Lyrics
Time goes by and I can see
Reflecting on the passage of time and gaining insight.
All the things I want to be
Expressing aspirations and desires for personal growth.
When I open wide my eyes
Opening one's eyes metaphorically to truth and reality.
They tell me no lies
Emphasizing a desire for honesty and straightforwardness.
And I can feel it
Sensory experience of tension or pressure releasing.
The spring unwinding in my head
Describing a mental state with a metaphor of a spring unwinding.
And if you think you like me living, baby
Addressing the potential appreciation of the speaker's life.
You're gonna love me when I'm dead
Hinting at posthumous recognition or admiration.
If you could search there, you would find
Suggesting internal turmoil or confusion.
Screaming chaos in my mind
Imagining a chaotic and distressed mental state.
All the thoughts I've thought before
Reflecting on past thoughts and experiences.
Behind the closing door
Symbolizing the concealment of thoughts or emotions.
Give me a reason
Requesting justification or motivation for doubt.
Why I should be in any doubt
Expressing a diminishing sense of uncertainty.
All the doubts are fading, baby
Declaring increased confidence and self-assurance.
The walls are down, I'm breaking out
Breaking free from inhibitions or restrictions.
Alright!
An exclamation, possibly indicating a positive breakthrough.
Lightning tears apart the sky
Depicting a dramatic and intense natural event.
Burning warriors fight and die
Describing a fierce and tumultuous battle scenario.
Volcanoes roaring, spewing fire
Using volcanic imagery to convey intense emotions.
Time is spinning sideways
Describing a disorienting or chaotic experience of time.
Only one way to explain what's come to pass
Suggesting self-reflection through looking in the mirror.
I've been looking in the mirror, baby
Implying a transformation or change in the speaker's life.
And now I'm living in the black
Indicating a shift to a mysterious or unknown state.
