Swimming
Drowning in the Silence: Hollow Graves' Poetic Journey Through Nightmares
Lyrics
I'm sleeping
Feeling emotionally detached or numb, possibly seeking solace in sleep.
Don't wake me up
Desire for uninterrupted rest, reflecting a need to escape from reality or inner struggles.
Always
Constantly engaged in self-reflection or self-criticism.
Putting myself down
Expressing a habit of diminishing self-worth or engaging in self-sabotage.
These late nights have a hold of me
Experiencing the impact of deep, introspective thoughts during late-night hours.
Staring at the dots on the ceiling
Engaging in contemplation, possibly feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Sedate me
Seeking tranquility or numbness, possibly through external means like substances or distractions.
Can't drown you out
Unable to escape or ignore a particular thought or emotion.
Only
Emphasizing a solitary struggle, where external influences are ineffective.
To keep swimming down
Continuing to navigate through difficulties or challenges despite internal turmoil.
A second bite at the apple
Opportunity for a fresh start or a new perspective, though it may be challenging.
I'll lie here perfectly still
Choosing to remain motionless, possibly reflecting a desire for stability or avoidance of change.
My body falls asleep
Physical rest contrasts with a restless mind, indicative of inner turmoil.
But my mind races through hell
Mentally grappling with challenging or distressing thoughts during sleep.
I sit myself inside a corner
Isolating oneself mentally, creating a metaphorical corner to escape from difficulties.
It's a nightmare I didn't want to shake
Facing a distressing situation that feels inescapable or haunting.
A solitary standstill is better
Choosing a state of temporary stagnation over the effort required to confront difficulties.
Than trying to stay awake
Weighing the challenges of staying awake against the perceived benefits of remaining still.
Can you tell now
Questioning if external observers can discern the internal emotional struggles.
That I'm broken up inside
Revealing internal emotional pain or distress that may not be immediately apparent.
Can you tell
Expressing a desire to conceal emotional turmoil and not burden others.
That I didn't want to spend the night
Indicating a reluctance or discomfort in spending time in emotional distress.
Can you tell
Asking if external observers can recognize the desire for emotional escape through sleep.
Sleeping
Reiterating the theme of seeking refuge in sleep as a response to inner struggles.
Always
Highlighting a perpetual state of seeking solace or escape through sleep.
Can you tell
Reaffirming the theme of concealed emotional distress during moments of rest.
