The Light In Me
Embracing Light: Unveiling the Shadows Within
Lyrics
Words don’t mean what they used to
Words have evolved in meaning, losing their original significance.
White flags wave before the battle’s begun
Symbolic surrender before facing challenges or conflicts.
Do you fear what’s inside of you?
Exploring and confronting one's inner fears.
Tell me now, what are you running from?
Seeking honesty about what someone is avoiding or escaping.
And I won’t waste my time anymore
Choosing not to waste time on unproductive matters.
You shadow of a man, the man I knew before
Referring to a diminished version of a person from the past.
And I won’t let you take that part of me
Protecting a significant aspect of oneself from being taken.
The darkness in your soul eats the light in me
Addressing the impact of someone else's darkness on the speaker's light.
I will carry on remembering the fall
Committing to move forward while remembering a previous downfall.
You will still be gone pretending I’m a ghost
Acknowledging the absence of someone, possibly due to denial.
And, looking back, I see you took more than I gave
Reflecting on an imbalanced relationship where more was taken than given.
But made the light in me
Highlighting personal growth despite the challenges imposed by someone.
Careless, lust-driven tenderness
Describing affection tainted by recklessness and desire.
Built a home in your selfishness
Building a connection in a self-centered and inconsiderate manner.
You fed me tales of what was to be
Recounting stories of a promised future that may never materialize.
And I believed when you said you loved me
Expressing belief in love based on deceptive declarations.
And I won’t waste my time anymore
Reiterating the decision not to invest time in unworthy pursuits.
You shadow of a man, the man I knew before
Revisiting the idea of a changed or diminished person from the past.
And I won’t let you take that part of me
Guarding against the loss of a valuable part of oneself.
The darkness in your soul eats the light in me
Addressing the consuming impact of darkness on the speaker's light.
I will carry on remembering the fall
Persisting in moving forward while recalling a past failure.
You will still be gone pretending I’m a ghost
Acknowledging the continued absence of someone, even if ignored.
And, looking back, I see you took more than I gave
Reflecting on an imbalanced relationship where more was taken than given.
But made the light in me
Affirming personal growth despite challenges imposed by someone.
Oh, emptiness is heavy
Describing the weight of emptiness and its patient nature.
But it’s only space that’s waiting patiently
Highlighting that emptiness is a void waiting to be filled.
Are you whole, or are you hollow
Pondering whether someone is complete or lacking purpose.
As you wander in the dark so aimlessly?
Questioning aimless wandering in darkness.
I will carry on remembering the fall
Committing to moving forward while remembering a previous downfall.
You will still be gone pretending I’m a ghost
Acknowledging the continued absence of someone, even if denied.
And, looking back, I see you took more than I gave
Reflecting on an imbalanced relationship where more was taken than given.
But made the light in me
Affirming personal growth despite challenges imposed by someone.
