Unveiling Shadows: A Journey through Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
Open your eyes and hear the walls scream
Opening up to reality and experiencing intense emotions or revelations.
Look to the ground and start to run
Avoiding or escaping from a situation, possibly filled with regret or fear.
Are you the boy your parents thought you'd be?
Questioning one's identity and whether it aligns with parental expectations.
Hearing the sound, what have you done?
Confronting the consequences of past actions, feeling the impact of choices made.
There's no rewind, nowhere to hide
Acknowledging that time cannot be reversed, and there is no escape from reality.
You are a person in disguise
Feeling a sense of disguise or pretense in one's own identity.
Did he hear you cry?
Questioning if someone was aware of emotional pain or distress.
Turn a blind eye, he didn't answer when you asked why
Choosing to ignore or avoid addressing emotional issues.
Flip the light switch three times
Ritualistic behavior, possibly an attempt to control or understand a situation.
Watch them hide
Observing others hiding, suggesting a sense of secrecy or avoidance.
Watch them hide
-Did the catholic school not change your mind
Reflecting on the impact of religious education and its influence on beliefs.
Or was this the peace they told you to find?
Questioning if the pursuit of inner peace was genuine or manipulated.
There's no rewind, nowhere to hide
Reiteration of the inability to reverse time or escape from reality.
You are a person in disguise
Emphasizing the feeling of wearing a metaphorical mask or facade.
Did he make you cry?
Questioning if someone caused emotional pain and distress.
Turn a blind eye, he didn't answer when you asked why
Choosing to ignore or avoid confronting the reasons behind emotional distress.
There's no rewind, nowhere to hide
Reiterating the irreversible nature of time and the inability to escape reality.
You are a person in disguise
Highlighting the feeling of living behind a facade or false identity.
Did he hear you cry?
Questioning if someone was aware of emotional pain and distress (repeated theme).
Turn a blind eye, he didn't answer when you asked why
Choosing to ignore or avoid addressing emotional issues (repeated theme).
Pushed you away, told you to pray
Being pushed away and advised to seek solace in prayer, possibly by authority figures.
Now they are nothing but names
People from the past become insignificant or lose their influence.
And what did they say when he went astray?
Reflecting on reactions and judgments when someone deviated from expected behavior.
The ghosts in the walls never go away
Suggesting that haunting memories or consequences persist despite attempts to move on.
