Sleepwalking
Wandering Shadows: A Reflection on Broken Bonds
Lyrics
What happened to my friends?
Feeling a sense of loss or disconnection from friends.
They're scattered across the land
Friends are physically separated, possibly reflecting emotional distance.
They're always there for an ear or a hand
Friends are supportive, offering a listening ear or assistance.
But I wish I was around them
Expressing a desire to be physically present with friends.
They say "That's just life"
Life is unpredictable; the phrase "That's just life" implies acceptance.
Sometimes I feel like
Experiencing moments of existential contemplation or uncertainty.
My skin
Metaphorically viewing one's skin as a covering, suggesting vulnerability.
Are just pajamas I'm in
Comparing skin to pajamas, possibly feeling a lack of authenticity.
I feel so broken
Feeling emotionally shattered or damaged.
I can't be awoken
Expressing a sense of deep sleep or emotional numbness.
I'm just sleepwalking
Metaphorically "sleepwalking" through life, suggesting detachment.
What happened to my family?
Questioning the state or dynamics of the family relationships.
The people who kind of look like me
Noticing similarities with family members but feeling distant.
They might as well just all be
Family members seem elusive or intangible, like ghosts.
A ghost that I can't see
Feeling a lack of connection or visibility with family.
No I don't mean that
Clarifying a statement about family, denying intentional disregard.
I just feel so unseen in my skin
Expressing a sense of invisibility or being overlooked.
I break my hand against the wall
Physically expressing frustration or pain, possibly metaphorical.
Shadowboxing in the hall
Engaging in symbolic combat or struggle, possibly internal.
I'm still waiting for it to fall
Waiting for something to collapse or change, possibly anticipating a resolution.
