Lyrics
Why can't I see that it's so clear
Expressing confusion or frustration about not being able to perceive something obvious or clear.
That it's the fear that I let steer
Acknowledging that fear is influencing and directing life choices.
My life and soul down this hole
Feeling trapped and spiraling downward, possibly due to the influence of fear.
I'm the one who drew the sun and drew the clouds
Taking responsibility for shaping one's own experiences, both positive (sun) and negative (clouds).
To keep what's dark near my heart
Intentionally keeping darkness close to the heart, metaphorically avoiding exposure to positivity.
And to keep the light out
Actively avoiding or rejecting light in life.
A co-conspirator working behind the scenes
Describing oneself as a hidden collaborator, possibly with negative influences.
To keep my dreams somewhere between
Struggling to find a balance between dreams and the harsh reality.
Hell and where I really want to be
Expressing inner conflict between negative circumstances (hell) and desired goals.
I clench my fists and I get pissed at myself
Experiencing self-directed anger and frustration.
And I wonder if this feeling lives in anyone else
Wondering if others share the same emotional struggles.
Maybe it's just lonely in the dark
Suggesting that loneliness might be a factor in the emotional darkness.
You know you're not the only one in the dark
Assuring the listener that they are not alone in their struggles.
Even when it all starts to fall apart
Even when facing challenges, acknowledging the difficulty of the situation.
It'll be hard
Highlighting the inherent difficulty of the upcoming journey or situation.
Wait in a line that is not mine that never ends
Expressing the frustration of waiting in a never-ending line that is not one's own.
I'd rather lose my mind than fake a smile play pretend
Preferring mental struggle over pretending to be happy or content.
I won't
A straightforward assertion of not engaging in fake emotions.
Keep my distance from the struggle that ensues
Choosing not to distance oneself from the challenges and difficulties of life.
When you pursue the piece of you that tells you
Acknowledging the internal conflict when pursuing self-discovery.
What is real and what is true
Seeking clarity between what is real and what is perceived as true.
I will untangle what I strangled take it all apart
Committing to unraveling and understanding internal conflicts.
Understand these two hands, finally play it from the heart
Committing to authentic expression, possibly through creative endeavors.
I must confess I clench my fists a little less
Acknowledging a reduction in self-directed anger but still facing challenges.
But I'm still a mess
Admitting to internal struggles and a sense of disorder.
Maybe it's just lonely in the dark
Reiterating the theme of loneliness in the dark.
You know you're not the only one in the dark
Assuring that others share the experience of darkness.
Even when it all starts to fall apart
Even in difficult times, acknowledging the challenging nature of the situation.
It'll be hard
Reiterating the inherent difficulty of the upcoming journey or situation.
Maybe it's just lonely in the dark
Repeating the idea that loneliness may contribute to the emotional darkness.
You know you're not the only one in the dark
Reassuring that others share the experience of darkness.
Even when it all starts to fall apart
Acknowledging the challenging nature of the situation even when everything falls apart.
It'll be hard
Emphasizing the difficulty that lies ahead.
