Voices
Navigating Shadows: Unraveling the Meaning Behind 'Voices'
Lyrics
Guess I couldn’t be honest
Expressing difficulty in being truthful or sincere.
Guess you didn’t believe me
Suggesting a lack of belief or trust in the speaker's honesty.
Guess I’m stuck on my back in the floor
Describing a feeling of being trapped or overwhelmed, possibly emotionally.
Of these walls I’ve built around me
Referring to self-imposed barriers or emotional defenses.
I’ve been watching the shadows close
Observing the approach of difficulties or challenges.
Tried to pull on my sleeve
Attempting to resist or protect oneself from challenges.
I’ve been caught up entangled
Being emotionally involved or ensnared in a difficult situation.
In their lonely company
Expressing a sense of loneliness or isolation.
But they’re only voices
Clarifying that the challenges or emotions are internal thoughts and not external entities.
Don’t listen at all
Advising against paying heed to negative internal thoughts.
You’ve got your choices still
Acknowledging the presence of choices despite difficulties.
Don’t build them up so tall
Cautioning against exaggerating or amplifying problems.
They’ll cut you down
Warning about the potential negative impact of internal thoughts.
You can call it illusion
Suggesting that negative thoughts may be a distorted perception rather than reality.
Sometimes it feels like a stain
Describing emotional pain or discomfort.
When I’m stuck in these walls here
Feeling confined or stuck in a challenging situation.
With my hands tied to my feet
Expressing a sense of helplessness or restriction.
Thought I was breaking the cycle
Believing in a prior attempt to break free from a recurring pattern.
Thought I knew what was fair
Thinking that one understood what is just or right.
But I’m out here trembling
Feeling vulnerable and shaky in a challenging environment.
In this cold December air
Describing a cold and possibly harsh emotional atmosphere.
