Sanity Defamed
Sanity Unraveled: Battling Inner Demons and Broken Promises
Lyrics
On the seashore we made our last stand
On the seashore, a decisive final stand was taken.
By the stroke of your terror-struck hand
The impact of a terrified hand's movement.
The beast was slain
The dangerous force or problem was defeated.
And yet the beast remains
Despite the victory, the problem persists.
Wide and wild our eyes swept the land
Eyes surveying a vast and untamed landscape.
Dragging our feet in the sand
Slow and burdened movement in the sand.
We'd gone insane
A state of madness or irrationality.
It's sanity defamed
The state of sanity has been damaged or disgraced.
What do you run from, what do you run from
Questioning the motivation for running away.
It's over, it's dead and gone, child
Acknowledging the end of a threat, but emphasizing it's gone.
Don't dismay
An encouragement not to be disheartened.
And yet we stay the same
Remaining unchanged despite circumstances.
What do you run from, what do you run from
Repeating the question about fleeing.
As all of it comes undone
Observing the unraveling of everything.
And starts to fray
The beginning of a disintegration process.
It's sanity defamed
Reiteration of sanity being tarnished or dishonored.
Like the serpent he slithered away
Comparing someone to a deceitful serpent.
For all his promises still to betray us
Unfulfilled promises leading to betrayal.
Oh the shame
An expression of shame.
And you took all the blame
Shouldering the blame for the situation.
Strike the armour you feign for a chest
Command to strike the feigned armor on the chest.
Bent and buckled enough to suggest
Armor showing signs of damage, hinting at vulnerability.
We can't reclaim
The inability to recover what has been lost.
What sanity defamed
Reinforcing the theme of sanity being disgraced.
What do you run from, what do you run from
Repeating the inquiry about the reason for fleeing.
It's over, it's dead and gone, child
Emphasizing the conclusive end of a threat.
Don't dismay
Encouragement not to be disheartened, repeated.
And yet we stay the same
Despite challenges, maintaining a consistent state.
What do you run from, what do you run from
Repeating the question about running away.
As all of it comes undone
Observing the unraveling of everything, repeated.
And starts to fray
The commencement of a disintegration process, repeated.
It's sanity defamed
Reiteration of the theme of sanity being tarnished or dishonored.
