Lyrics
Looking at the mirror
Contemplating oneself in the mirror
I thought I'd be too tired to feel
Anticipating fatigue, expecting emotional exhaustion
But the ache it seems to follow
Emotional pain persists, akin to a shadow clinging to the speaker's steps
Like the shadow sticking to my feet
Comparing emotional burden to a shadow on the speaker's feet
Old familiar scheme
Referring to a familiar and repetitive pattern
You left my heart with no relief
Expressing heartache caused by a departed lover
How foolish to believe a love
Acknowledging the foolishness of believing in an everlasting love
So real could never never die
Questioning the permanence of a seemingly real love
In front of my eyes (Karma)
Observing a situation unfold before the speaker's eyes (Karma)
In front of my eyes (I hear ya)
Acknowledging the unfolding situation (I hear ya)
Tell me lies to drown the
Requesting deception to distract from painful words
Words whipping my spine
Describing the impact of hurtful words on the speaker's spine
Time won't turn over
Highlighting the stagnancy of time and its inability to erase emotional wounds
The tides that bring the rain
Metaphorically connecting rain-tides with the passage of time
But can it tell the difference
Questioning the ability of time to distinguish between fate and mistakes
Between fate and mistakes
Reflecting on the confusion between destiny and errors
Memories rushing down my body
Recalling memories affecting the entire body
Soil filling my shoes
Symbolizing emotional weight with soil in shoes
My fading voice it weeps for you
Expressing the speaker's fading voice mourning a lost love
But a love that's lost is deaf
Noting the deafness of a lost love
If only you would let me show who I've become
Expressing a desire for the opportunity to reveal personal growth
Can it be my way back home
Questioning the possibility of returning home
Was paved with cobblestones of potential
Describing a path home paved with unfulfilled potential
Turned illusion long ago
Acknowledging the transformation of potential into illusion
I'm here now at your doorstep
Present at the loved one's doorstep, confident of arriving in time
Oh so sure I made it in time
Expressing certainty about timely arrival
I'm dieting with the doorcrack closing up
Experiencing a sense of exclusion as the door closes
In front of my eyes
Reiterating a situation unfolding before the speaker's eyes
In front of my eyes in front of my eyes
Repeating the observation of a situation unfolding
In front of my eyes your love it died
Declaring the demise of love witnessed by the speaker
In front of my eyes (Karma)
Reiterating the unfolding situation (Karma)
In front of my eyes (I hear ya)
Acknowledging the unfolding situation (I hear ya)
In front of my eyes
Emphasizing the proximity of the situation
(Tell me lies to drown the
Requesting deception to divert attention from painful words
Words whipping my spine) your love it died
Describing the demise of love with words as a whipping force on the spine
