Afraid of the Dark
Embracing Shadows: The Struggle of Connection in The Floral Ties' Melody
Lyrics
Well I'm afraid of the dark
The speaker expresses fear of darkness.
And trying and talking to you
Struggling to communicate or connect with someone.
Well it tears me apart
Feeling emotionally torn and distressed.
But what else can I do
Feeling limited in choices or actions.
I think you're beginning to see
Suggesting the other person is starting to understand.
So can you explain to me
Asking for clarification or understanding.
Why I'd rather be in the dark than be with you
Choosing darkness over being with the person due to an unidentified reason.
Well it's been a while since you looked my way
It's been a long time since receiving attention from the person.
You've been staring at your liquid crystal display
The person has been focused on a digital screen, possibly a phone or computer.
Preoccupied by a screen
Engaged with technology, escaping reality to create a different world.
Recreating a dream
Immersed in recreating or pursuing a dreamlike scenario on the screen.
I'm sorry if I sound cliche
Apologizing for sounding like a stereotype or common situation.
'Cause I'm afraid of the dark
Reiterating fear of darkness.
And trying and talking to you
Struggling again to communicate or connect with the person.
Well it tears me apart
Feeling emotionally torn and distressed (repeated).
But what else can I do
Feeling limited in choices or actions (repeated).
I think you're beginning to see
Suggesting the other person's growing understanding (repeated).
So can you explain to me
Seeking clarification or understanding (repeated).
Why I'd rather be in the dark than be with you
Choosing darkness over being with the person for an unidentified reason (repeated).
Well I'm afraid of the dark
Reiterating fear of darkness (repeated).
But I'm trying to talk to you
Continuing efforts to communicate or connect with the person.
Well it tears me apart
Feeling emotionally torn and distressed (repeated).
But what else can I do
Feeling limited in choices or actions (repeated).
I think you're beginning to see
Suggesting the other person's growing understanding (repeated).
So can you explain to me
Seeking clarification or understanding (repeated).
Why I'd rather be in the dark than be with you
Choosing darkness over being with the person for an unidentified reason (repeated).
So I guess I'll mumble on and on
Continuing to talk or express despite uncertainty.
And I know the moment will soon be gone
Awareness that the moment of communication might soon pass.
Well I'm losing my head
Feeling mentally scattered or confused.
'Cause nothing's been said
No progress in communication or exchange of thoughts.
Will you let me know if you like my song
Seeking feedback or validation for their expression.
'Cause I'm afraid of the dark
Reiterating fear of darkness (repeated).
But I'm trying to talk to you
Continuing efforts to communicate or connect despite fear (repeated).
Well it tears me apart
Feeling emotionally torn and distressed (repeated).
But what else can I do
Feeling limited in choices or actions (repeated).
I think you're beginning to see
Suggesting the other person's growing understanding (repeated).
So can you explain to me
Seeking clarification or understanding (repeated).
Why I'd rather be in the dark than be with you
Choosing darkness over being with the person for an unidentified reason (repeated).
