Layers
Unveiling the Soul: kidneythieves' Layers of Emotional Resonance
Lyrics
One by one, stings my eyes
Intense emotions bring tears to my eyes.
Each is gone, each a disguise
Each emotion is gone, replaced by a deceptive facade.
Smiling, so aware
Smiling outwardly, but internally conscious and alert.
Precious moments so rare
Treasured moments are scarce and valuable.
Boiled thoughts, evaporated - gone.
Deep thoughts have evaporated, leaving an emptiness.
Can't bear the loss of never loving you
The pain of never experiencing love is unbearable.
So jaded, so wrong
Feeling disillusioned and morally misguided.
Stripping my skin over again
Removing my protective layer, exposing vulnerability.
Back when they were teaching me to color in between the lines
Reflecting on childhood lessons about conformity.
In the cushion of my soul I found a remote and now it's changing time
Discovering a tool to manipulate the passage of time.
Peeling layers, layers, layers.
Unveiling and shedding various emotional layers.
Stripping my skin over again
Continuing the process of self-exposure and vulnerability.
Shivering pale, under my nails
Feeling cold and trembling, the effects visible under the surface.
Back when they were teaching me to color in between the lines
Recalling lessons about conformity and restriction.
In the cushion of my soul I found a remote and now it's changing time
Using a metaphorical remote to control and alter life's course.
Peeling layers, layers, layers.
Continuing the process of peeling away emotional layers.
Escape in a drug not lasting enough
Seeking escape in temporary pleasures but finding them insufficient.
Now I just use my fingers for love
Replacing external comforts with self-love and introspection.
Rocked back, forth, cornered alone
Feeling trapped and isolated, rocking back and forth.
Purging mind feeds a starving soul
Purging negative thoughts to nourish the starving soul.
Uncoil, unwrap, shed, scrape, peel, naked, alive, tear down... feel
Expressing the process of unfolding, revealing, and experiencing raw emotions.
