Beat of the War Drums
Embracing Shadows: Battling Inner Demons through the Beat of War Drums
Lyrics
The sun is nearly gone
The day is ending, and darkness is approaching
All lights are down
All sources of light are extinguished
Things have to be done
There are tasks that must be accomplished
I'll get up off the ground
Rising from a low point without making any noise
Making no sound
Acting discreetly and quietly
I am the chosen one
Feeling a sense of being chosen or special
Darkness awaits, cold
Anticipating darkness, a state of coldness
Fallen into the deepest hole
Fallen into a deep emotional pit
No one to call
No one to seek help from
After all, I'm on my own
Being alone despite everything
Chains of my guilt
Feeling burdened by guilt and restricted
I feel a chill
Sensing a shiver or discomfort
Hate and disgust, vaguely but surely
Experiencing hate and disgust, though not clearly defined
I am not allowed to be weak
Not allowed to show weakness
Unwilling to leave
Unwilling to abandon a situation or person
Hunted by constant grief
Constantly pursued by grief
Striking - Every endeavor
Engaging in intense efforts and actions
Driving - This endless pain
Enduring endless pain and suffering
Grinding - A piece of my soul
Experiencing the grinding away of a part of one's soul
Pounding - I can't move no more
Feeling a relentless, overwhelming force
This is what I've been waiting for
Reaching a long-awaited moment
I found what I've been searching for
Discovering what has been sought for
Losing count
Losing track of something
Turning around
Turning around or changing direction
Upside down
Feeling disoriented or confused
I just can't see
Unable to perceive clearly
Why me?
Questioning why this is happening to oneself
How could it be?
Expressing disbelief or confusion about the situation
I really need
Expressing a genuine need for someone similar
Someone like me
Desiring companionship with someone who understands
I don't know why I keep moving my body
Expressing uncertainty about one's actions
I hear the beat of the war drums in my head
Hearing the metaphorical sound of war drums, possibly symbolizing conflict or struggle
