Shrouds
Shrouds of Desolation: Unveiling the Depths of a Broken Soul
Lyrics
This is what I've become
This line suggests a realization or acknowledgment of a personal transformation.
The spitting image of
Referring to a strong resemblance to something, possibly negative or undesirable.
Another wretch in the periphery of love
Describing oneself as a miserable individual on the outskirts of love.
And what I thought was gold
An illusion of value or worth that turns out to be insignificant or dark.
Was just a shade of black
Realization that what was perceived as valuable is, in fact, a form of darkness.
If my soul is this far gone I might not ever take it back
Expressing a sense of irreversibility and potential loss of one's soul.
If I am this far gone, I might not take it back
Reinforcing the idea of being too far gone to reclaim the lost self.
Distant, floating
Feeling distant and detached from surroundings.
My scars are showing
Visible signs of past wounds or traumas.
My throat's constricting
A physical manifestation of emotional distress or fear.
Shroud around my heart is lifting
Suggesting a release or relief from emotional burdens.
Memories aching, my boughs are breaking
Recalling painful memories and personal weaknesses.
Lifeless, shallow
Conveying a sense of emptiness or lack of vitality.
Lead me to the gallows
Symbolizing a surrender or acceptance of a grim fate.
I'm drowning in the wake
Feeling overwhelmed by the consequences of severed connections.
Of every bond I break
Experiencing the aftermath of breaking emotional ties.
As I'm condemned to tread on the heels of sorrow
Being condemned to live in the shadow of sorrow.
The life I thought I'd live
Reflecting on the contrast between the expected and actual life.
I found a way to kill
Discovering a destructive way of living or making choices.
If I am this far gone, I'm never coming back
Expressing a commitment to a point of no return.
I'm never coming back
Repeating the determination to never return.
Distant, floating
Reiterating a sense of distance and detachment from reality.
My scars are showing
Revealing the lingering effects of past wounds.
My throat's constricting
Physical and emotional constriction or suffocation.
Shroud around my heart is lifting
Signifying a gradual release from emotional burdens.
Memories aching, my boughs are breaking
Recollection of painful memories and personal vulnerabilities.
Lifeless, shallow
Conveying a sense of lifelessness and shallowness.
Lead me to the gallows
Being led towards an inevitable negative outcome.
This is what becomes of me
Describing the undesirable result or fate of the individual.
When the world can see the person that I am that's buried underneath
When one's true self, hidden beneath the surface, becomes visible to the world.
Distant, floating
Reiterating a sense of distance and detachment from reality.
My scars are showing
Visible signs of past wounds or traumas.
My throat's constricting
Physical and emotional constriction or suffocation.
Shroud around my heart is lifting
Symbolizing a release from emotional burdens.
Memories aching, my boughs are breaking
Recollection of painful memories and personal vulnerabilities.
Lifeless, shallow
Conveying a sense of lifelessness and shallowness.
Lead me to the gallows
Being led towards an inevitable negative outcome.
