Hollow Painted Walls
Breaking Chains: Unveiling the Depths in Flagship Gamble's 'Hollow Painted Walls'
Lyrics
I know I've been down low
I acknowledge that I've experienced difficult times
I've answered Death's call
I have faced moments where death seemed imminent
My fists bleed inside these
Emotional turmoil is causing pain, evident through bleeding fists
Hollow painted walls
My surroundings feel empty and lacking in genuine emotions
Trapped on my knees
I find myself in a confined, helpless position
How could this be?
I'm puzzled by my circumstances and wonder how I got here
I'm a slave to the old me
I feel controlled by my past self
Please set me free
A plea for liberation from the struggles
From this misery
An expression of deep unhappiness and suffering
Still a slave to the old me
Despite efforts, still bound by the past version of myself
It's all up from the bottom
Optimism about improvement and progress
My friends left, I forgot 'em
Feeling abandoned by friends, perhaps due to personal struggles
My hands drip with remorse
Guilt and regret are physically present in the speaker's hands
I'd scream but I am
The speaker is emotionally exhausted and unable to vocalize pain
Hoarse
The voice is strained and exhausted from the inability to express
Trapped on my knees
Repetition of the feeling of helplessness on knees
How could this be?
Reiteration of confusion and entrapment
I'm a slave to the old me
Continued struggle with the influence of the past self
Please set me free
A plea for release from ongoing suffering
From this misery
The persistence of being controlled by the past self
Still a slave to the old me
Despite awareness, the speaker remains bound by the past
I'm way past sane but I'm fine
Admission of being mentally strained but outwardly okay
I'm fine
Reiteration of the facade of being fine despite mental struggles
I'm addicted to the darkness in my mind
Confession of being drawn to the darkness within the mind
In my mind
The acknowledgment of addiction to inner turmoil
Trapped on my knees
Repeated expression of helplessness and entrapment
(My knees)
Emphasis on the physical and emotional burden on the knees
How could this be?
Continued confusion and bewilderment
Still a slave to the old me
Ongoing struggle with the influence of the past self
Please set me free
A plea for freedom from the persisting misery
From this misery
Continued suffering and entrapment in the past
Still a slave to the old me
The enduring control of the past self despite efforts
Set me free
A final plea for liberation from the emotional struggles
