Lyrics
School yards to smokey bars
Reflecting on experiences from schoolyards to smoky bars.
All these shadows a long the wall
Contemplating shadows along the wall, possibly symbolic of life's challenges.
Wide eyed under endless skies
Feeling awe-inspired under vast skies with wide-eyed wonder.
When ceilings seemed so tall
Recalling a time when obstacles seemed insurmountable.
Erase and replace
Expressing the desire to erase the past and start anew.
I found a monster to call my own
Finding solace or connection in a personal struggle or "monster."
Reflections trace a changing face
Noticing the evolving nature of oneself through reflections.
Regrets in flesh and bone
Living with regrets manifested in the physical form of flesh and bone.
I've built this castle in sand
Building something fragile and transient, like a castle in the sand.
It becomes smaller with every grain
Acknowledging the impermanence of achievements.
I've built this future with my hands
Taking responsibility for shaping one's own future.
The silhouettes mark my gain
Recognizing personal growth through life's challenges.
Suffocate this child and choke on the result
Feeling overwhelmed and stifled, possibly by external expectations.
These seeds with no light
Referring to unfulfilled potential or aspirations without proper nurturing.
A blind will to grow
Commenting on a blind determination to grow despite obstacles.
Blueprints of descent
Referring to plans or consequences that were predetermined.
It's etched in the past that we all know
Highlighting the impact of the past on the present.
Scarred chins and splitting shins
Noting physical and emotional scars as evidence of past struggles.
Callused with fears that show
Describing a toughened exterior due to visible fears.
Erase and replace
Reiterating the desire for a fresh start, echoing line 5.
I found a monster to call my own
Reaffirming the connection to personal struggles or "monsters."
Red crayons and open hands
Recalling childhood lessons, possibly learned through adversity.
I was taught by sticks and stones
Reflecting on the impact of harsh lessons, symbolized by sticks and stones.
separated but the kids still breathing
Highlighting resilience in the face of separation and adversity.
Somewhere in between
Navigating the challenges that lie between extremes.
It's when our limbs they weigh us down
Feeling weighed down by life's struggles.
We retrace the seams
Reflecting on the paths taken in life, possibly retracing choices.
But under cold rain and hot air
Describing a moment of stillness and reflection amid contrasting elements.
I once watched time stand still
Recalling a moment when time seemed to stand still, possibly in nostalgia.
I stepped back and smiled
Stepping back to appreciate personal growth and experiences.
At the small shoes that I've filled
Reflecting on the past and acknowledging the steps taken in one's journey.
