Glass Box
Trapped in a Glass Box: Navigating the Struggle for Connection
Lyrics
Watching closely as they avert their eyes
Observing closely as others avoid making eye contact.
Ignore the boy lost in space
Disregard the boy who seems lost and disconnected.
Let him drown in his own thoughts unkind
Allow him to be engulfed in his negative thoughts.
Drain all the hope left in his mind
Remove any remaining optimism from his mind.
The only remedy is to shut the door
The only solution is to isolate oneself by closing off the outside world.
Pull closed the curtains, and hear no more
Block out external influences and avoid hearing more.
All the joy that comes from love, it suffocates
Expressing that the happiness derived from love can be overwhelming.
Wonder if I'll ever feel that way
Contemplating whether the narrator will ever experience such overwhelming joy.
Because a look from the outside feels like I'm trapped in a box on the wrong side
Feeling confined and misunderstood when judged from an external perspective.
A look from the inside and I feel it is my fault
When viewed from within, acknowledging a sense of personal responsibility for the confinement.
Stand tall and be strong these wall won't let you fall
Encouragement to stand strong, but acknowledging the possibility of a fall.
Until, of course, you do
Despite efforts to stand tall, eventually succumbing to pressure.
Cracked under pressure, the water pours right in
Under intense pressure, emotions overflow like water breaking through a dam.
Catch your breath and submerge
Take a moment to recover after facing challenges.
Because a look from the outside feels like I'm trapped in a box on the wrong side
Feeling trapped and misunderstood when seen from an external viewpoint.
A look from the inside and I feel it is my fault
Internally accepting blame and responsibility for the perceived confinement.
Inside this room I feel like I can't hardly breathe
Expressing difficulty breathing within the confined space.
Fog up the glass inside this box
Metaphorically fogging up the glass, creating an obstacle to clear communication.
Hope one day some time soon I will talk to you
Hopeful for future communication but uncertain when it will occur.
But until then I'll just make do...
Making the best of the current situation until communication is possible.
