Echoes of Silent Longing: A Portrait of Unspoken Desires
Lyrics
I wish that I could feel
I desire the ability to experience emotions.
Something other than feeling tired
Expressing a wish to feel something other than constant fatigue.
All the time
Feeling tired all the time.
If I continue to
Contemplating the consequences of letting silence dominate.
Let silence fill the room
Reflecting on the impact of silence in a space once shared.
Where we used to lie
Questioning if the absence of noise will bring inner peace.
Will it help you find your peace of mind?
Asking if silence aids in finding peace of mind.
So I became a portrait
Metaphorically becoming an ignored artwork for someone.
Only for you to ignore it
Expressing the feeling of being disregarded despite efforts.
All the flashing lights and
Alluding to attention-grabbing elements and cautionary signals.
Warning signs
Not being vocal or noticeable enough to convey a message.
I guess I wasn't loud enough
Realizing a lack of assertiveness in communication.
I never really had the guts to
Admitting a previous lack of courage to bring about change.
Muster up the strength and change
Acknowledging a failure to summon the strength for change.
I guess it never mattered anyway
Conveying that the lack of effort may not have made a difference.
And you can kiss
Using kissing oneself in the mirror as a metaphor.
Yourself in the mirror
Self-reflection but limited to the superficial, like the lips.
But only on
Emphasizing the limited scope of self-reflection.
Only on the lips
Reiterating the narrow focus of self-knowledge.
So tell me, why'd it have to come to this
Pondering the reasons for the current situation.
I think I've lost my grips on everything
Expressing a sense of losing control over everything.
And nothing at all
Describing a state of confusion and emptiness.
And now my head
Indicating a representation of oneself on the walls.
Is painted on these walls
Symbolizing a mental state captured in art on the walls.
And I have nothing left
Conveying a feeling of having nothing significant remaining.
To bury in my palms
Expressing a sense of emptiness and helplessness.
So I became a portrait
Repeating the theme of becoming an ignored artwork.
Only for you to ignore it
Reiterating the feeling of being overlooked despite efforts.
All the flashing lights and
Referring again to attention-grabbing elements and warnings.
Warning signs
Emphasizing the failure to communicate effectively.
I guess I wasn't loud enough
Acknowledging a past lack of assertiveness.
I never really had the guts to
Reflecting on a historical inability to bring about change.
Muster up the strength and change
Admitting a prior failure to muster the strength for change.
I guess it never mattered anyway
Suggesting that, in the end, it might not have made a difference.
