Mercy
Echoes of Love Lost: Seeking Mercy in the Shadows
Lyrics
I guess I got the truth now
I have now learned the truth
not sure if it was worth it
Uncertain if the experience was worthwhile
Cause the moment the words left your lips I felt it
When you spoke, I immediately felt the impact
Falling from the rooftops
Descending from the heights where we used to be
where you once took me
Referencing a location of past significance
It's funny how days looks tainted rose in memories
Reflecting on how time can alter memories
But remembering costs more then just the sunlight you gave
Recalling has a cost beyond the joy you brought
There goes my sanity, my heart, and nights I didn't spend awake
Expressing the loss of sanity, heart, and sleepless nights
Baby give me mercy
Pleading for mercy
someone save me
Seeking salvation from pain
Cause I hurt myself every time I see that blue
Hurting oneself with each encounter of a particular color (blue)
I just need some mercy
Desiring compassion and understanding
someone to stop the bleeding
Craving relief from emotional wounds
It's like nails hammered into a coffin when I think of you
Comparing painful memories to nails in a coffin
Part of me reveres you
Acknowledging admiration for a ghost-like presence
for living like an echo
Appreciating love that echoes and plays games
Cause you loved me like a ghost that liked to play silly games
Describing a past lover as a ghost with playful tendencies
But remembering your sins only give you more of me
Reflecting on the consequences of remembering past mistakes
And when dawn broke all my shadow I could finally see
Finding clarity when shadows disappear at dawn
Baby give me mercy
Repeating the plea for mercy
someone save me
Asking for rescue from ongoing pain
Cause I hurt myself every time I see that blue
Self-inflicting harm with each encounter of the color blue
I just need some mercy
Expressing the need for compassion and empathy
someone to stop the bleeding
Desiring help to stop emotional bleeding
It's like nails hammered into a coffin when I think of you
Continuing the metaphor of painful thoughts as nails in a coffin
Baby give me mercy
Reiterating the plea for mercy
someone save me
Seeking salvation and rescue
Cause I hurt myself every time I see that blue
Repeating the cycle of self-harm when encountering blue
I just need some mercy
Expressing the persistent need for compassion
someone to stop the bleeding
Desiring assistance to halt emotional pain
It's like nails hammered into a coffin when I think of you
Emphasizing the agony of recalling thoughts about the past
