Trauma Bonds
Unraveling Emotional Bonds: Interlinked's Trauma Reflections
Lyrics
I find flaws in myself that only you would see
I recognize imperfections in myself that only you would notice
I sing verses to myself in the night that only you could sing back to me
I privately express thoughts to myself at night that only you could understand and reciprocate
My inflections have meanings that only you could feel
My tone and expressions carry significance that only you can truly comprehend
My inner thoughts are full of blind spots only you could reveal
My innermost feelings and vulnerabilities have hidden aspects that only you could bring to light
And I think that's because they aren't real
Suggesting that these vulnerabilities may not be genuine or real
Sewing discomfort, the worst is all I ever heard
Creating discomfort, with the worst experiences being all that is heard
I took you at your word and took it out on myself
I believed and acted on your words, causing harm to myself
Out on myself
Repeating the self-inflicted harm
I fought your wars against my own blood
I fought battles on your behalf even against my own family
And you’d degrade me whenever you could
You would belittle and demean me whenever the opportunity arose
I fought your wars against my own blood
Reiteration of fighting battles against one's own kin
And you’d degrade me whenever you could
Repeated acknowledgment of being degraded by you
I’m taking your hands off my strings
I am reclaiming control over my own life and decisions
Never again
Declaring a firm decision to avoid such situations in the future
No more
An emphatic statement indicating an end to the previous harmful patterns
Trauma makes its way into a beacon
Trauma becomes a guiding light, influencing our actions
Giving us a lighthouse we can speak in
Suggesting that shared trauma can create a means of communication or understanding
Giving the end of life
Alluding to the impact of trauma on the end of life or relationships
Trauma makes its way into a beacon
Reiteration of trauma influencing our actions and relationships
Please don’t let me die
An emotional plea to avoid succumbing to the consequences of trauma
