Cause for Alarm
Echoes of Silent Sacrifice
Lyrics
Caught on a tongue that can never speak
Feeling trapped or silenced, unable to express oneself verbally.
Empty threats that scratch your cheek
Threats that lack substance, causing superficial harm or discomfort.
Tattooed on in crimson red
Symbolically marked or scarred in deep red, possibly denoting emotional wounds.
Velvet bruise beneath this head
A soft, lingering injury beneath the mind or consciousness.
Offer up another limb
Sacrificing or giving away more of oneself for a perceived resolution.
Want to make it alright
Desire to make things right or amends, seeking resolution.
Nothing you can do for them
A recognition that external actions may not change the situation for others.
And only with your own life
The ultimate sacrifice, suggesting one's own life as the only solution.
Strained your eyes you've started it
Intense focus or effort initiated, but without full commitment.
Sleepy thoughts that can't commit
Unclear or indecisive thoughts that hinder full commitment.
Brushed aside as emptiness
Disregarded as insignificant or lacking importance.
Empty eyes you always miss
Eyes that fail to perceive or understand the emptiness.
And they don't ever need to find out
A recognition that certain truths or actions may remain hidden.
You know this better than you know now
A realization of knowledge that surpasses the current understanding.
Offer up another limb
Repetition of the willingness to sacrifice for resolution.
Want to make it alright
Continued desire to make things right or amends.
Nothing you can do for them
Acknowledgment of limitations in helping others, perhaps due to external factors.
And only with your own life
A reiteration of the profound sacrifice of one's own life.
Offer up another limb
Repetition of offering oneself, suggesting a persistent commitment.
Offer up another limb
Continued repetition, emphasizing the magnitude of the sacrifice.
And they don't ever need to find out
Reinforces the idea of concealed truths or actions, not meant to be discovered.
You know this better than you know now
Confirmation of the speaker's advanced understanding compared to the present moment.
