Eclipse
Embracing Shadows: Softspoken's Eclipse Reveals a Carnival of Life
Lyrics
The day will be like night
The upcoming time will resemble darkness.
The blindness in your eyes will scratch you out
The lack of insight or understanding will erase your existence.
And cancel all the skies
And eliminate all possibilities of hope or positivity.
Stretched and bound
Restricted and confined.
My vision upside down
My perspective is disoriented.
See my son dance happily around
Observing my child joyfully dancing.
Reconcile pain you've caused
Make peace with the suffering you've inflicted.
By and to yourself
Both caused by and to yourself.
Fear is sickness
Anxiety is an ailment.
That can crawl into your skin and bones
It can deeply affect your being.
Let it reach your soul
Allow it to penetrate your essence.
Out of control
Unmanageable.
Trapped inside this hole
Confined within a pit.
Where nobody hears you
Where no one listens to you.
Whatever fight tonight
Whatever conflict arises tonight.
Must be fought
Needs to be confronted.
With teeth from the jaguar's bite
With the fierceness of a jaguar's bite.
Your viewership controlled
Your attention manipulated.
By looping illusions
By recurring deceptions.
Behold, we're all contestants in this carnival of life
Understand, we're all participants in life's spectacle.
Tattered and born to die
Worn out and destined for mortality.
Swallowed by the moonlight
Consumed by the moon's glow.
Racing against time looking for midnight signs
Rushing against time, seeking indications of midnight.
Too fast they cannot see
They're too swift to perceive.
My limbs pick up their speed
My limbs accelerate.
Pushing through this labyrinth of atrocities
Struggling through this maze of horrors.
Blackness of the day
Darkness prevailing during daytime.
Blackness of the day will scratch you out
Darkness during daytime will erase you.
Shield from this outbreak
Protect yourself from this epidemic.
Blackness of the day
Darkness during daytime.
Fear is sickness that can crawl
Anxiety can invade.
Shield from this outbreak
Protect from this epidemic.
Through your skin and bones
Through your very essence.
Trust in membranes
Have faith in protective barriers.
Shield me from outbreak
Protect me from the epidemic.
Trust in membranes
Have faith in protective barriers.
Shield me from this outbreak
Protect me from this epidemic.
The canopy blocks the light
The covering obstructs illumination.
Vegetation way too thick
Foliage too dense.
No trust in eyesight
No reliance on eyesight.
Ears to the ground, feel vibrations of the night
Listening keenly, sensing night's vibrations.
No trust
No trust.
Tattered and born to die
Worn out and destined for mortality.
Swallowed by the moonlight
Consumed by the moon's glow.
Racing against time looking for midnight signs
Racing against time, seeking indications of midnight.
