Lyrics
He told me sweet lies of sweet loves
Deceived by false expressions of love
Heavy with the burden of the truth
Weighed down by the heaviness of the truth
And he spoke of his dreams
He shared his aspirations
Broken by the burden
Dreams shattered by the weight of life's challenges
Broken by the burden of his youth
Overwhelmed by the burdens of his past
"Fourteen years," he said
Referring to a significant time period
"I couldn't look into the sun
Unable to face reality or truth directly
She saw him laying at the end of my gun"
A person witnessing a tragic event involving a gun
Hungry for life
Desiring a fulfilling life
And thirsty for the distant river
Longing for something distant and unattainable
I remember his hands
Recollection of physical touch and connection
And the way the mountains looked
Reflecting on the beauty of nature
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
Expressing the captivating gaze and sincerity
Hungry for life
Intensifying the desire for a meaningful life
And thirsty for the distant river
Continued thirst for something distant
Like the scar of age
Comparing emotional scars to the marks of age
Written all over my face
Signs of personal struggles evident on the face
The war is still raging inside of me
Internal conflicts persisting like a war
I still feel the chill
Feeling a lingering coldness from past experiences
As I reveal my shame to you
Revealing one's vulnerabilities and mistakes
I wear it like a tattoo
Symbolic comparison of emotional scars to a tattoo
I wear it like a tattoo
Reiterating the enduring nature of emotional marks
I wear it like a tattoo
Embracing and displaying emotional scars proudly
