Sword of Damocles
Lament of the Hanging Sword: Love's Struggle Unveiled
Lyrics
I waste my words on someone who doesn't care
I express my thoughts to someone who is indifferent or unresponsive
I don't know why
I am uncertain about the reasons behind my actions
I hate that I try so damn hard
I resent the effort I invest, feeling it is in vain
Twelve hours away
There is a significant physical or emotional distance
Old mem'ries are warped, I wait
Past recollections are distorted as I anticipate change
For something to change
I await something transformative
As if I could pray it into being okay
I attempt to influence a positive outcome through prayer
Like it's all okay
An acknowledgment that things are not truly okay
Oh I'd rather you be mean than just give me nothing at all
I prefer harshness over receiving nothing
Silence isn't peace, this mind palace threatens to fall
Silence is unsettling and not a state of peace; mental stability is at risk
You're the Sword of Damocles
A metaphorical reference to a constant threat or burden
Keep hangin' over me
This threat persists and hangs ominously
I wish I could say
Expressing a desire to be indifferent to the other's presence
I don't care if you stay
Claiming not to care about the other's decision to stay or leave
But you've got this hold on me
Feeling emotionally controlled or captivated
It's the pit of lunacy
Describing an intense and irrational state of mind
I'm begging the king
Pleading with authority (the king) to avoid a decisive action
Don't cut through the string
Requesting not to sever the connection or relationship
Just let me be free
Yearning for freedom from the emotional entanglement
Secrets stain your lips a cherry red
Imagery of hidden truths or lies, symbolized by red-stained lips
I guess I'll never know why you left
Expressing confusion about the reasons for departure
You've got me thinkin' I'm the one to blame
Feeling responsible for the departure and its consequences
Does that make you feel like it's okay
Questioning if taking blame makes the situation acceptable
You're the sword of Damocles
Reiteration of the metaphorical threat hanging over
Keep hangin' over me
Continued presence of the looming burden
I wish I could say
Expressing indifference to the other's choice to stay or go
I don't care if you stay
Feeling emotionally restrained or controlled
But you've got this hold on me
Continued sense of being captivated or obsessed
It's the pit of lunacy
Describing an irrational and unstable mental state
I'm begging the king
Repeated plea to authority to avoid a decisive action
Don't cut through the string
Reiterating the request not to sever the connection or relationship
Just let me be free
Reiterating the desire for emotional liberation
I'm begging the king
Repeating the plea to avoid a decisive action
Don't cut through the string
Repeating the request not to sever the connection or relationship
Just let me be free
Reiterating the longing for emotional freedom
