Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

From the realms of past

Reflecting on experiences or events from the past

My demon's howl

The haunting sound or impact of inner struggles or challenges

Beyond bridges I lit

Metaphorically referencing actions or decisions taken

They learned to fly

The consequences of actions becoming evident

Apparitions, these ghosts of distant memory

Recalling distant memories, possibly with emotional weight

Specters, remnants

Traces or remains of the past that persist

That just will not die

Unresolved issues or challenges that persist despite efforts


All my wrongs

Acknowledging and taking responsibility for past mistakes

My indiscretions, they carry

Mistakes and wrongdoings continue to affect the present

From across

Transgressions extending across the continuum of time

The boundaries of time

Consequences reaching beyond temporal boundaries

The burdens I had left

Difficulties or challenges left for others to bear

For them to hold

Imposing burdens for others to carry in the aftermath

Presented, laid out before my eyes

Confronting the consequences laid out visibly


In their frozen gaze

Facing the enduring impact of past actions through the gaze of memory

The blame, the questions to my lies

Confronting responsibility and accountability for deception

How hard I have tried to bury this

The difficulty of suppressing or forgetting the past

Yet, here they stand before me, phantoms

Confronted by the lasting consequences, represented as phantoms
