Unspoken Echoes: Little Fauna's Weight of Silence
Lyrics
There was so much left to say
Expressing a sense of unfinished communication or unspoken feelings.
Force-fed words and a bitter taste
Being forced to hear unpleasant words, leading to a negative experience.
It got stuck under my tongue
A metaphor for being unable to express certain thoughts or emotions.
And the thought still makes me numb
Reflecting on the lasting impact of those unspoken thoughts, causing emotional numbness.
And It's filling up my mouth
Continuation of the metaphor, the unexpressed words are overwhelming.
Oh it's filling up my mouth
Reiteration of the overwhelming nature of unspoken thoughts.
It all feels heavy now
A general feeling of emotional burden and weight.
You're caught around my teeth
Describing the lingering presence of unresolved issues or feelings.
Grin and bear it, go to sleep
Suggesting the need to endure difficulties with a forced smile and continue with life.
Scraped all the skin off of my knees
Metaphor for enduring hardship, sacrificing one's well-being.
To save face and keep the peace
Enduring difficulties to maintain a positive image and avoid conflict.
Inside this body
Emphasizing the internal struggle within the speaker's body.
Inside this body
Repetition for emphasis on the internal turmoil.
I'd spit it out if I could,
Desire to express or release pent-up emotions, hindered by circumstances.
Oh, you're not just misunderstood
Rejecting the notion of being misunderstood, asserting a clear perspective.
Did you expect my golden silence?
Questioning if silence is expected, challenging the need for quiet compliance.
Hungry hands in your defiance
Referring to manipulative or demanding behavior from others.
And I'm so weighed down with doubt
Feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty and lack of clarity.
Oh I'm so weighed down with doubt
Reiteration of the weight of doubt and uncertainty.
And It all feels heavy now
The burden of unresolved issues and doubts feels particularly heavy.
Oh it all feels heavy now
Re-emphasizing the weight and intensity of emotional burdens.
You're caught around my teeth
Repetition of the lingering impact of unresolved matters.
Grin and bear it go to sleep
Enduring difficulties with a forced smile and carrying on with life.
Scraped all the skin off of my knees
Metaphor for enduring physical and emotional pain.
To save face and keep the peace
Maintaining a positive exterior to avoid conflict and maintain harmony.
Inside body
Reiteration of the internal struggle within the speaker's body.
Inside this body.
Repetition for emphasis on the internal turmoil.
Inside this body
Further emphasis on the internal struggle within the speaker.
I'd spit it out if I could
Expressing a desire to release pent-up emotions if possible.
Oh, you're not just misunderstood...
Asserting that the speaker is not simply misunderstood, challenging perceptions.
