afraid of the dark
Embracing the Shadows: Gemma Nicole's Poetic Journey through Fear and Light
Lyrics
Do the stars burn when they're angry
Questioning if celestial bodies express anger through burning.
Is there something they can teach me
Desire to learn from the stars, seeking wisdom.
How to stay calm
Yearning for guidance on staying calm.
Tell me it's not you that I want
Requesting assurance that the desired person is not the one being sought.
Can I be a guiding light
Asking if the speaker can be a source of guidance and support.
If you tell me everything that keeps you up at night
Offering support by listening to the other person's worries.
Let me in so I know all your frights
Expressing a desire to know all the fears of the other person.
Star light star bright
Reference to the traditional nursery rhyme.
Burning up your nighttime
Imagery of stars burning during the nighttime.
Consuming all of me until it makes you feel right
Describing a consuming, intense connection.
I can't sleep around the clock
Unable to sleep due to continuous thoughts.
Cause I don't know how to be afraid of the dark
Claiming incapability to fear the darkness.
Is it all on me, wanting something out of reach
Questioning responsibility for unattainable desires.
Thinking you wanted me
Reflecting on perceived mutual feelings.
How could I be so naive
Expressing disbelief at one's own naivety.
And I can't breathe and I'm losing all this sleep
Feeling suffocated and losing sleep over a situation.
And it makes me wanna bleed
Desire to escape the emotional pain, metaphorically expressed.
You're slowly killing me
Feeling emotionally drained and harmed by a relationship.
Can you be my guiding light
Requesting reciprocal support and guidance.
If I tell you everything that keeps me up at night
Offering openness and vulnerability to the other person.
Let me in so you'll enjoy your time
Hoping for the other person to enjoy shared time.
Star light star bright
Recurrence of the star imagery.
Burning up your nighttime
Stars burning during the nighttime, symbolic of intensity.
Consuming all of me until it makes you feel right
Describing the consuming nature of the relationship.
I can't sleep around the clock
Reiterating inability to sleep due to emotional turmoil.
Cause I don't know how to be afraid of the dark
Repeating the incapability to fear the darkness.
You walked in like some bigger blinding sight
Describing the impactful entrance of someone significant.
Was I looking straight towards the afterlife
Questioning if the speaker was headed towards a significant change.
I don't know what you're wishing for
Uncertainty about the other person's desires.
Am I even your wish no more
Doubting the speaker's importance in the other person's wishes.
Was I star light star bright
Recalling the star imagery and the brightness of past nights.
Did you enjoy those nighttimes
Questioning the other person's enjoyment of shared nighttime.
Consuming all of me
Repetition of the consuming nature of the relationship.
Did it make you feel right
Questioning if the intensity made the other person feel justified.
I can't sleep around the clock
Reiterating inability to sleep due to fear.
Cause you know I'm afraid of the dark
Confirming the fear of darkness as a personal struggle.
Star light star bright
Recurrence of star imagery, now suggesting a separation.
Burning up your nighttime
Repetition of the burning nighttime imagery.
Consuming all of me until it makes you feel right
Emphasizing the consuming nature until it feels right for the other person.
I can't sleep around the clock
Reiterating the personal struggle with the fear of darkness.
Cause I don't know how to be afraid of the dark
Finalizing the admission of fear of the dark.
