Darker Days
Embracing Shadows: Miss May I's Poetic Journey Through Darker Days
Lyrics
I have dreams that haunt me
The speaker experiences haunting dreams.
Dreams that make reality seem like a plague
These dreams make reality feel like a plague or something undesirable.
I can't block out my memory
The speaker is unable to block out certain memories.
My sorrow won't take back
The speaker's sorrow cannot undo the past.
Oh it won't take back these days
The sorrow does not erase the difficult days.
I could burn this world down
The speaker contemplates destructive actions, symbolized by burning the world down.
Sit back and watch it warm my tears
Despite destruction, the emotional residue remains.
But all those ashes will always stick around
The consequences of the destructive act linger.
There is no way, to set a-blaze, all of my darker days
Expressing the impossibility of erasing all difficult times.
All of my darker days
Repetition emphasizes the enduring nature of darker days.
All of my darker days
-There is no way, to set ablaze, all of my darker days
Reiterating the challenge of overcoming difficult experiences.
I will never leave it behind
The speaker refuses to forget or move past these challenges.
When the nightmare is my past
Even when the past is a nightmare, it shapes the speaker's present.
This is my future
The speaker acknowledges that the past influences their future.
I am now walking on this glass
Metaphorically walking on glass represents navigating a fragile and dangerous path.
I'm always walking on glass
The constant feeling of vulnerability and risk.
Walking on this glass
Continuation of the metaphor, emphasizing the delicate nature of life.
Life could shatter underneath of me while I walk,
-on this glass so carefully
-Falling to my death could only save me
Falling to death is seen as a potential escape from the nightmares.
From these nightmares, nightmares that made me
Nightmares have significantly impacted the speaker's life.
Nightmares that made me
Repetition emphasizes the lasting effect of the nightmares.
Nightmares that made me
-Falling to my death could only save me
Death is viewed as a possible release from ongoing suffering.
From these nightmares, nightmares that made me
Reiteration of the impact of nightmares on the speaker.
I will never leave it behind
The refusal to forget or move beyond the nightmares.
When the nightmare is my past
Even when the past is a nightmare, it shapes the speaker's present.
This is my future
The acknowledgment that the past influences their future.
I am now walking on this glass
Continuation of the metaphor of walking on glass, symbolizing fragility.
I will never leave it behind
The determination not to forget or move beyond challenging experiences.
When the nightmare is my past
Even when the past is a nightmare, it shapes the speaker's present.
This is my future
The acknowledgment that the past influences their future.
I am now walking on this glass
Continuation of the metaphor of walking on glass, symbolizing fragility and risk.
