Solitary Mind
Unveiling Shadows: Navigating the Depths of a Solitary Mind
Lyrics
The sun is creeping in
The sunlight is slowly entering.
Through the shades again
Once again coming through the window coverings.
Is this disguise enough to shield me from the light
Questioning if the current disguise is sufficient to protect from the brightness.
This shadow overhead
A figurative darkness looming above.
Reels me further in
Attracts me further into its grasp.
Concealing me from this cruel game called life
Hiding from the harsh challenges of life.
For a moment I felt whole, but I slipped
Experiencing a brief sense of completeness, but losing it.
Couldn’t find the grip to hold
Unable to maintain a firm hold, slipping away.
So I fell further down
Descending deeper due to the inability to hold on.
Into the confines of
Entering the limits of
My solitary mind
My isolated thoughts.
Strengthening my disguise
Reinforcing the disguise to
So I can hideaway
Enable withdrawal into seclusion.
Inside of my solitary mind
Within the confines of my solitary thoughts.
Don't look down
Cautioning against looking downward.
Don't make a sound
Advising not to create noise.
I've got you now
Asserting control over the situation.
Eyes closed shut
Shutting the eyes tight.
Eyes closed shut
Reiteration of closed eyes, perhaps to avoid facing reality.
I can't hide from the demons inside my head
Acknowledging the inability to escape internal struggles.
This disguise has been worn much too thin
Acknowledging the fragility of the current disguise.
Maybe it's time to let the light flow in
Contemplating allowing positivity to enter.
Take the shades away from this hidden place
Suggesting removing the barriers from the hidden thoughts.
It is up to me
Emphasizing personal responsibility for change.
It is up to me
Reiteration of self-empowerment.
To reveal a fortress of serenity
Taking charge to unveil a sanctuary of peace.
It is up to me
Restating personal agency.
It is up to me
Reaffirming the role of the individual.
Take the shades away from this hidden place
Repeating the idea of removing barriers from hidden thoughts.
It is up to me
Underscoring the responsibility for change lies within oneself.
