Lyrics

Light fading in

Beginning of a fading light, possibly symbolizing a transition or decline.

Stray strands pierce covered eyes

A feeling of being constrained or blinded, possibly by circumstances.

The beeps of the monitors keep me here

Monitors' beeps keeping the speaker tethered or connected to a certain reality.

Such fragile skin

Reflection on the vulnerability of human skin.

Warm to the touch but stagnant like water

Contrast between warmth to the touch and a stagnant, unchanging state.

How do I exist here as a ghost

Existential contemplation on being present yet feeling like a ghost.


Subtly in a dream

Existence in a dreamlike state, subtly unnoticed by others.

But they don't know its me

Recognition that others are unaware of the speaker's true identity in the dream.

The glare of the lights

The intense glare of lights, possibly symbolizing scrutiny or judgment.

Kept staring back me

A persistent gaze from the lights, reflecting a sense of being watched or observed.


There is no hell worse than loneliness

Loneliness depicted as a profound form of suffering.

A designers fatal flaw

Loneliness portrayed as a flaw in the design of life.

A designers fatal flaw

Reiteration of the idea that loneliness is a fatal flaw in the design of existence.


Distance in years

The temporal distance emphasized, possibly indicating a sense of isolation.

This poured out heart beats quiet and slowly

The emotional intensity of a heartfelt expression diminishing slowly.

As I begin to disappear

A gradual fading away or disappearance of the speaker.


Wake up, I know it's not the end

An awakening, realizing that the current state is not the end.

Fight back, get through, you'll live again

A call to resist and overcome challenges, anticipating a renewed life.

Almighty, I've loved my soul in vain

An expression of love and the realization that it might have been in vain.

So dead man wake to feel no pain

A paradoxical plea for a dead person to wake, suggesting a desire to escape pain.


There is no hell worse than loneliness

Reiteration of loneliness as an intense form of suffering.

A designers fatal flaw

Loneliness seen as a fundamental flaw in the design of life.

A designers fatal flaw

Repeating the idea that loneliness is a fatal flaw in life's design.

And maybe I've been searching for an exit

A reflection on searching for an exit, possibly from the loneliness.

But and entrance was all I saw

A realization that only an entrance was perceived, suggesting a lack of escape.

But an entrance was all I saw

Reiteration that only an entrance, not an exit, was observed.


Without love and without hope we won't make it through

An assertion that love and hope are essential for survival.

We won't make it through

An ominous prediction that without love and hope, survival is doubtful.
