Otherside
Journey Through Shadows: Sunflower Bean's Melancholic Revelation
Lyrics
Days of darkness fade to night
Reflecting on a period of darkness transitioning into night.
Peering through I can see a crack of light
Noticing a glimmer of hope or positivity amidst the darkness.
Slivers of hope, they fade to rust
Small hopes diminishing and turning into disappointment or decay.
My daydreams crumble into dust
Daydreams and aspirations falling apart and becoming dust.
I walk alone as far as I can find
Walking alone, possibly in search of meaning or resolution.
You stop and ask if I'm alright
Someone expressing concern about the person walking alone.
There's a hole so big I cannot fill
Feeling a profound emptiness that is hard to fill.
I don't want you to try but I know you will
Not wanting others to try to fill the void, but expecting they will.
Through the grief and tears I cannot hide
Struggling with grief and tears that are difficult to conceal.
I'll see you, see you, see you on the other side
Anticipating a meeting or connection on the "other side" beyond the pain.
I know that time's supposed to heal
Acknowledging the conventional idea that time heals emotional wounds.
Tell me something good, something real
Seeking genuine and positive information or reassurance.
Now I paint my face and pretend
Using makeup as a metaphor for putting on a façade and pretending.
I look for answers in a well that has no end
Searching for answers in a place that offers no solutions.
I know that I'm supposed to call a friend
Aware of the need to reach out to friends during tough times.
Can't waste all day alone in bed
Realizing the importance of not isolating oneself despite challenges.
But there's that hole where you once been and
Feeling the absence left by someone important but witnessing new light.
Now the light is streaming in
Positive change occurring, symbolized by light streaming in.
Through the grief and tears I
Continuing to grapple with grief and tears.
Through the grief and tears I
Reiterating the ongoing struggle with grief and tears.
