Torch
Echoes of Regret: Unveiling Hidden Sentiments
Lyrics
A thousand rainy days
A metaphor for a prolonged period of gloom and sadness.
And I spoke on tongues that talk of saints
Expressing religious or spiritual experiences that involve speaking in tongues and references to saints.
Burned down days like cigarettes
Comparing the passage of time to burning down days like cigarettes, possibly implying destructive habits.
For your hollow praise
Performing actions for empty praise or acknowledgment.
Down the days that you forget
Reflecting on forgotten days and their significance.
Count the pictures that you keep
Counting memories or moments captured in pictures.
Keep it, hide it all away
Suggesting a desire to conceal and keep certain aspects of oneself hidden.
Let it never show
Emphasizing the need for secrecy and not revealing one's true self.
All of this and I regret
Expressing remorse for past actions or choices.
Not a day that I was sent
Regretting the entire span of one's existence.
Celebrated and arose
Being recognized and celebrated, possibly sarcastically, for vanity or superficial reasons.
For your vanity in vain
Highlighting the emptiness of pursuing vanity.
Framed the faces I applaud
Commending faces or personas in a framed context, suggesting a superficial appreciation.
All the same sad eyes
Observing a commonality in the sadness reflected in people's eyes.
Write the world between the lines
Creating a world of meaning and significance within written lines.
I heard it all, I heard it spoke
Listening and understanding life experiences, likened to calling a name.
Like a name I call my life
Reiterating the desire to keep certain aspects of life hidden.
Let it never show
Reemphasizing the need for secrecy and concealment.
All of this I now regret
Continuing to express regret for past actions or choices.
Not a day that I was sent
Regretting the very existence, similar to Line #10.
Not a name that I might place
Rejecting any association with a particular name or identity.
Not at my parade
Refusing to participate in a personal celebration or acknowledgment.
In the four walls of my room
Describing a confined and isolated space where thoughts and feelings are contained.
Standing where I wait
Waiting for something in a place of confinement.
Others praised and I can't come
Others receive praise, and the speaker feels excluded or unable to join.
Tore the pictures off my walls
Physically removing visual reminders of past experiences.
There's a secret that I keep
Holding a hidden secret, possibly related to the torn pictures.
Let it never show
Reiterating the theme of keeping secrets and not revealing the true self.
All of this I now regret
Continuing to express regret for undisclosed actions or choices.
Not a day that I was sent
Similar to Line #20 and Line #10, regretting the entire existence.
All of this I now regret
Repeating the expression of regret for undisclosed actions or choices.
Not a name that I might place
Reiterating the rejection of association with a specific name or identity.
Not at my parade
Reiterating the refusal to participate in personal celebration or acknowledgment.
Framed the faces I applaud
Commending faces or personas in a framed context, echoing Line #13.
All the same sad eyes
Observing a commonality in the sadness reflected in people's eyes, echoing Line #14.
Write the world between the lines
Continuing to create meaning and significance within written lines, echoing Line #15.
I heard it all, I heard it spoke
Listening and understanding life experiences, echoing Line #16.
In the four walls of my room
Reiterating the confined space where thoughts and feelings are contained, echoing Line #23.
