Hell Here
Unveiling Shadows: Navigating Inner Turmoil Through Saving Vice's 'Hell Here'
Lyrics
Hold back the tide
Expressing the need to resist overwhelming challenges.
And you're the tip of the spear
Comparing someone to the forefront of a conflict or challenge.
Always and only the words you fear
Highlighting a tendency to focus on and be affected by feared words.
Well one needs you well no one needs you
Reflecting on a sense of being unwanted or unneeded by others.
I distanced myself from what I needed most
Acknowledging a deliberate distance from essential needs.
Now it envelopes me again
Feeling surrounded by a previously avoided situation.
Passive aggression in the wake of regret
Describing passive aggression emerging after feeling regret.
All the things I've left behind I am my own thorn in my side
Regretting personal choices and their lingering impact.
Circumstances allow the world to spin backwards
Noting that circumstances can lead to unexpected outcomes.
No one pays who truly deserves
Commenting on the injustice of deserving individuals not getting their due.
And those who know nothing can understand nothing
Stating the difficulty of understanding without knowledge.
I've been bitter for so many months
Expressing long-term bitterness.
Watching the stars blink out one by one
Metaphorically observing the fading of positive elements in life.
Clawing at my eyes, screaming at the sun
Describing emotional turmoil and frustration.
One day I swear I'll be loud enough
Aspiring to be heard and recognized in the future.
Plunge your hands back into the filth
Encouraging facing and dealing with unpleasant situations.
Fight with all of your self control
Advocating self-control in facing challenges.
Mind over matter this temple you once called your own
Reflecting on the control one once had over their own life.
I don't know how I couldn't see through the cracks in my shell
Realizing a lack of awareness regarding personal vulnerabilities.
I don't know how they didn't see that I was trapped in myself
Noting others' failure to perceive one's internal struggles.
I need my skin replaced
Expressing a desire for personal transformation.
Don't let them tell you who you are
Rejecting external influences that dictate one's identity.
What's right what's wrong
Questioning conventional notions of right and wrong.
The world does not bow to the whim of those who cannot even think for themselves
Asserting that the world doesn't conform to those lacking independent thought.
This bridge between our souls has burned
Declaring a rupture in a deep connection between individuals.
It's not safe to walk on
Warning against trusting a damaged relationship.
This bridge has burned
Reiterating the irreversible damage to the connection.
It's not safe, it's not safe it has burned
Emphasizing the danger and permanence of the damaged relationship.
It's not safe to walk on
Repeating the caution against trusting the now unsafe connection.
I've been bitter for so many months
Reiterating persistent bitterness over an extended period.
Watching the stars blink out one by one
Repeating the metaphor of fading stars and personal distress.
Clawing at my eyes screaming at the sun
Reiterating emotional turmoil and frustration.
One day I swear I'll be loud enough
Reaffirming the aspiration to be heard and recognized.
You'll never know your best days until they've come and gone
Reflecting on the difficulty of recognizing the best moments until they pass.
So dig yourself out from your hole in the floor
Advising self-improvement and escape from a negative situation.
How many days have you just wished that you'd done more
Pondering missed opportunities and the desire for greater action.
