Sleeper
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Profound Journey in Ghoul Talk's 'Sleeper'
Lyrics
Under the blacklight, fighting the fall out
Under the blacklight, facing the consequences of a situation
I guess it figures
Acceptance of the situation as expected
I'm just the same as all that I was when I didn't know
Acknowledging personal continuity despite lacking awareness in the past
Holding a hand out, for something to reach now
Seeking something beyond, reaching out for it
I know it's bigger
Awareness that the quest is significant and impactful
Than all of the places I wish that I could go
Recognizing the magnitude of unexplored desires and places
But it hurts, I'm ready
Experiencing pain, but prepared and resilient
It calls, I'm ready
Feeling the call to face challenges
I'm ready to know
Expressing readiness to understand
What's through the darkness
Yearning to discover what lies beyond the darkness
Bury the witness
Concealing evidence or truth
When she's cold
Coldness and detachment in a relationship
If it hurts, I'm ready
Enduring pain, but still prepared
It calls, I'm ready
Feeling the call to face challenges again
I'm ready to show
Ready to reveal oneself
One more rotation
Desiring another chance or cycle
Strange, the sensation
Noting the peculiar feeling when a situation concludes
When it goes
Reflecting on the sensation when something ends
Under the blacklight, forcing a feeling
Confronting emotions under intense scrutiny
Begging forgiveness
Pleading for forgiveness for actions or choices
I feel so far from the place I ought to be
Feeling distant from one's intended place or purpose
Holding a hand out, for something to reach now
Reaching out for help or connection
Just to get bitten
Risking vulnerability for a chance encounter
In the violet light I saw you sharpening your teeth
Observing someone preparing for confrontation or challenge
But it hurts, I'm ready
Experiencing pain but maintaining readiness
It calls, I'm ready
Feeling the call to face challenges once more
I'm ready to know
Expressing readiness to understand again
What's through the darkness
Yearning to discover what lies beyond the darkness (repeated)
Bury the witness
Concealing evidence or truth (repeated)
When she's cold
Coldness and detachment in a relationship (repeated)
If it hurts, I'm ready
Enduring pain, but still prepared (repeated)
It calls, I'm ready
Feeling the call to face challenges again (repeated)
I'm ready to show
Ready to reveal oneself (repeated)
One more rotation
Desiring another chance or cycle (repeated)
Strange, the sensation
Noting the peculiar feeling when a situation concludes (repeated)
When it goes
Reflecting on the sensation when something ends (repeated)
So speak through me
Asking for guidance or inspiration from external sources
I want to know what it's like when it's real
Curiosity about experiencing authenticity
If I'm called to be the blood in the water
Willingness to be a significant part of challenging situations
You'll reach for me
Expectation of support even if it involves pushing boundaries
Outstretched only to keep pushing me under
Resisting being submerged despite external pressure
Cut me wide
Invoking a metaphor of vulnerability
Never as I seem
Challenging the perception of oneself
If you look inside
Encouraging introspection to understand one's true nature
Would you see what I see?
Exploring the depth and complexity within
If you cut me wide
Emphasizing the hidden aspects of one's identity
Never as I seem
Reiterating the idea of being more than outward appearances
