Darkness
Embracing Light: Unveiling the Shadows in Grace Graber's 'Darkness'
Lyrics
You wanna hide
You have a desire to conceal something
But it's really killing
This concealment is causing significant harm
You inside
The concealment is affecting your inner self
So you'd rather leave it
You prefer to avoid addressing the issue
To show you're
The avoidance implies guilt or wrongdoing
Doing something wrong
You are punishing yourself for your perceived faults
To punish
This punishment is directed towards the person you've become
The person you've become
The negative feelings are growing within
It's breedin' in
The negativity is associated with darkness
The darkness
You cannot deny or escape the darkness
You can't pretend
You are aware of the darkness within
You don't notice
An invitation to communicate and share your thoughts
Come on and speak
An encouragement to express yourself
I'm listening
The speaker is ready to listen
You can find in
The speaker can be a supportive friend
Me a friend
An assurance that it's okay to open up
It's okay
A reminder of your normalcy
You're really normal
Reassurance that there's no trouble
Don't think
A hidden aspect of yourself is emphasized
That you're in trouble
Don't perceive yourself as being in trouble
You keep a
You are keeping a secret from everyone
Secret no one knows
An invitation to share the secret to prevent its growth
Well come on and tell me
Encouragement to reveal the secret
So it doesn't grow
To prevent the negative aspect from expanding
It's breedin' in
The negativity persists in the darkness
The darkness
The darkness cannot be ignored or denied
You can't pretend
You are conscious of the darkness within
You don't notice
An invitation to express your awareness
Come on and speak
The speaker is ready to listen
I'm listening
The speaker can be a supportive friend
You can find in
An urging to bring the issue into the open
Me a friend
Emphasizing the availability of support
Go ahead and bring it
An encouragement to reveal the hidden issue
Into the light
To expose the issue to the light
You don't have
No need to make an effort to hide
You don't have to try
An emphasis on the ease of disclosure
Go ahead and bring it
To bring the issue into the light
Into the light
No need to make an effort to hide
You don't have
An emphasis on the ease of disclosure
To try
No need to make an effort to hide
It's breedin' in
The negativity persists in the darkness
The darkness
The darkness cannot be ignored or denied
You can't pretend
You are conscious of the darkness within
You don't notice
An invitation to express your awareness
Come on and speak
The speaker is ready to listen
I'm listening
The speaker can be a supportive friend
You can find in
An urging to bring the issue into the open
Me a friend
Emphasizing the availability of support
