Fell Quiet
Echoes of Captive Silence: The Escape Artist's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Something ending, something rotting
Expressing a sense of conclusion, decay, or deterioration.
Some bereavement
Referring to a state of mourning or intense grief.
I'm not plagued with vicious dread or violent urges
Denying the presence of malicious fear or violent impulses.
But I'm still fighting nauseous lurches
Despite the denial, still grappling with nauseating feelings.
Clipping your influence
Cutting off the impact of someone's influence.
But it trails behind me
The influence persists, trailing behind like an unwanted limb.
Like some graying vestigial limb I can't shed
Describing the lingering influence as a gray, vestigial limb that cannot be discarded.
Someday, I pray
Expressing a hope or desire for a future without the memories associated with the mentioned voices.
I'll forget the sound of your voices
Desiring to forget the specific sound or impact of certain voices.
Coddle and crucify in one breath
Highlighting a contradictory relationship of nurturing and condemning within one statement.
Take a bow
Suggesting a gesture of acknowledgment or recognition.
Use bigger words, debase your fears
Encouraging the use of more complex language to diminish personal fears.

Drank up my soul and spit me out here

Captivity fell quiet

No use in try/deny it

If I'm the problem, if I'm so heartless like you said
Questioning whether the speaker is perceived as heartless and acknowledging the potential problem.
I bet you'll rejoice in being rid of me

Wait, then why haven't you told anyone yet?

My oh my
