Embracing Redemption: Breaking Free from Self-Blame
Lyrics
Every day is another chance to fill
Every day offers a new opportunity to address and confront
All the graves that I've been digging.
The graves symbolize past mistakes or regrets that need resolution
The hardest part about life is that you're living
The challenge of life is dealing with the consequences of existing in both the past and present
The past and the present,
Reflection on both historical and current aspects of life
The act of forgiving yourself for everything you did
Forgiving oneself for past actions and decisions
But oh back then, you were just a kid.
Acknowledging that in the past, mistakes were made when one was still a child
Stop blaming yourself for everything.
Encouragement to stop self-blame for everything
When your life is a building that you made with mistakes,
Life is compared to a building constructed with mistakes
You have to start from the top or be crushed by the weight,
Starting anew or facing the consequences of past mistakes
Of the brick and the mortar that you founded on faith,
The weight of the structure built on faith and the potential for failure
If your foundation is cracked, then your facade is a waste.
If the foundation is flawed, the entire facade becomes meaningless
And in the deepest part of your dark mind,
Exploring the deepest, darkest thoughts and secrets in one's mind
I know there's things that you wish you could hide.
Acknowledging hidden aspects that one wishes to keep secret
But will come out in other ways.
These hidden aspects will manifest in other ways
Insecurity's addiction's pain.
Connecting insecurity and addiction, which leads to pain
An ode to our happiness, you lie to yourself every day.
Self-deception about happiness as a way to cope with pain
That's how you cover up your pain.
Masking pain by lying to oneself
I know all of this because I used to live that way.
The singer relates to this experience from personal history
When your life is a building that you made with mistakes,
Reiteration of life as a building constructed with mistakes
You have to start from the top or be crushed by the weight
The choice to rebuild or be overwhelmed by the consequences
Of the brick and the mortar that you founded on faith.
Highlighting the weight of one's faith in building life
If your foundation is cracked, then your facade is a waste.
Emphasizing the importance of a strong foundation for a meaningful facade
So don't spend so much of your life
Advice against wasting time on futile pursuits
Wasting water on withering vines,
Using the metaphor of withering vines to represent unproductive endeavors
When you are rotting on the inside.
Highlighting internal decay despite external appearances
There's a dozen in your mind.
Reference to numerous unresolved issues in one's mind
When your life is a building that you made with mistakes,
Reiteration of life as a building constructed with mistakes
You have to start from the top or be crushed by the weight
Choice between rebuilding or succumbing to the weight of mistakes
Of the brick and the mortar that you founded on faith.
Emphasizing the significance of faith in the construction of life
If your foundation is cracked, then your facade is a waste.
Reiterating the impact of a cracked foundation on the facade
All the fears you're hiding in that place,
Addressing the fears hidden within oneself
Is a waste now.
Stating that hiding these fears is now a waste
It's a waste now.
Reiteration that concealing fears is futile
Is a waste now.
Emphasizing the uselessness of hiding fears
