Drawing Lines
Navigating Shadows: Empire Springs' Reflection on Uncharted Paths
Lyrics
Call me out
Expressing a desire to be confronted or challenged.
You know that I've been here before
Acknowledging past experiences in a similar situation.
And I don't
Uncertain about the thoughts or emotions of the other person.
Know just what's going through your head
Confused about the other person's mindset.
So don't make excuses
Encouraging honesty without making justifications.
Just know I tried
Indicating effort in establishing boundaries or guidelines.
To draw out lines
Attempting to define boundaries or limits in the relationship.
We'd cross with time
Suggesting shared experiences or challenges over time.
But we both know by now
Both individuals are aware that some things may not succeed.
Some things don't work out
Acknowledging the inevitability of certain failures.
Because I know that you know
Confirming awareness of being emotionally confined.
That I'm still locked in that house
Referencing personal struggles or emotional imprisonment.
And you know what I don't
Acknowledging lack of understanding about specific issues.
So tell me how can I get out
Seeking guidance on how to overcome personal challenges.
I swear I meant it
Affirming sincerity in intentions or statements made.
That this isn't what I want for you
Expressing a reluctance for the other person's current situation.
But I won't hesitate
Committing to follow through with actions despite challenges.
God knows I'll follow through
Expressing determination to fulfill promises or commitments.
But let's not play pretend
Rejecting a false portrayal of the situation.
This is not the end
Optimistic perspective that the current situation is not final.
Because I know that you know
Reiterating emotional confinement in a specific place.
That I'm still locked in that house
Addressing the challenge of overcoming personal struggles.
And you know what I don't
Admitting a lack of knowledge or understanding on certain matters.
So tell me how can I get out
Seeking guidance on navigating through challenges.
It's not that I have gone astray
Denying deviation from a chosen path or commitment.
You need to know that I've felt this way before
Sharing past experiences of similar emotions.
And believe me when I say it's true
Affirming the truth of the current emotional state.
That I'm not sure who I belong to
Expressing uncertainty about personal connections or attachments.
My allegiance is wandering
Indicating a wandering or uncertain sense of loyalty.
But we both know by now
Reiterating the acknowledgment of potential failures.
Some things don't work out
Confirming that certain aspects of life may not go as planned.
Is this the life you wanted for me?
Questioning the appropriateness of the current life situation.
Because I know that you know
Reiterating emotional confinement in a specific place.
That I'm still locked in that house
Addressing the challenge of overcoming personal struggles.
And you know what I don't
Admitting a lack of knowledge or understanding on certain matters.
So tell me how can I get out
Seeking guidance on navigating through challenges.
It's not that I have gone astray
Denying deviation from a chosen path or commitment.
You need to know that I've felt this way before
Sharing past experiences of similar emotions.
I know you know
Affirming the truth of the current emotional state.
And believe me when I say it's true
Expressing uncertainty about personal connections or attachments.
That I'm not sure who I belong to
Indicating a wandering or uncertain sense of loyalty.
You know what I don't
Acknowledging lack of understanding about specific issues.
My allegiance is wandering
Reiterating a wandering or uncertain sense of loyalty.
