Begin Again
Unveiling the Depths: Shelby Jean's Odyssey of Liberation and Resilience
Lyrics
A curious mind starts out with a question
A journey of curiosity begins with asking questions.
Colorless walls and an open door
Surrounded by colorless walls and facing an open door.
Is the reflection what you'd been hoping for?
Reflecting on whether the outcome matches expectations.
Submerged for a time
Being submerged or immersed for a certain period.
Falling into the hollowness
Falling into a state of emptiness or void.
the blackened water and untainted skin
Contrasting elements of darkness (blackened water) and purity (untainted skin).
I breathe it in
Inhaling the experience or situation.
As the ripples begin again
Observing the consequences as disturbances or ripples occur again.
I feel it around me the chains on my body
Sensing the restrictions or constraints physically.
I feel it inside my mind there's nowhere left to hide
Feeling trapped within one's own thoughts with no escape.
I feel it around me the chains on my body
Reiterating the physical and mental constraints.
I feel it rising up will it ever be enough
Experiencing a rising pressure, questioning if it will ever be sufficient.
They keep stripping back your self expression
Facing a removal or suppression of one's self-expression.
They want you to believe you're free to leave
Being urged to believe in a false sense of freedom.
I don't understand how you can't see your lack of empathy
Expressing confusion about the inability to recognize a lack of empathy.
Oh, here we go again
Anticipating a recurring cycle or pattern.
Submerged for a time
Repeating the experience of being submerged or immersed.
Falling into the hollowness
Falling into emptiness once again.
the blackened water and untainted skin
Contrasting elements again: darkness and purity.
I breathe it in
Inhaling the repeated experience.
As the ripples begin again
Observing the consequences of the repeated disturbance.
I feel it around me the chains on my body
Feeling the physical constraints persisting.
I feel it inside my mind there's nowhere left to hide
Sensing no mental escape from the constraints.
I feel it around me the chains on my body
Reiterating the feeling of being chained physically.
I feel it rising up will it ever be enough
Experiencing a growing pressure, questioning its sufficiency.
You wanted to see me drown
Facing a desire from others to witness personal struggle and failure.
You held me on the ground
Experiencing external forces keeping one down.
I've fallen down, fallen down
Falling down repeatedly.
But I won't let you steal my crown
Asserting the determination not to let others diminish one's worth.
I feel it around me the chains on my body
Feeling the ongoing physical constraints.
I feel it inside my mind there's nowhere left to hide
Sensing the inescapable nature of mental confinement.
I feel it around me the chains on my body
Reiterating the persistent feeling of being physically chained.
I feel it rising up will it ever be enough
Questioning whether the mounting pressure will ever be sufficient.
