Trapped Inside
Trapped Inside: Navigating Shades of Emotion
Lyrics
The black and white
The clear distinctions between right and wrong or good and bad
Is clear to see
It's evident and easily understood
It's shades of grey
Complexities or uncertainties
Are puzzling me
Confusing or confounding me
Shades of feeling like
Emotions that resemble being deeply buried within
My body's buried deep,
A sense of being partially conscious and unaware
Half asleep, half asleep.
Partially conscious or unaware, in a dreamlike state
It's a very deep hole,
Metaphorical description of a profound and challenging situation
With very steep sides,
Difficult challenges or obstacles
I can't climb out
Unable to escape
I'm trapped inside
Feeling imprisoned or confined
It's a very deep hole,
Repeated reference to the challenging situation
With very steep sides
Emphasizing the daunting nature of the predicament
I can't climb out
Still unable to break free
Lord knows I`ve tried,
Despite efforts, unsuccessful in escaping
But I'm trapped inside
Continued state of being trapped
You know I`ve tried,
Acknowledging attempts to escape
But I'm trapped inside.
Reiterating the entrapment despite efforts
What is it with me,
Questioning personal confusion or lack of coherence
I make no sense
Feeling nonsensical or illogical
Why is it
Questioning one's communication style
I talk in future tense.
Speaking about future events rather than the present
When I'm s'posed to sing
When attempting to sing, the voice becomes loud or forceful
My voice it goes to shout
An inability to escape or break free
"Can`t break out, I can`t break out".
An expression of frustration or desperation
All my climbing up has me nowhere,
Efforts to progress or move forward have been fruitless
All of this can get too much to bear
Feeling overwhelmed or burdened by circumstances
All I`m tryin' to do is mend this beat up heart
Attempting to heal or repair emotional wounds
That's a start, that's a start.
Starting to address emotional recovery
