Flickers in the Dark
Flickers in the Dark: Embracing Scars, Chasing Stars, and Finding Light
Lyrics
Those cracks on the pavement are starting to show
Expressing awareness of vulnerabilities or flaws becoming apparent in one's life.
A singular void is what I've always known
Describing a lifelong sense of emptiness or a feeling of lacking something significant.
Remember when I would dance around in my room
Recalling a carefree time when the speaker used to dance freely in their room.
Careless and wondering out on the moon
Reflecting on carelessness and exploration, particularly under the moonlight.
Running in circles and chasing the stars
Portraying a cycle of repetitive actions and pursuing unreachable goals.
Cause all of my life I've been covered in scars
Indicating a life marked by emotional and physical scars.
Letting go isn't as clear as it seems
Highlighting the difficulty of releasing attachments or moving on.
And that's what I get for believing in dreams
Expressing regret for trusting in and pursuing unrealistic dreams.
Flickers in the dark
Referring to moments of hope or inspiration in challenging times.
I wait for my life to start
Waiting for a significant event or change in life.
They say that I'm
Receiving criticism for perceived time-wasting activities.
Wasting my time
Being told that the speaker is not utilizing time effectively.
But I don't have some place to hide
Expressing a lack of refuge or escape from judgment.
The moment I'm gone
Anticipating a moment of departure or change.
I hope that I've done something right
Hoping that the speaker has made positive contributions before leaving.
I love my friends and I miss them the most
Affirming love for friends but acknowledging a growing emotional distance.
But lately I've found that we're not really close
Realizing a shift in closeness within friendships.
Capture a moment and leave it alone
Emphasizing capturing moments but also leaving them untouched.
I write all my thoughts on that permanent stone
Preserving thoughts and emotions permanently, possibly through writing.
Flickers in the dark
Reiterating the theme of hope or inspiration in difficult times.
I wait for my life to start
Continuing to wait for a meaningful change or event in life.
They say that I'm
Encountering criticism for perceived time-wasting activities (repeated theme).
Wasting my time
Receiving feedback that the speaker is not using time effectively (repeated theme).
But I don't have some place to hide
Expressing a lack of a hiding place from judgment (repeated theme).
The moment I'm gone
Anticipating a moment of departure or change (repeated theme).
I hope that I've done something right
Hoping for positive contributions before leaving (repeated theme).
There are some people that like what I do
Acknowledging some appreciation for the speaker's actions or creations.
But all of this time I've been singing to you
Realizing that the speaker has been dedicating their efforts to a specific person.
You where there readily cheering me on
Acknowledging the presence and support of a specific individual.
I just wish that you could see what I've become
Expressing a desire for the supporter to understand the speaker's growth and evolution.
