Bright Light
Unveiling Shadows: Bright Light's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Wake up in the morning turn the lock on the door
Beginning of the day, locking oneself in, perhaps metaphorical for shutting off from the world.
Go over all your secrets before you start getting more
Reflecting on personal secrets before facing the challenges of the day.
Questions thrown at you that you deviate from
Confronted with questions, trying to avoid or divert from them.
You always get aggressive before you start all the fun
Becoming aggressive as a defense mechanism before engaging in enjoyable activities.
Of a disappearing act I will no longer bear
Tired of enduring a disappearing act, suggesting emotional withdrawal or distance.
For days at a time and I no longer care
Indifference and detachment, no longer caring about the disappearing act.
You can't fight what you can't see
Unable to fight or confront what is unseen or hidden.
Pick a punching bag oh wait that's me
Feeling like a target or victim, being the recipient of aggression.
When your world comes crumbling down
When facing personal crises, reacting with anger or aggression.
You lash out
Reacting impulsively and aggressively when things fall apart.
You lash out
Repeating the pattern of lashing out in response to challenges.
It's like you take a hammer to my heart
Expressing the pain caused by emotional harm, using a metaphorical hammer to the heart.
Try to break my love

I guess its something only in my head

I guess you have the kind of love I dread
Recognizing the unpleasant nature of the partner's love, causing dread.
I guess I kind of drowned in your smoke
Drowning in the partner's negative influence or behavior, feeling overwhelmed.
I guess I did it so you didn't have to feel alone
Sacrificing oneself to prevent the partner from feeling alone, possibly enabling unhealthy behavior.
I guess there's nothing more than flesh and bone
Realizing the relationship lacks depth, reduced to mere physical existence.
When you come home
Returning home with a sense of guilt or disgrace.
All rooted in shame

I'm not glass I wont break

You can hem around me baby I'm still gonna stay

And all that good you thought we could do
Acknowledging that positive actions and intentions will not materialize due to the partner's choices.
Won't ever happen now and that's all on you
