Lyrics
Is that really the goal
Questioning the true objective or purpose
To be so numb
Expressing the desire to be emotionally detached or unfeeling
That I won't feel sorrow?
Wondering if emotional numbness can shield from sorrow
As if the demands drown out the loneliness
Suggesting overwhelming demands overshadow feelings of loneliness
As if I can outrun isolation
Desiring to escape isolation by running away from it
As if I weigh less than the gloom
Feeling weighed down by gloom despite efforts to escape
Is that really the goal
Reiterating the question of the true objective or purpose
To build a switch
Contemplating building a mechanism to suppress tears
To turn my tears off?
Questioning the value of blocking emotions in favor of nothingness
To block everything in favour of nothingness
Expressing a desire to shut out everything for a state of numbness
To master how to live as loveless
Aspiring to live without love, creating a desolate existence
In a house of empty rooms
Describing a dwelling place with empty, devoid rooms
I kneel on the floor
Symbolizing vulnerability and surrendering on the floor
I plead at the walls
Appealing to the walls for salvation from the emotional state
Please don't let this be my tomb
Pleading to avoid a metaphorical tomb, a place of emotional death
If I can't remember any of this
Raising questions about the purpose of actions if memory is absent
Why am I doing anything?
Questioning the motivation for any activity without memory
At least I was distracted
Acknowledging distraction as a form of solace
At least I felt less
Finding comfort in feeling less, even if it's temporary
Oh how that is such a defeated wish!
Recognizing the futility of hoping for emotional numbness
To hope for numbness
Expressing the defeat in desiring to be emotionally numb
To long for nothingness
Longing for a state of nothingness, free from emotional turmoil
To want for anything but this.
Rejecting any desire other than the absence of emotional pain
Is that really the goal
Reiterating the contemplation of building a mechanism for emotional suppression
To build a switch
Contemplating a switch to turn off tears, seeking emotional control
To turn my tears off?
Questioning the worth of blocking emotions for the sake of numbness
To block everything for numbness
Desiring to block everything for the pursuit of numbness
To master how to live as loveless
Mastering the art of living without love, choosing emptiness
In a house of empty rooms
Repeating the imagery of a house with empty rooms
I kneel on the floor
Symbolizing vulnerability and surrender on the floor, repetition of pleading
I plead at the walls
Repeated appeal to the walls to avoid a metaphorical tomb
Please don't let this be my tomb
Reiteration of the plea to avoid a symbolic place of emotional death
Please don't let this be my tomb
Final plea to avoid a metaphorical tomb, emphasizing the fear of emotional demise
