Leave Me to Rot
Imprisoned Within: A Soul's Lament
Lyrics
Myself eclipsed
Feeling overshadowed by my own self.
A darkness plagues my mind,
Experiencing a pervasive darkness affecting my thoughts.
I’ve felt this a thousand times.
Recurring emotions or experiences.
I cannot trust myself,
Lack of self-trust.
Wishing I was someone else.
Desiring to be someone else, possibly to escape difficulties.
Just give me a reason
Seeking a reason, any reason, for the current state of mind.
One reason at all
Expressing a plea for a single reason to endure the mental turmoil.
My mind’s a prison.
Characterizing the mind as a confining prison.
life sentence feels like home.
Feeling accustomed to a life sentence, suggesting a resigned acceptance.
These bars gripped tightly,
Feeling trapped, with a metaphorical reference to prison bars.
My fingers scratch the walls.
Physically trying to break free, but facing resistance.
My cellmate is a monster,
Referring to internal struggles or personal demons as a "cellmate."
But I’m in here alone.
Emphasizing the loneliness within personal struggles.
My fingers scratch the walls.
Repetition of the struggle to break free, underlining the difficulty.
But I’m in here alone.
Reiterating the isolation within the struggle.
These walls are closing in,
Feeling emotionally and mentally confined.
And the dust fills my lungs.
Experiencing a sense of suffocation, possibly from internal turmoil.
Living with all my sins.
Living with the consequences of one's actions or mistakes.
Leave me to rot.
Expressing a desire to be abandoned or left alone to deteriorate.
Leave me to rot.
Repetition of the plea to be left alone, possibly for self-destruction.
There’s a voice inside my head,
Internal conflict represented by a disturbing voice in the mind.
It speaks a vicious message.
Describing the negativity or harm communicated by the internal voice.
I have a life to live
Acknowledging the existence of a life to be lived despite challenges.
With a noose around my neck.
Symbolizing a burdensome existence, possibly due to regrets.
This noose around my neck
Repetition of the metaphorical noose, representing a destructive force.
How can I live like this?
Raising the question of how to continue living under such conditions.
The stranger never left.
The persistent presence of a troubling or unknown force or emotion.
In this prison, left for dead.
Feeling abandoned and left to suffer in a metaphorical prison.
