A Return to the Earth Below
A Journey through Despair: Oceans of Slumber's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Broken glass and I am holding my breath
Feeling fragile and tense, trying to hold back emotions
Hands are trembling
Experiencing trembling hands
I thought today would be like any other
Expecting a regular day but facing sudden confinement or pressure
But the bell jars coming down
A feeling of being trapped or enclosed is imminent
A sudden sinking and my heart is falling
Sudden and intense emotional descent or turmoil
Right down into the ground
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed and sinking into despair
I feel the panic inside overtaking
Anxiety taking over, overpowering any determination
Any resolve I thought I'd found
Losing previously held determination or resolution
On the ledge we danced, now we are falling
Previously enjoying life, now experiencing a downfall or crisis
And the walls are closing in
Feeling trapped as circumstances worsen
When the darkness gathers, we are crawling
Struggling when confronted by darkness or difficulties
And the worms are coming in
Facing additional troubles or negativity
My thoughts are racing and
Overwhelmed by racing thoughts and intense emotional pain
My heart is shattered
Feeling emotionally shattered or broken
Like a bird caught in a cage
Trapped and unable to escape like a captive bird
Like the sky that fights
Struggling to prevent chaos from taking over
The storm from overtaking
Attempting to maintain a peaceful state but failing
The serene I thought I'd found
Hoping for tranquility that seems elusive
It wait's for me oh, it never really left
The elusive peace remains within reach but out of grasp
It takes hold of me
Being ensnared by the elusive peace
And it drags me straight to Hell
Dragged into a dark and tormenting state
On the ledge we danced, now we are falling
From a state of enjoyment to falling into despair
And the walls are closing in
Feeling trapped by worsening circumstances
When the darkness gathers, we are crawling
Struggling during difficult times
And the worms are coming in
Facing additional troubles or negativity
On the ledge we danced, now we are falling
From enjoyment to a downfall
And the walls are closing in
Feeling trapped by worsening circumstances
When the darkness gathers, we are crawling
Struggling during difficult times
And the worms are coming in
Facing additional troubles or negativity
In only a moment the tides have all changed
Rapid changes wiping away previous efforts
Erasing the work and toil of previous days
Efforts and hard work erased suddenly
I lean into the void
Acceptance of an inevitable emptiness or darkness
That I always knew would come
Embracing an anticipated darkness or emptiness
To reclaim my light
Trying to reclaim one's positivity or inner light
I have spent my whole life running
Lifelong attempt to escape or avoid problems
And I have tried
Trying persistently to run away from personal issues
I have tried to flee from myself
Attempting to escape from one's own self or identity
I could never, no
Realization of inability to endure difficulties
I could never weather the storm
Unable to withstand the growing challenges
Rising, that was rising
Intensifying inner turmoil or conflict
Rising from within me
Emergence of internal turmoil or conflict
It doesn't matter the time in between
The duration of suffering doesn't diminish its impact
Darkness carved it's mark in me
Darkness leaving a lasting impact on one's life
Carved it's mark in everything
Darkness affecting everything in one's life
But I'm done, I'm done running
Deciding to stop running away from challenges
I stand in the rain here I stand
Standing strong in adversity
Purge my fear and make my claim
Confronting fears and asserting ownership
