Lyrics
Will there be world enough and time for me to sing that song?
Expressing concern about having enough time to express oneself and sing a particular song.
A voice so silent for so long
Describing a voice that has been silent for an extended period.
For all those years I had to get along
Reflecting on the years of enduring difficulties and challenges.
They told me I was wrong
Recalling being told that one was wrong by others.
I never wanted to belong
Rejecting the desire to conform and belong to societal expectations.
I was so strong
Emphasizing inner strength despite external pressures.
(I lack their smiles and their diamonds
Expressing envy for societal norms and the desire for a fair share of happiness and love.
I lack their happiness and love
-I envy them for all those things
-I never got my fair share of, my fair share of)
-The lenses inside of me that paint the world black
Describing internal struggles, with lenses painting the world negatively and a missing part forming a metaphorical cage.
The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage
-The things I've always been denied
-An early promise that somehow died
-A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
-A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
Repetition emphasizing the restrictive nature of the metaphorical cage.
In all your science of the mind
Reflecting on the limitations of understanding through science, searching for emotions and essence within.
Seeking blind through flesh and bone
-Find the blood inside this stone, whoa
-What I know, I've never shown what I feel, I've always known
Acknowledging hidden emotions, planning personal vengeance, and expressing a sense of loneliness.
I plan my vengeance on my own
-And I was always alone
-(I lack their smiles and their diamonds
Reiterating envy for societal joys and the lack of a fair share.
I lack their happiness and love
-I envy them for all those things
-I never got my fair share of my fair share of)
-The lenses inside of me that paint the world black
Continuing the portrayal of internal struggles and the metaphorical cage.
The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage
-The things I've always been denied
-An early promise that somehow died
-A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
-A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
Repetition emphasizing the persistent growth of the metaphorical cage.
Oh, they tried to get me
Highlighting attempts to impact the individual, asserting that the individual will be remembered.
Oh, they'll never forget me
-The lenses inside of me that paint the world black
Repeating the internal struggles and the metaphorical cage, emphasizing denied promises and growth.
The pools of poison, the scarlet mist, that spill over into rage
-The things I've always been denied
-An early promise that somehow died
-A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
-A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
Concluding with a final repetition of the metaphorical cage, underscoring its pervasive presence.
A missing part of me that grows around me like a cage
