The Sinking Question
Unveiling Desolation: The Sinking Question
Lyrics
Left on my own
Feeling abandoned or isolated
What did I do wrong? To
Reflecting on perceived mistakes or wrongdoings
deserve this shame
Expressing a sense of shame and questioning deserving it
I hear a voice
Hearing an external voice or influence
I'm left with no choice
Feeling constrained with limited options
To observe their games
Observing the actions or manipulations of others
Outside there lies a life
Recognizing the existence of a different, appealing life
I dare not fantasise
Fearing to imagine or daydream about that life
Yet I ask whyI've not learnt
Questioning personal growth and learning from experiences
Why I'm left to cryWhy I'm left to yearn
Expressing the emotional pain of being left alone to suffer
For what I'll never have
Yearning for something unattainable
My body creeks
Noticing physical discomfort or deterioration
I follow their shrieks
Following the disturbing sounds made by others
Past my wooden walls
Observing the surroundings, possibly confined within walls
I see them there They're
Seeing others carefree and unconcerned
without a care Stood
Describing upright and unaffected individuals
straight and tall
---
Outside I feel the life
Feeling reluctant to describe a vibrant life outside
I would not dare describe
Noting the uncertainty of what could have been known
I might have known
Realizing the inevitability of solitude
That here on my own
Acknowledging the loneliness in personal space
My days would fill with the empty
Experiencing emptiness in daily life
My questions sink And all
Posing unanswered questions that deepen into contemplation
I do is blink At the
Expressing a passive and helpless response
clouded moon
Facing a cloudy or obscured perspective
The river calls
Hearing a beckoning call from a river
The devil he crawls
Reference to a malevolent force or negativity
But I have attuned
Claiming attunement or connection with something beyond
Outside I know there's life
Acknowledging the existence of life outside one's perception
Beyond my sunken eyes
Recognizing a limited and submerged vision
My body's bent
Experiencing physical decline or distortion
And all my time is spent
Being consumed by the anticipation of freedom
Being teased with my freedom
