Lyrics
Tides drowned me in luxury
Tides overwhelmed me with materialistic indulgence
On my side, taking it all on me
Despite challenges, I bear the burden alone
And they cry out of their jealousy
Others express bitterness fueled by envy
But I don't care cause life's a dream
Indifferent because life is transient and illusory
Yet in this lonely castle I own
In my isolated fortress
Without a telephone
Devoid of communication tools
Nothing could turn it into home
Unable to transform it into a comforting abode
Ooh, I hold the whole world in my hands
I possess immense power and control
But no one saves it when my shoulders give up
No one intervenes when I am exhausted
Ooh, there's so much wasted love
Abundance of love wasted
I bought my pleasure but forgot my luck
I pursued pleasure but neglected luck
Oh, what a misery
Expressing profound unhappiness
A requiem for my soul
A lament for the state of my soul
Oh, all my victories,
All my triumphs have left room for emptiness
Made space for one more hole
Successes have created a void
Sleep and dream, not like me
Advocating for restful sleep, unlike myself
Who don't needs a scene
Rejecting the need for dramatic scenes
Which sure as hell will feel like
Anticipating a situation that feels like a sudden loss of luster
Everything just fell out of gleam
Everything appears to have lost its brilliance
Wake up and count my stars
Conscious of my blessings before losing emotional resilience
Before I lose my folded heart
Preserving my vulnerable heart
Yet in this lonely castle I own
Still, in my solitary fortress
Without a telephone
Lacking a means of communication
Nothing could turn it into home
Unable to transform it into a welcoming home
Feels like I was born
Feels like I was destined
To make a change in front of every door
To instigate change at every opportunity
Leaving myself
Abandoning my true self
And learn to feed the corpses those people made
Learning to confront the consequences of others' actions
Please catch me quick before I fall
Seeking rescue before succumbing to a downfall
Ooh, I hold the whole world in my hands
I wield tremendous influence
But no one saves it when my shoulders give up
No assistance when I'm unable to bear the load
Ooh, there's so much wasted love
Abundance of love squandered
I bought my pleasure but forgot my luck
Pursued pleasure at the expense of luck
Oh, what a misery
Expressing profound unhappiness
A requiem for my soul
A requiem for the state of my soul
Oh, all my victories
All my triumphs cannot fill the void
Could never close that hole
The emptiness remains unresolved
