Dying Light
Embracing Shadows: Navigating Despair in Silence
Lyrics
Quietly sink from the surface, this can't be real
Feeling a gradual descent or loss of control, doubting the reality of the situation.
Ran away from a call unanswered
Escaping from a responsibility or obligation that was not responded to.
I don't believe
Expressing disbelief or skepticism.
Suffocate in open air, it's killing me
Struggling despite being in an environment that should provide freedom, feeling trapped.
I wear the scars and the wounds
Bearing the emotional and physical marks despite not being at fault or responsible.
Though I've not done a thing
Despite innocence, carrying burdens and pain.
It's killing me, this dying light
Expressing the unbearable pain caused by a fading source of hope or vitality.
The strength to continue has left me tonight
Feeling depleted of the strength needed to persevere, particularly evident tonight.
It's killing me, this voice inside
Struggling with an inner voice or conflict causing distress.
I fight to give in as it eats me alive
Fighting against surrendering to the consuming effect of this internal struggle.
What is this torture?
Questioning the nature of the torment experienced.
Is this all I am?
Reflecting on whether the torment defines one's entire existence.
Why must I prove myself again and again?
Expressing frustration at the need to repeatedly validate oneself.
It's killing me, this dying light
Reiterating the pain caused by the fading vitality or hope.
The strength to continue has left me tonight
Reiterating the depletion of strength, especially noticeable tonight.
It's killing me, this voice inside
Continuing to struggle with an internal conflicting voice or turmoil.
I fight to give in as it eats me alive
Resisting succumbing to the overwhelming impact of this inner conflict.
Eats me alive
Emphasizing the consuming nature of the struggle.
Into hopelessness, I fall
Falling deeper into a state of despair.
Into helplessness, I fall
Falling further into a state of inability to help oneself.
It's killing me, this dying light
Reiterating the unbearable agony caused by the fading source of hope or vitality.
The strength to continue has left me tonight
Reiterating the feeling of being drained of strength, especially tonight.
It's killing me, this voice inside
Continuing to grapple with the distress caused by internal conflict or torment.
I fight to give in as it eats me alive
Struggling to resist being consumed by the overwhelming turmoil within.
