Lyrics
It's been a while
Expressing the passage of time since the artist's last interaction.
I've been gone for quite a moment,
Acknowledging a prolonged absence from the scene.
I don't know if you had noticed
Uncertain if the absence was noticed by others.
But I'm back, writing songs
Return to creating music, possibly as a form of self-expression.
For me to sing alone in the dark
Creating songs to be performed privately or in solitude.
My time is almost out
Suggesting a limited time or opportunity.
I'm almost out of breath
Feeling physically strained or exhausted.
And they're coming for my neck, yeah
Sensing impending criticism or threats from others.
Time is almost out
Reiterating the limited time available.
What will I become?
Pondering the future self in the face of challenges.
When all is said and done
Reflecting on the outcomes of life's journey.
I'd like to meet my monsters, have a talk
Expressing a desire to confront personal struggles.
Ask them why I'm under their control
Questioning the influence or control of internal struggles.
I asked for help and got none, after all
Describing a plea for assistance that went unanswered.
I'm to blame for all the pain I hold
Taking responsibility for the emotional pain experienced.
Had a dream but can't fight for it
Having aspirations but feeling unable to pursue them.
I need help but can't cry for it
Expressing difficulty in seeking help despite a need for it.
I fear judgment, I'll lie for it
Fearing judgment and resorting to deception to avoid it.
Shut them all out, they wonder why I'm so distant
Choosing isolation, leading to others' confusion.
Thought that I just need fixing
Originally thinking personal issues could be fixed.
They can't understand that I'm different
Feeling misunderstood due to individuality.
Gave me shame I held so deep in, they
Internalizing shame inflicted by others.
Made me blame myself for existing
Blaming oneself for simply existing.
Who the fuck am I supposed to be pissed at?
Expressing frustration without a clear target.
Whose fault is it? It's the whole system
Attributing problems to the larger societal structure.
They can't help, I'm not worth assistance
Perceiving oneself as unworthy of assistance.
They can't help, they ain't even listening
Feeling unheard or neglected when seeking help.
It gets hard being optimistic
Struggling to maintain optimism in challenging situations.
I'm too flawed to trust my instincts
Lacking self-confidence to trust one's instincts.
Hope my demons don't get to win this fight
Fearing the negative influence of personal demons.
I'd like to meet my monsters, in the dark
Expressing a desire to confront personal struggles (repeated).
Ask them why I'm under their control
Questioning the influence or control of internal struggles (repeated).
I asked for help and got none, after all
Describing a plea for assistance that went unanswered (repeated).
I'm to blame for all the pain I hold (monsters, have a talk)
Taking responsibility for the emotional pain experienced (repeated).
(Under their control)
Reiterating the influence or control of internal struggles.
Pain I hold (got none, after all)
Reiterating the emotional pain endured.
Pain I hold (monsters)
Reiterating the emotional pain endured (repeated).
(Under)
Emphasizing the influence or control of internal struggles.
Pain I hold (got none)
Reiterating the plea for assistance that went unanswered.
I'm to blame for all the pain I hold
Taking responsibility for the emotional pain experienced (repeated).
