Beyond The Sun
Escaping Pain: Yearning for Liberation Beyond the Sun
Lyrics
She thinks, "Another day I'm left to drag my broken soul through the streets
Feeling abandoned, she drags her broken soul through the streets.
Into work and school, then back home"
Her daily routine involves going to work and school, then returning home.
Not a man in her life that makes her feel whole
There's no man in her life providing a sense of completeness.
Because it's the men in her life that filled her with those holes
Men in her life have caused emotional wounds and emptiness.
"What have I done to deserve this?"
Questioning the reasons for her suffering.
To face a raising first that screams
Facing a difficult challenge that screams at her.
"You think I like this bitch?!"
Conveying the frustration and dislike towards her situation.
Don't you worry my darling, mommy just tripped
Assuring her loved ones that a mistake happened, not intentional harm.
She can feel her sanity starting to slip
Her sanity is slipping, indicating the toll on her mental health.
So she dreams, if I could just go
She dreams of escaping her current reality.
Beyond the sun
Yearning to go "Beyond the sun."
Where I can't feel pain
Seeking a place where pain cannot reach her.
Where I could just fade away
Desiring to fade away from her troubles.
Beyond the sun, where no one lives but me
Envisioning a secluded place where she is alone.
Help me
A plea for help amidst her struggles.
Entangled in a web of complete misery
Trapped in a web of complete misery.
Her cries are stifled by a fear of what he might do to the kids
Her cries are stifled by fear of harm to her children.
"If I just stick it out this might end soon"
Hoping that enduring the situation will lead to its end.
"This is all my fault"
Blaming herself for the difficulties she faces.
If I had just done what he said I could have avoided this all"
Regretting not following instructions to avoid her predicament.
And still she dreams, if I could just go
Continuing to dream of escaping her hardships.
Beyond the sun
Reiterating the desire to go "Beyond the sun."
Where I can't feel pain
Yearning for a place where pain is absent.
Where I could just fade away
Expressing the wish to fade away from her struggles.
Beyond the sun, where no one lives but me
Imagining a place where she is isolated and free.
Help me
A repeated plea for help.
