Embracing the Cold: GraveBound's Tonic Reveals the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Meet the end, it's cold embrace
Accepting or facing the approaching end with a cold, indifferent embrace.
Tread lightly as the sound sings you to sleep
Be cautious or careful as the soothing sound lulls you into a state of slumber.
Let me be, set me free, wake me up when it's done
Requesting freedom from a situation and a desire to be awakened once it's resolved.
I can't keep up in this world we live in
Expressing inability to keep pace or match the demands of the contemporary world.
Can't you see that it's killing me?
Highlighting the detrimental effect of the current situation leading to inner distress or harm.
The grief that we seek in our sorry lives
Searching for sorrow or distress as a defining aspect of existence.
We feel alive when we're dead inside
Finding a sense of vitality or being truly alive within an emotionally dead state.
The high we chase, a bitter taste
Pursuing a high or a thrill that ultimately results in an unpleasant experience.
The end's in sight, just can't find the light
Awareness of the approaching end but struggling to find hope or salvation.
That guides you out of this hell we're in
The search for guidance out of the torment or misery being experienced.
It's how we've always been
Indicating a consistent behavioral pattern or mindset.
Willing to try again
Willingness to attempt anew despite repeated failures or setbacks.
But we will never get what we need to feel safe inside our skin
Realization that despite efforts, the necessary sense of security remains elusive.
We'll never find a sweet goodnight
Acknowledging the inability to find a comforting or peaceful conclusion.
Our lives never go as planned
Life not unfolding as intended or expected.
We fail to see that we've come to be
Failing to recognize that one has become the very thing causing self-destruction.
The very thing that destroys us
Realizing that the self is the source of personal downfall.
Set me free
Requesting liberation from a consuming affliction.
From this disease that consumes me
The continuous suffering from a consuming ailment.
The pain is all I'll ever know and I'm so fucking sick of it
Expressing intense frustration with enduring perpetual pain.
