I Gave You Time, You Gave Me Scars
Fading Away: A Journey Through Broken Time
Lyrics
Baby, what happened to us, what made it go so wrong,
Baby, questioning the deterioration of the relationship and what caused it to go wrong.
Just maybe, the problems we faced laid there, all along,
Suggesting that the underlying problems existed from the beginning.
But you stained me, with a bitter hope that things would be, how it was
Feeling stained by false hope that things would return to how they were.
But not anymore,
Expressing that the hope for the past is no longer valid.
You say,
Describing communication issues and a desire for time and space.
That I don't take time in the day,
-Or a second to breath,
-My minds in the way,
-Signs in your face,
-Lines get erased,
-I just want a bit of time
-Out this place,
-Let's back track,
-Back to those times in the day,
-When you talk out loud,
-But the lines can't escape,
-And just keep in mind that,
-Life's not a race,
-Can't watch your step when a mine's in your face,
-Go on then I'll shout a little fucking louder!
Expressing frustration and resistance to societal expectations and demands on time.
That's what you wanted right,
-That what's expected of me!
-I took my time, no wait you took my fucking hours!
-You can't expect this of me,
-You can't expect this of me!
-Please don't leave me alone again
Pleading not to be left alone again.
Break me hate me never gonna take me,
Resilience against negativity and defiance against attempts to break or replace.
Take me hate me never gonna break me now!
-Your souls dried out!
-Hate me take me never gonna break me,
-Break me take me never will replace me now!
-Your souls dried out!
-Crazy, we had some time but time can't fix it all,
Acknowledging that time alone cannot fix everything, attempting to rebuild emotional defenses.
And lately, I've used that time to try re-build my walls,
-Please lord Christ take me back to the old times,
Seeking solace in the past and a plea for a sign, acknowledging a personal debt.
I need a sign, cos I'm fading away!
-I won't ask twice cos everything has a price,
-And my souls in debt to you right now!
-Break me hate me never gonna take me,
Continuing resilience against attempts to break or replace, emphasizing a dried-out soul.
Take me hate me never gonna break me now!
-Your souls dried out!
-Hate me take me never gonna break me,
-Break me take me never will replace me now!
-Your souls dried out!
-Break me, hate me, take me, save me
Expressing a sense of falling away and a plea for saving in the face of personal challenges.
Cos I'm falling away!
-Break me, hate me, save me, take me
-Cos I'm falling away from you right now
