Embracing Shadows: The Radiance and Struggle Within
Lyrics
There's a darkness
There is a sense of negativity or shadow present.
In the most well lit room
Even in a well-lit room, darkness exists metaphorically.
Even the brightest bulb needs to be held in place
The brightest bulb needs support to function, much like people need support from each other.
And fed by the energy we fight for, we fight for
We fight for the energy that sustains us.
I am the radiator throwing heat
The speaker provides warmth or support.
And you're the fire burning oil, this we need to stay warm
The listener is vital like fuel for the fire.
Oh the tales we tell are glorious
The stories told are magnificent or grand.
Under the bed we sleep
Metaphorical reference to a vulnerable place, possibly where insecurities hide.
Under the dreams we dream
Dreams are a significant part of our subconscious.
The dust that fills our lungs
Metaphor for accumulated emotional baggage affecting health.
Accumulates to the root of our body's weakness
Our weaknesses are rooted in the accumulation of negative experiences.
We are what we believe in
Our beliefs shape who we are.
Blind by self depletion scared
Feeling overwhelmed and scared due to self-neglect.
I got to dry my hands and bleach em all
The need to cleanse oneself, possibly from guilt or past actions.
Find myself a reason not to cover up
Finding a reason to be genuine and not conceal oneself.
The court didn't give me a chance to make my case
Not given a chance to present or defend oneself.
Thrown out like old boxes, my words they sit wet in the rain
Feeling disregarded, like words ignored or neglected.
Until they dissolve away just balling up like old paper
Ideas or thoughts being ignored until they fade away.
Almost like litter to the side of the road until it no longer
Metaphorically becoming insignificant and crumbling away.
Can hold its shape, just crumble into the earth someday
Loss of form or identity, disintegrating.
Becoming sand to remain that way forever
Becoming something fundamental or basic.
Blind by self depletion scared
Similar to line 14, feeling overwhelmed and scared due to self-neglect.
I got to dry my hands and bleach em all
Reiterating the need to cleanse oneself from negative influences.
Find myself a reason not to cover up
Reaffirming the importance of authenticity.
Blind by self depletion scared
Similar to lines 14 and 25, feeling overwhelmed and scared due to self-neglect.
I got to dry my hands and bleach em all
Reiteration of the need for personal cleansing and renewal.
Find myself a reason not to cover up
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity and not hiding.
