Lyrics
Been feeling hardly human
Expressing a sense of disconnection from humanity and a struggle with identity.
No one can hear my call
Feeling unheard or isolated, possibly reaching out for connection.
And I've been dreaming of this town
Dreaming of a particular town, possibly a metaphor for seeking meaning or purpose.
Looking for days and days with
Searching for an extended period with little success or evidence.
Barely a trace at all
Struggling to find clear signs or indications.
But it's too dark to find it now
It's too difficult to find what is sought in the darkness.
Forgetting where I come from
Forgetting one's origin, distancing oneself from the past.
I don't need anyone
Independence and self-sufficiency, not relying on others.
Who has to tell me they belong
Rejecting the need for validation from those who assert belonging.
But could you tell me I belong
Desiring genuine acknowledgment and recognition of belonging.
I'm betting there's a reason
Speculating that there's a cause or purpose behind everything going awry.
Everything turned out wrong
Reflecting on the outcome of events as being contrary to expectations.
Well did you know that I was gone
Asking if others were aware of the speaker's absence.
Did you know that I was gone
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the sense of being overlooked.
Paralyzed
Feeling paralyzed, possibly emotionally or mentally stagnant.
Frozen to the bone inside
Experiencing a profound internal coldness or numbness.
Laid beneath the northern lights
Lying beneath the northern lights, a metaphor for a majestic but distant experience.
Dancing overhead
The lights are metaphorically dancing above, adding a surreal aspect.
With every golden rumor
Every rumor is described as golden, possibly suggesting the allure of stories or truths.
Barreling off their tongues
Rumors flowing freely, spoken words having impact.
I think I'll call the truth my own
Choosing to embrace one's own truth, asserting personal authenticity.
Yeah I'll call the truth my own
Reiterating the commitment to claim one's truth.
And if you'd told me sooner
If the truth had been revealed earlier, perhaps issues could have been avoided.
Maybe this would be done
Expressing uncertainty and regret about not having prior knowledge.
But really how could I have known
Acknowledging the difficulty of foreseeing or understanding certain situations.
Really how could I have known
Reiterating the challenge of anticipating outcomes.
Paralyzed
Repetition of the feeling of paralysis, emphasizing the emotional or mental standstill.
Frozen to the bone inside
Repetition of the internal coldness or numbness.
Laid beneath the northern lights
Revisiting the imagery of lying beneath the northern lights.
Dancing overhead
Reiteration of the lights dancing overhead.
Sanctified
Feeling sanctified, possibly implying a sense of purification or redemption.
Chosen to be saved tonight
Being chosen for salvation, contrasting with earlier feelings of isolation.
Ignoring all the sound advice
Ignoring advice and choosing a path of personal significance.
Waking up instead
Opting for awakening instead of following conventional wisdom.
Paralyzed
Repetition of the feeling of paralysis, reinforcing a sense of stagnation.
Frozen to the bone inside
Repetition of the internal coldness or numbness.
Laid beneath the northern lights
Revisiting the imagery of lying beneath the northern lights.
Dancing overhead
Reiteration of the lights dancing overhead.
I never asked you if you cried
Not explicitly asking about someone's emotional state but finding satisfaction in their reaction.
But your reaction satisfied
Highlighting contentment with the emotional response, possibly suggesting closure.
A winter passing overnight
Metaphorically describing a passing period of emotional coldness or hardship.
