Staring Death in the Eye
Confronting Shadows: Red Reaper's Journey through Darkness
Lyrics
Living life a way through darkness
Living in a state of darkness and uncertainty.
Constant pain no way to control it
Enduring constant pain with no means of controlling it.
Mental strife, leaves a tartness
Experiencing mental conflict that leaves a bitter taste.
Polluted mind, thoughts are toxic
Having a polluted mind with toxic thoughts.
I think back again, my mind snaps back
Reflecting on past experiences where the mind snaps back.
Come to senses, no undoing
Regaining senses but unable to undo past actions.
A bright white light, surrounded by black
Encountering a bright white light in a dark environment.
Brink of death for my close minded viewing
Approaching the brink of death with a narrow perspective.
As i'm wielding my choice of mend
Wielding the power to choose a path of healing.
Completely blinded by the trend
Being blinded by societal trends and influences.
Soon i'll be flying high
Anticipating a state of euphoria or freedom.
Above the clouds, above the sky
Imagining a transcendent experience above worldly troubles.
But no one will really know
Expressing the loneliness of personal struggles.
With the devil i stood toe to toe
Confronting inner demons symbolized by the devil.
Where life and death collide
Describing a point where life and death intersect.
I stare death right in the eye
Directly facing the inevitability of death.
Pain sets in now my life is in
Experiencing pain as a consequence, life hanging in the balance.
Agony my blood is cold and
Feeling agony, with blood running cold.
If I die may my pain be broken
Expressing a desire for release from pain through death.
I want to live, please someone save me
Pleading for salvation, a desire to live.
Will somebody even feel sorrow?
Questioning if others will feel sorrow for the struggles.
Will they remember me even tomorrow
Doubting if one's existence will be remembered.
As cold as my mind is, it has its weakness
Acknowledging emotional coldness with a hidden vulnerability.
Deep down inside it still misses meekness
Recognizing a yearning for gentleness beneath the surface.
As i'm wielding my choice of mend
Wielding the power to choose healing, repeating the struggle.
Completely blinded by the trend
Continuing to be influenced and blinded by societal trends.
Soon i'll be flying high
Expecting a future state of elevated happiness.
Above the clouds, above the sky
Envisioning transcendent experiences above worldly troubles.
But no one will really know
Expressing the isolation of personal struggles.
With the devil i stood toe to toe
Confronting inner demons once again, repeating the cycle.
Where life and death collide
Describing the intersection of life and death revisited.
I stare death right in the eye
Facing death directly once more, emphasizing inevitability.
As i'm wielding my choice of mend
Reiterating the power to choose a path of healing.
Completely blinded by the trend
Continuing to be blinded by societal trends and influences.
Soon i'll be flying high
Anticipating a future state of euphoria or freedom.
Above the clouds, above the sky
Imagining a transcendent experience above worldly troubles.
But no one will really know
Expressing the loneliness of personal struggles once more.
With the devil i stood toe to toe
Confronting inner demons again, repeating the ongoing battle.
Where life and death collide
Describing the recurring intersection of life and death.
I stare death right in the eye
Directly facing and accepting the reality of death.
