Bleach
Embracing Shadows: A Symphony of Inner Turmoil in 'Bleach' by Strange Kandy
Lyrics
Another restless night
Experiencing another night of restlessness.
I saw you in my dreams
Seeing the person in dreams.
A nightmare to recall
Recalling a disturbing nightmare, involving kicking and screaming.
(I'd kick and scream)
Expressing the emotional intensity of the dream.
And now you're singing songs
Not being able to enjoy songs in the same way after the experience.
I'll never hear the same
Feeling a permanent change in perception towards certain songs.
I've made a grave mistake
Admitting to a serious mistake made.
(It's such a shame)
Expressing regret and acknowledging the gravity of the mistake.
I wish I was a better friend
Expressing a desire to be a better friend.
A better lover
Desiring improvement in the aspect of being a lover as well.
But in the end I'm a
Reflecting on personal shortcomings despite good intentions.
Carousel spinning round and round
Using a carousel metaphor for the cyclical nature of life.
It's like
Introducing a simile to describe a situation.
Drinking bleach
Comparing the calming effect of a difficult experience to drinking bleach.
But it calms me down
-It's like
-Drinking bleach
-But it calms me down
-It's like
-Drinking bleach
-But it calms me down
-(Hey)
Adding a casual interjection.
It's been a couple years
Noting the passage of time since the last interaction.
I hope you're doing well
Expressing hope for the well-being of the person.
(Staying safe)
Wishing safety and health but uncertain about the person's current state.
(And staying healthy)
-But I can't tell
Expressing difficulty in accurately gauging the well-being of the person.
I wish I was a better friend
Reiterating the desire to be a better friend.
A better lover
Reiterating the desire for improvement in the romantic aspect.
But in the end I'm a
Acknowledging personal limitations despite aspirations.
Carousel spinning round and round
Repeating the carousel metaphor.
It's like
Reiterating the calming effect simile using drinking bleach.
Drinking bleach
-But it calms me down
-It's like

-But it calms me down

Continuing the comparison of calming to drinking bleach.
Drinking bleach

-I wish I was a better friend
Expressing once again the wish to be a better friend.
A better lover
Reiterating the desire for improvement in romantic relationships.
But in the end I'm a
Acknowledging personal limitations even with good intentions.
Carousel spinning round and round

It's like
Reiterating the simile of calming effect likened to drinking bleach.
Drinking bleach
-But it calms me down
Stating the calming effect despite its extreme nature.
