Descending into Madness
Surviving the Abyss: Navigating the Depths of Despair
Lyrics
So much pain steals our voice,
Expressing the overwhelming pain that renders individuals silent.
Steals the little good that we've lived.
Highlighting how pain can diminish the positive experiences in life.
Do you know what is left of us?
Pondering on what remains of one's identity amidst suffering.
Simple targets, strolling around.
Describing individuals as easy targets wandering aimlessly.
Descending into madness,
Acknowledging a descent into madness, where evil resides.
Where this evil dwells within.
Locating the source of malevolence within oneself.
It's that long lonely road
Referring to life as a lengthy, solitary journey.
We all must tread alone.
Emphasizing the inevitability of facing challenges alone.
Allow me to speak and not my scars,
Requesting the opportunity to express oneself apart from the scars.
They are supporting actors,
Depicting scars as supporting actors or insignificant extras in life.
No, better, ordinary extras.
Minimizing the significance of scars in one's narrative.
Allow me the speak and not my scars,
Reiterating the desire to speak beyond the influence of scars.
That should not even,
Stating that scars should not have a presence in one's life.
Be here be begin with.
Asserting that scars shouldn't be part of one's existence from the start.
To think these ills define me,
Criticizing the idea of defining oneself by the negatives or hardships.
It's the worst of crimes.
Labeling the act of letting difficulties define one's identity as a grave offense.
It's giving the trophy,
Comparing assigning identity to hardships as awarding a trophy to the cause of suffering.
To the executioner.
Metaphorically attributing blame to the one causing pain.
If this is all about living,
Reducing the complexity of life to a matter of survival.
Boil it down to survival.
Suggesting a perspective shift towards survival rather than elaborate living.
Last year I died
Reflecting on a past experience of personal demise.
But this year I won't.
Asserting a determination to overcome challenges in the present year.
