Colors Die Out
Embracing Change: A Journey Through Redemption and Acceptance
Lyrics
Put me in a cage
Feeling restricted or confined, possibly by societal norms or personal circumstances.
But cages never made a killer tame
Being in a cage doesn't change one's nature; it doesn't reform a person with violent tendencies.
Or changed his name
The cage doesn't alter identity; it doesn't erase one's past or alter their name.
I don't know a better way
Uncertain about a better path in life, facing the difficulty of moving forward.
But I know I can't go back the way I came
Regret about the impossibility of returning to a previous state or condition.
And I'll never be the same
An acknowledgment of irreversible change and its impact on personal identity.
I wouldn't go as far as to call me changed
Resistance to being labeled as completely transformed, acknowledging the struggle of running away without progress.
I just never got nowhere running away
Admitting to not achieving anything significant by running away from challenges.
I had to find out
The necessity of discovering the absence of current battles or struggles.
There's no fight to fight now
No meaningful conflicts left to engage in or resolve.
That'll make it right now
Recognition that certain situations cannot be made right through fighting.
Til the colors die out
The resolution or redemption sought only when all vibrancy or life fades away.
Forgive a monster's force
Considering forgiveness for a forceful, monstrous act, but acknowledging its limitations in inducing remorse.
But forgiveness can't make him feel remorse
Forgiveness alone cannot instill a sense of guilt or regret in the wrongdoer.
But I hope it's real
An uncertain hope that the forgiveness received is genuine.
You say God loves me still
Reassurance of God's love despite personal struggles or wrongdoings.
But love is like a story that you tell
Love described as a narrative told in a language the speaker cannot comprehend.
In a language I can't hear
Feeling disconnected or unable to understand the language of love.
Sometimes I dream about the stars
Contemplating a brighter future symbolized by stars in dreams.
And think it's really not so dark
A realization that the darkness may not be as overwhelming as initially thought.
I had to find out
Reiteration of the absence of current battles or struggles.
There's no fight to fight now
Acknowledging the futility of fighting non-existent battles.
That'll make it right now
The understanding that there is no immediate solution to make things right.
Til the colors die out
Seeking resolution only when all vibrancy or life diminishes.
Sometimes I dream about the stars
Revisiting the hopeful imagery of stars in dreams.
And think it's really not so dark
Reaffirming the belief that the darkness is not insurmountable.
I had to find out
Reiteration of the absence of current battles or struggles.
There's no fight to fight now
Acknowledging the futility of fighting non-existent battles.
That'll make it right now
The understanding that there is no immediate solution to make things right.
Til the colors die out
Seeking resolution only when all vibrancy or life diminishes.
