Trap Door
Facing the Abyss: Ozzy Osbourne's Powerful Reflection on Denial and Consequence
Lyrics
Can you see your reflection
Reflection on oneself, self-awareness
False strength, hollow protection
False strength and empty protection
Run from pain and rejection
Running away from pain and rejection
The truth stabs again
Confrontation with truth, facing harsh reality
Till the skin is broken
Physical harm until the skin breaks
And the cut is open
An open wound, vulnerability
And the words once spoken
Words spoken fade away, lose significance
Just fade away
Fading away of past words and promises
Too late, standing on the trap door
A realization of being too late and standing on the brink of consequences
Too late, standing on the trap door
-Too late, standing on the trap door
-Too late, standing on the trap door
-Big head leads to confusion
Overconfidence leading to confusion
Strong heart pumps up delusion
Strong but misguided beliefs
Tough talk, one voice communion
Unity in voice but disconnected from reality
Medicate the pain
Using substances to numb emotional pain
Justify your ego
Justifying one's ego and actions
Living with denial
Living in denial, refusing to accept the truth
And the thoughts so vile
Dark and harmful thoughts that linger
Won't fade away
Unpleasant thoughts that won't fade away
Too late, standing on the trap door
Reiteration of the realization of being too late and facing consequences
Too late, standing on the trap door
-Too late, standing on the trap door
-Too late, standing on the trap door
-It's coming
An impending danger or consequence
You're falling
The inevitability of falling into trouble
You're on your own with no one left to blame
Isolation and taking responsibility without blaming others
Can't sleep 'cause you've made your own bed
Suffering the consequences of one's actions
The sentence of the helpless
A situation where one is helpless and condemned
Sink deep to the trial in your head
Deep introspection and self-judgment
The court of the selfish
A selfish mindset on trial in one's mind
Why? Tell me why? Can't evade or escape the reality
A question about the inevitability of facing reality
A true lie and a broken promise
Deception and unfulfilled promises
A Judas and a doubting Thomas
References to betrayal and skepticism
A tragedy just to keep you honest
A tragic situation to maintain honesty
Guilty always fall
Those who are guilty will face consequences
Through the trap door
Emphasis on the trap door as a symbol of impending doom
Fear the trap door
-Through the trap door
-The trap door, the trap door
-No fear, too scared to look up
Fear of looking up, avoiding reality
Can't win, nothing but bad luck
Continuous streak of bad luck
Clock ticks, your time to face up
The inevitability of facing consequences
You can't run for long
Running from problems becomes impossible
When your world is broken
A shattered world and open vulnerability
Your trap door is open
The unavoidable exposure of one's flaws
The very words you choke on
The words that contribute to one's downfall
Just fade away
Fading away of words and promises
Too late, standing on the trap door
Final acknowledgment of being too late and facing the consequences
Too late, standing on the trap door
-Too late, standing on the trap door
-Too late, standing on the trap door
