Dear Alcatraz
Silence The Wolves: Unveiling the Haunting Tale of 'Dear Alcatraz'
Lyrics
Fighting silence and all the things that hide in the dark
Fighting against silence and hidden fears in the darkness.
Beautiful graveyards and heartless narrations
Referring to attractive but lifeless places and heartless stories.
Secret vengeance for reckless accusations
Seeking revenge for false accusations made without thinking.
You ask me to marry you, bury you
Expression of a request or demand to both marry and bury someone.
You ask me to marry you, bury you
-If I bury you
Asking for assurance that burying the person won't lead to haunting dreams, seeking peace.
Do you promise me
-You won't haunt my dreams
-And finally let me sleep
-Say goodbye to you
-Could you swear to me
-You would quiet the screams
-And finally let me sleep
-Dead amongst the living
Being emotionally dead in the midst of the living.
You tell me you're a "godsend"
Someone claiming to be a positive influence or blessing.
But without all the lights dimmed
Realizing that the person is a dead end despite their supposed positive qualities.
I know that you're a dead end
-You want me to marry you, bury you
Repetition of the desire for marriage and burial, possibly emphasizing the intensity.
You want me to marry you, bury you
-You want me to marry you, bury you
-If I bury you
Reiteration of the request for assurance regarding peaceful sleep after burying the person.
Do you promise me
-You won't haunt my dreams
-And finally let me sleep
-Say goodbye to you
-Could you swear to me
-You would quiet the screams
-And finally let me sleep
-Scars are promises that it gets better
Scars are viewed as promises that life will improve over time.
I'm still here
Confirmation of existence despite challenges faced.
Can you hear me
An inquiry about being heard and acknowledged.
I made it this far with all these fading lights and
Mention of surviving despite fading lights, possibly symbolic of difficult times.
I'm still here
Reaffirmation of continued existence despite hardships.
I'm still here
-If I bury you
Repetition of the plea for assurance about peaceful sleep after burying the person, emphasizing the need for closure.
Do you promise me
-You won't haunt my dreams
-And finally let me sleep
-Say goodbye to you
-Could you swear to me
-You would quiet the screams
-And finally let me sleep
