Curtains Of Death
Curtains of Solitude: Embracing Darkness and Reclusiveness
Lyrics
Yeah, oh
Expressing affirmation or agreement
Walking home in snow at night
Describing the act of walking home in the snow at night
It's so dark but the stars shines bright
Contrasting darkness with the brightness of stars
When i'm home i'll shut the door
Expressing the action of closing the door upon arriving home
Turn off the lights
Turning off the lights to create darkness
And i'll make sure they don't see me
Ensuring privacy by avoiding being seen
Hiding underneath my blanket
Choosing to hide underneath a blanket
With my blackout curtains
Referring to blackout curtains for additional concealment
Blocking every entrance of light
Blocking any source of external light
Stay inside with no way out
Intentionally staying indoors with no exit
They might forget that i even exist
Fearing being forgotten by others
So i won't let them in
Deciding not to allow others into one's life
These are my curtains of death
Referring to the concealment and isolation as "curtains of death"
Oh, oh
Repeating the affirmation or agreement
There's no way that you'll ever see through them
Stating that the curtains are impenetrable
These are my curtains of death
Reiterating the concept of impenetrable curtains
Oh, oh
Expressing the act of lying in bed and escaping reality through sleep
Just laying in my bed and sleeping away
Repeating the idea of using sleep as a means of escape
Sleeping away
Emphasizing the retreat into sleep as a coping mechanism
These are my curtains of death
Reiterating the reference to the curtains as a symbol of isolation
Oh, oh
Stating again the impenetrability of the curtains
There's no way that you'll ever see through them
Repeating the idea that others cannot see through the curtains
These are my curtains of death
Emphasizing the act of sleeping as a form of escape
Oh, oh
Reiterating the theme of using sleep to avoid reality
Just laying in my bed and sleeping away
Again, highlighting the escape through sleep
Sleeping away
Repeating the idea of sleeping as a way to cope
Maybe one day when i wake up
Expressing a desire for change in the future
I could open up my curtains again, again
Expressing the possibility of opening up to the world again
But that won't for at least a while
Acknowledging that this change won't happen soon
Because i regret everytime, everytime
Regretting past decisions and actions
These are my curtains of death
Repeating the metaphor of curtains as a shield from the world
Oh, oh
Reiterating the impenetrability of the curtains
There's no way that you'll ever see through them
Emphasizing that others cannot understand the hidden emotions
These are my curtains of death
Repeating the concept of the curtains as a protective barrier
Oh, oh
Reiterating the act of lying in bed and avoiding reality through sleep
Just laying in my bed and sleeping away
Emphasizing the continued use of sleep as a coping mechanism
Sleeping away
Repeating the idea of escaping through sleep
These are my curtains of death
Reiterating the symbolism of curtains as a shield from the world
Oh, oh
Emphasizing again the impenetrability of the curtains
There's no way that you'll ever see through them
Repeating the notion that others cannot see through the curtains
These are my curtains of death
Reiterating the metaphor of curtains as a protective barrier
Oh, oh
Emphasizing the continued use of sleep as a means of escape
Just laying in my bed and sleeping away
Repeating the idea of using sleep to avoid reality
Sleeping away
Emphasizing the ongoing retreat into sleep as a coping mechanism
