nothing I can do
Struggles of Illumination: Battling Shadows in Love
Lyrics
Trust me I tried
Expressing an attempt to help or support.
Pulling you out of the sea
Metaphorically pulling someone out of a difficult situation.
But my hand was touched by yours
Intimate contact with the person being helped.
You closed your eyes to the light
Metaphor for turning away from positivity or hope.
But light shined and I could see
Despite the person's resistance, clarity is achieved.
So I found my way to the shore
Navigating through challenges to reach stability.
But it froze now
Progress halted, possibly due to emotional numbness.
I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about the situation.
He stayed inside
Referring to another person who avoids confronting issues.
He would hide
Choosing seclusion to evade difficulties.
'Cause he couldn't stand the light
Aversion to facing truth or reality.
And it's not me
Clarifying that the singer is not the one causing the struggle.
Who could break him free
Acknowledging inability to liberate the other person.
Though I tried
Reiterating efforts to assist despite challenges.
I tried
Emphasizing persistent attempts to help.
But I couldn't stand the fight
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to continue the conflict.
I still have the memories that you gave
Retaining positive memories from the past.
But I don't feel the least amount of pain
Insensitivity or numbness to emotional pain.
Now all I feel
Experiencing emotions associated with blame.
Is everything you blamed (everything you gave)
Attributing responsibility for negative feelings.
And now you're deep inside the shore
Symbolizing the person's internal struggle or isolation.
And I can't reach there anymore
Feeling unable to reconnect or assist any further.
I don't know how
Expressing uncertainty about the way forward.
to swim out anymore
Difficulty in returning to a supportive role.
But it froze now
Reiteration of a frozen or stagnant state.
I don't know how
Uncertainty and confusion persist.
He stayed inside
Referring to someone still avoiding challenges.
He would hide
Persisting in hiding from difficult situations.
'Cause he couldn't stand the light
Reiteration of aversion to confronting reality.
And it's not me
Reaffirming the singer's inability to provide liberation.
Who could break him free
Acknowledging the futility of efforts to break free.
Though I tried
Emphasizing the singer's persistent attempts.
I tried
Reiteration of the singer's efforts despite challenges.
But I couldn't stand the fight
Expressing the singer's inability to continue the struggle.
