Burden
Navigating Shadows: A Soul's Struggle in 'Burden' by In Aisle Eight
Lyrics
Do you ever wonder, if you'll ever see yourself again?
Reflecting on the possibility of losing oneself and wondering if self-discovery will occur.
Do these four walls lose comfort
Questioning the comfort of the current environment, represented by four walls.
Just about the 44th hundred hour you've been in them?
Expressing a prolonged period (44th hundred hour) of confinement within those walls.
When you think about where and who you wanna be
Contemplating aspirations and the disconnection between current state and desired identity.
And where you are do they meet?
Considering the alignment between aspirations and current reality.
Is all this running back and forth bringing out blisters on your feet?
Questioning the toll of constant back-and-forth movements, possibly symbolic of life's challenges.
I've been hurting
Admitting emotional pain or distress.
But I don't want no one helping me out
Declining assistance despite the emotional hardship.
I'm a burden
Acknowledging a personal burden or emotional weight.
And this burden is dragging me down, down, down
Describing the overwhelming nature of the burden, leading to a downward emotional spiral.
Sometimes I feel like the man
Experiencing fluctuations in self-perception, feeling both empowered and burdened at times.
Sometimes I feel like a plague
Feeling like a negative force or influence on others and oneself.
But you know I'll be damned
Determined to pursue personal goals despite challenges.
If I don't get mine, get mine anyways
Asserting the importance of achieving personal goals regardless of obstacles.
Now what you gonna do when everything you got
Questioning the adequacy of one's possessions compared to actual needs.
Is not enough of what you need?
Exploring the inadequacy of current resources in fulfilling essential needs.
When the pushing comes to shoving are you gonna watch?
Contemplating whether to passively observe challenges or take an active leadership role.
Or are you gonna lead?
Pondering the decision to either follow others or take initiative in facing challenges.
I've been hurting
Reiterating the experience of emotional pain or distress.
But I don't want no one helping me out
Declining assistance despite ongoing emotional challenges.
I'm a burden
Reaffirming the acknowledgment of a personal burden or emotional weight.
And this burden is dragging me down, down, down, down
Emphasizing the intensifying impact of the burden, leading to a deeper emotional descent.
I've been hurting
Repeating the admission of emotional pain or distress for emphasis.
But I don't want no one helping me out
Reiterating the preference to face emotional challenges independently.
I'm a burden
Restating the acknowledgment of a personal burden or emotional weight.
And this burden is dragging me down, down, down
Reinforcing the idea that the burden is progressively dragging the individual into deeper emotional turmoil.
