Lyrics
I was put in a round room
I feel confined or trapped in a situation symbolized by a round room.
And told to sit in the corner
Authority figures instruct me to isolate myself as they manipulate my thoughts.
While they wash my brain with a dirty rag
The process involves a metaphorical cleansing of my mind with a negative impact.
I was given a hammer
I'm given a tool (hammer) and tasked with constructing a seemingly impenetrable defense.
And told to build a fortress
The fortification is meant to be a protective barrier that is hard to breach.
With walls impossible to penetrate
The walls are described as nearly impenetrable, suggesting a desire for isolation.
You're the only thing I need
You, a person or an idea, are the sole essential thing in my life.
And you've become the only thing
You have become the central focus of my existence.
That keeps me breathing, without you I'd be
Your presence is vital for my well-being; without you, life would be unbearable.
In a dark place, no light switch
A metaphorical representation of a difficult emotional state, possibly depression.
An open wound without a stitch
An analogy for emotional pain without relief or remedy.
Maybe now you will understand
The hope that through these expressions, the listener will comprehend the depth of the emotions.
No matter how stable
Despite appearances, the stability of the foundation is deceptive.
The foundation may seem
A realization that everything is collapsing or falling apart.
Everything is crashing down on me
The weight of difficulties and challenges is overwhelming.
With paper cuts on fingertips
Experiencing pain and vulnerability symbolized by paper cuts.
Blackened eyes, and broken lips
Physical signs of distress like blackened eyes and broken lips.
Forever wounded, it's hard to tell
Continual emotional wounds that are hard to discern or heal.
You're the only thing I need
You remain the singular necessity in my life, regardless of success or failure.
Whether I fail or succeed
Your importance persists despite the uncertainties of my journey.
Within my blindness, you are all I see
Even in my moments of blindness or confusion, you are the focus of my perception.
The morning fog sun burns away
A metaphor for clarity emerging as the fog of confusion dissipates.
A predator's eye without its prey
The loss of purpose or direction without a significant element or goal.
Maybe now you will understand
The hope that, through the expressions, the listener comprehends the emotional depth.
I won't quit on you
A commitment not to give up on the important person or idea.
No, I won't quit on you
Reiterating the determination to persist and not abandon the significant element.
Ever
An affirmation of unwavering commitment without an endpoint.
