Polaroid
Unveiling Inner Demons: Stone Deaf's "Polaroid" Reflection
Lyrics
Take these eyes from me
Expressing a desire for someone to look away or not witness something
And your empty smile that stares from the screen
Referring to a fake or insincere smile observed on a digital screen
Take your hands from me that hold your lonely heart, your lonely heart
Asking for emotional detachment, specifically from the hands that hold a lonely heart
All your dreams lay dead at your feet
Symbolizing the end of aspirations or hopes, possibly due to past failures
The frames go by but you get what you need
Despite the passage of time, one obtains what is essential or necessary
The lonely time, the only time for me
Emphasizing that the only meaningful time is when feeling alone
We only see the things that we want to see
Highlighting selective perception, seeing only what one wants to see
If only you weren’t passing the time
Implies that the person is merely passing time without true engagement
If only you weren’t dead inside
Suggesting emotional numbness or emptiness within
If only you weren’t dying to lie
Describing a desire to deceive or live a false life
If only you, If only you
Repeating the theme of longing or wishing for a different state
Step inside with me
Inviting someone to join in a particular moment, which may be the only escape
It’s the only time that they’ll let me be
Suggesting that this moment is the only opportunity for freedom or self-expression
A danse macabre unseen
Describing an unseen and mystical dance, possibly metaphorical
In your lonely time, your lonely time
Reiterating the significance of alone or lonely times
All your demons just off the screen
Referring to personal struggles or challenges not visible to others
When they go inside will they set you free?
Questioning whether facing inner demons will bring liberation
The lonely time, the only time for me
Repeating the idea that meaningful moments occur in isolation
We only see the things that they wanna see
Stressing the tendency to see only what others wish to reveal
If only you weren’t passing the time
Repeating the notion of time passing without purpose or fulfillment
If only you weren’t dead inside
Re-emphasizing a sense of inner emptiness or lifelessness
If only you weren’t dying to lie
Highlighting a desire to live a false or deceptive existence
If only you, If only you
Repeating the wish for a different state of being
If only you weren’t passing the time
Continuing the theme of time passing without meaning
If only you weren’t dead inside
Reiterating a state of emotional deadness or detachment
If only you weren’t dying to lie
Expressing a desire to live a false or deceptive life
If only you, If only you
Repeating the desire for a different state of being
If only you weren’t passing the time
Repeating the idea of time passing without purpose or fulfillment
If only you weren’t dead inside
Re-emphasizing a sense of inner emptiness or lifelessness
If only you weren’t dying to lie
Highlighting a desire to live a false or deceptive existence
If only you, If only you
Repeating the wish for a different state of being
If only you weren’t passing the time
Continuing the theme of time passing without meaning
If only you weren’t dead inside
Reiterating a state of emotional deadness or detachment
If only you weren’t dying to lie
Expressing a desire to live a false or deceptive life
If only you, If only you
Repeating the desire for a different state of being
If only you
Concluding with a final wish or longing
If only you
Reiterating the final desire or yearning
If only you
Final repetition of the persistent desire for change
