Abandoned House
Discovering Liberation: Abandoned House by Third Culture Kid
Lyrics
I forgot how to fly when I was a kid
I lost the ability to dream or imagine freely when I was a child.
my colors were running dry imagination useless
My creative spirit was diminishing, and my imagination felt useless.
I threw out all my cards except the jokers laughing face
I discarded all my plans and strategies, keeping only the lighthearted and carefree aspects represented by the jokers.
I held it on my heart
I kept the laughing face of the joker close to my heart, perhaps as a source of amusement or distraction.
So that my problems would run away
I clung to these carefree elements to escape or cope with my problems.
Fill me up this abandoned house
I seek to be filled with something meaningful in this abandoned and empty dwelling.
Fill my cup this abandoned house
I request to have my cup filled, symbolizing a desire for emotional or spiritual fulfillment.
Fill me up this abandoned house
Repetition emphasizing the longing to be filled and the emptiness of the abandoned house.
Teenage years rolled in just as reckless as they seemed
The turbulent teenage years arrived, marked by recklessness and unpredictability.
face cards thrown away a waste of reality
I discarded valuable aspects of myself, like face cards, considering them a waste in the face of harsh reality.
My thoughts become martyrs
My thoughts become sacrifices or victims, standing at the forefront of challenges.
Standing in the front lines
I am actively engaged in difficult situations, symbolized by standing in the front lines.
Traded and bartered
My thoughts are traded and bartered, perhaps for temporary pleasures or distractions.
For a good time
I exchange my thoughts for moments of enjoyment or relief.
I've died enough in this abandoned house
I've experienced enough pain or challenges in this empty and forsaken place.
Unlock the gate and let me out
I urge to be released from this abandoned house, as if it represents a confining or limiting situation.
My walls breaking down
The barriers or defenses around me are crumbling in this forsaken dwelling.
In this abandoned house
The abandoned house symbolizes a state of neglect, decay, or emotional abandonment.
