted to sing
Continuing the theme of wanting to sing but being constrained to screaming.
But I could only scream
Emphasizing the inability to express oneself through singing.
I wanted to sing
Repeated expression of the desire to sing, underlining the frustration.
But I could only scream
Reiteration of the struggle to sing, resorting only to screaming.
Nailed to the coffin
Metaphorically conveying being confined or restrained ("nailed to the coffin").
I left you my heart
Symbolically leaving behind emotional vulnerability ("heart") but feeling unappreciated.
But it just wasn't good enough
Expressing the perception that the emotional offering was deemed insufficient.
I wanted to sing
Reiteration of the desire to sing amid the ongoing struggle.
But I could only scream
Highlighting the continued difficulty of singing, resorting to screaming.
I wanted to sing
Persisting desire to sing, emphasizing the ongoing inability to do so.
But I could only scream
Reiteration of the theme of being limited to screaming instead of singing.
