Shades
Shades of Heartbreak: Seeking Solace in Shadows
Lyrics
I lose my mind today
I am experiencing a mental breakdown today.
I put my heart away
I have decided to guard my emotions and not let my heart be vulnerable.
Pulled every flower from the ground
I have uprooted every flower from the ground, possibly symbolizing the destruction of beauty or positive aspects.
Shut everything down
I have closed off or disconnected from everything around me.
This heart of mine is never gonna be the same
My heart will undergo a profound change and will not be the same as it used to be.
It's never gonna beat the way it did before
The heart will not beat in the same way it did before, indicating a significant emotional impact.
You can tell all the stars
Stars are asked not to shine, possibly expressing a desire for darkness or a lack of interest in external beauty.
They don't need to shine
Suggests a lack of necessity for external luminance or attention.
That I could use some time
I need some time for myself, possibly to heal or reflect.
So tell the sun to wait

While I pull down the shades
Closing the shades, a metaphor for blocking out external influences or emotions.
This house was once a home
This place was once filled with love and warmth but now feels cold and lifeless.
Now it's just brick and stone
The home is reduced to its basic physical elements, losing its emotional essence.
Take every single thing that's here
Removing everything from the environment, possibly to erase memories or start anew.
And cover up the mirrors
Covering mirrors suggests an avoidance of self-reflection or confronting one's own image.

It's never gonna beat the way it did before
