Closer
Unveiling the Depths: Embracing Resilience Amidst Heartache
Lyrics
I was born with a penchant for sadness
I was born with a natural inclination towards sadness.
Now I can finally speak of the madness
Now I can openly express the insanity I've experienced.
Oh you took from me my safety net
You removed my safety and security.
Killed my hopes and made me your pet
You destroyed my aspirations and turned me into your captive.
I'm closer than before
I am now closer to a certain state than I was before.
I believed it could only get better
I once believed that things could improve.
But your ignorance loomed like the weather
Your ignorance was a constant, oppressive force.
Oh you made breathing a nasty chore
You made even breathing a difficult and unpleasant task.
I ate your malice for ten years more
I endured your malicious intentions for an extended period.
I was crushed in the vice of your sickness
I was crushed by the weight of your sickness.
Took the blows for your every weakness
I bore the brunt of your weaknesses, taking the blows for you.
Oh you forbade me to love my mom
You prevented me from loving my mother.
Daddy begged me to keep things calm
My father pleaded with me to maintain calmness.
Closer, I'm closer, much closer than before
I am now much closer than before, emphasizing the increasing proximity to a significant state.
All the fears of the babes lay upon me
I carried the fears of innocent children on my shoulders.
Every word volunteered for my army
I volunteered for a metaphorical army, offering every word I had.
Oh sticks and stones thrown
Harsh words and actions hurt me deeply.
Shattered my bones
Physical harm affected me, but I mended myself with creativity and expression.
I glued them back with rhythms and tones
Reaching out for help, I received only superficial gestures.
Reaching out for the ones who could save me
During difficult times, where were those who could support me?
Nervous pats on the head's all they gave me
Expressions of sympathy were insufficient.
Oh where were you all when I was jailed
During my hardships, where were you all?
I cried and pleaded, to no avail
My pleas and tears were in vain.
Closer, getting closer than I was before
Continuing to get closer to an unspecified destination or state.
I'm closer,
Repetition emphasizing increasing proximity.
Much closer than before
Reiterating the theme of getting closer to something significant.
I stand before the fork
Standing at a crossroads, facing a decision.
I look from left to right
Considering options, looking from left to right.
I wait in partial pause
In a moment of hesitation, waiting and pausing.
And choose to use my sight
Choosing to use my vision or perspective.
I'm ready on my mark
Prepared and waiting for a significant moment.
My heart is beating drums
Feeling the anticipation, with a heart pounding like drums.
I make a run for it
Taking action, making a decisive move.
I'm getting closer, I'm closer, much closer than before
Reaffirming the idea of getting closer to something important.
Closer, I'm closer, much closer than before
Repeating the theme, emphasizing the continued progression towards a particular state or goal.
