Cold Comfort
Echoes of Past Desires
Lyrics
i've been here before
Reflecting on past experiences, feeling familiar with the situation
forward motion through the ghosts
Continuing to move forward despite encountering memories or remnants of the past
crawling back to the demons
Returning to confront inner struggles or past challenges that were once resolved
I've laid to rest
Confronting personal demons that were previously overcome or dealt with
so long ago
These demons were put to rest a long time ago, suggesting a distant past
I've been here before
A repetition emphasizing the familiarity of the situation or feeling
am I awake? or am i sleeping?
Questioning the state of consciousness, uncertain if awake or dreaming
am I awake or am I just sleeping
Reiterating the uncertainty of awake or asleep, indicating a sense of disorientation
the night sweats drown out the sound
Intense anxiety or fear overpowering other sensations or thoughts
of the screaming.
Describing the overwhelming nature of distressing thoughts or memories
I learned to love the way she moved
Found beauty in someone's movements but feels no solace in regret
regret has no consolation
Regret offers no comfort or relief from past actions or experiences
dancing through the night to devour all my mind
Engaging in distractions to escape or consume one's thoughts and emotions
a single blade
An image of self-harm or inflicting pain
into my eye
Visualizes a violent act towards oneself, metaphorical or symbolic
twisting the knife
Feeling a lack of surprise at enduring pain or emotional turmoil
I'm not surprised
Resignation or acceptance towards suffering or difficult situations
this candles lit in cold air,
Describing a lonely or isolated setting, yet feeling indifferent
but I don't seem to care.
Awareness of surroundings but lacking emotional investment or concern
am I awake or am I just sleeping
Reiteration of the uncertainty regarding wakefulness or dreaming
the night sweats drown out the sound
Intense distress overpowering any other sensory experience
of the screaming
Acknowledging the drowning of distressing sounds in the mind
i still remember the nothingness in her stare
Recollection of a haunting emptiness seen in someone's gaze
I still remember
Recalling a profound memory or experience
I learned to love the way she moved
Repeated realization of finding beauty in someone's movements but no solace in regret
regret has no consolation
Reiteration that regret doesn't provide comfort or relief from past actions
dancing through the night to devour all my mind
Continuing to engage in distractions to escape thoughts or emotions
I still remember the nothingness in her stare.
Recollection of an empty, emotionless stare from the past
