Darkness
Embracing Shadows: Confronting Inner Demons with The Skies Above Us
Lyrics
Can I confess my conviction
Expressing a desire to confess a deeply held belief or feeling.
I wish these demons were fiction
Expressing a wish that the troubling aspects (demons) were not real.
But they've got a hold on me
Acknowledging the grip or control that these troubles have on the speaker.
Could you help me out, could you set me free
Pleading for assistance and liberation from the troubles.
I don't expect you to understand
Recognizing that understanding may be difficult, but requesting a listening ear.
I only ask that you listen and
Asking for the listener's attention without expecting complete comprehension.
Try to keep an open mind
Encouraging an open-minded approach from the listener.
I need to lay this to rest and leave it behind
Expressing a need to put a troubling issue to rest and move forward.
I fell into the darkness
Describing a descent into a metaphorical darkness, possibly emotional or mental.
You know that I've been trying
Acknowledging efforts to overcome challenges or difficulties.
I go where you want me to
Submitting to external influences or expectations.
And I know what you want me to too
Acknowledging awareness of what is expected.
I fell into the darkness
Reiterating a descent into a metaphorical darkness.
You know I broke the silence
Acknowledging a breaking of silence, possibly addressing a hidden truth.
You go where I want you to
Indicating compliance with external expectations.
And now you know what I've been through, (Hey Hey Hey!) too
Highlighting shared experiences or understanding between speaker and listener.
You go where I want you to
Reiterating external influence on the speaker.
And now you know what I've been through
Reiterating the listener's awareness of the speaker's experiences.
Each day, a new dawn, a new break
Emphasizing the opportunity for a fresh start each day.
A new chance to reason with my mistakes
Expressing a desire to reconcile with past mistakes.
I don't know how long it takes
Uncertainty about the time required for personal growth or change.
For me to force my heart awake
Struggling to awaken or change one's heart.
Sunlight leaves the darkness locked away
Symbolizing the positive impact of sunlight on dispelling darkness.
The key as cold as ice
Describing the difficulty or coldness of accessing a solution.
Is in the back of my mind
Locating the solution in the speaker's thoughts.
And melts away with time
Emphasizing the gradual resolution of issues with time.
I fell into the darkness
Reiterating the descent into metaphorical darkness.
You know that I've been trying
Reiterating efforts to overcome challenges.
I go where you want me to
Resigning to external influence or direction.
And I know what you want me to too
Acknowledging awareness of external expectations.
I fell into the darkness
Reiterating a descent into metaphorical darkness.
You know I broke the silence
Acknowledging a breaking of silence.
You go where I want you to
Submitting to external influence.
And now you know what I've been through
Reiterating shared experiences or understanding.
Yeah You go where I want you to
Reiterating the impact of external influence.
And now you know what I've been through
Reiterating the listener's awareness of the speaker's experiences.
I tried so hard
Expressing intense effort in dealing with challenges.
Yeah I try so hard
Reiterating the speaker's persistent effort.
I fell into the darkness
Reiterating the descent into metaphorical darkness.
You know that I've been trying
Reiterating efforts to overcome challenges.
I go where you want me to
Resigning to external influence or direction.
And I know what you want me to too
Acknowledging awareness of external expectations.
I fell into the darkness
Reiterating a descent into metaphorical darkness.
You know I broke the silence
Acknowledging a breaking of silence.
You go where I want you to
Submitting to external influence.
And now you know what I've been through, hey, hey, hey
Reiterating shared experiences or understanding.
