Lyrics
Arguing with the space that you haven't been in for some time
Struggling with the emptiness or absence that has been present for a while.
Phantom pain
Experiencing lingering pain from something that is no longer physically there.
Rewrite the lines inside my head and make it right
Attempting to mentally revise thoughts or memories to make them correct.
But nothing changes in real life
Despite mental efforts, no significant changes occur in the actual, tangible world.
Nothing changes in real life
Reiteration of the lack of change in the external reality.
Retrace my steps, digging up the hatchet that I left
Going back in memory to retrieve unresolved issues or conflicts.
Cause I can't seem to bury all the words that I've left unsaid
Struggling to bury unspoken words and emotions represented by a metaphorical "hatchet."
When they're always screaming in my head every night
The persistent, loud inner thoughts and regrets that echo every night.
I'll just pretend they went down without a fight
Pretending that the unresolved issues resolved themselves without a struggle.
Because I've always had a bark without a bite
Acknowledging a tendency to express bravado without taking meaningful action.
Arguing with the space that you haven't been in for some time
Repeating the theme of arguing with the absence or emptiness that persists.
Phantom pain
Reiterating the experience of lingering pain from something no longer present.
Rewrite the lines inside my head and make it right
Continuing efforts to mentally revise thoughts and make them right.
But nothing changes in real life
Emphasizing the lack of tangible change in real-life despite mental efforts.
Nothing changes in real life
Repeating the idea that external circumstances remain unchanged.
I guess my vision has always been better in hindsight
Reflecting on hindsight and the tendency to see things more clearly after the fact.
Why am I so caught up in the past?
Questioning the preoccupation with past events and experiences.
Cutting fingers always deeper on broken glass
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, deepening wounds on emotional or psychological "broken glass."
I'll strive to find some peace through all of this
Expressing a commitment to finding inner peace amidst difficulties.
Can't force these shattered pieces to fit
Acknowledging the inability to force broken aspects of life to fit together perfectly.
