Echoes of Regret: Finding Solace in Self-Made Prisons
Lyrics
There’s nothing I can take
Expresses a sense of powerlessness or lack of control.
From this empty space that I call home
The speaker's home is emotionally barren or desolate.
It’s just another day
Highlights the monotony of the speaker's life.
Waiting for the rain to wash away
Anticipation for a cleansing or transformative event like rain.
Helps me to forget
Using distractions to suppress or ignore past mistakes.
Things that I regret
The speaker is haunted by regrettable actions.
For never have done
Regret for things not done, emphasizing missed opportunities.
So I build my own prison
The speaker has created a metaphorical confinement due to personal choices.
That I can’t escape
A realization of being trapped within self-imposed limitations.
These walls are getting higher and higher everyday
The emotional barriers are intensifying over time.
I took your fears and pain
Assuming others' pain and fears to cope with one's own struggles.
And turn them into my home
Transforming others' negative emotions into a personal sanctuary.
I saw you other day
Reflecting on someone else's actions.
Could you change what you did yesterday?
Questioning the possibility of altering past actions.
I am still awake
The speaker is unable to sleep, suggesting a restless state.
Echoes of our plans still remains
Memories of plans made with someone still linger.
As long as you can stay
Desire for someone to remain in the speaker's life.
Like this fucking endless headache
Comparing emotional pain to an enduring headache.
Helps me to believe
Seeking comfort in beliefs, possibly distorted ones.
Give me something real
Yearning for genuine and tangible experiences.
And I could finally feel
Desire to break through emotional numbness and truly feel.
So I found a shelter
Finding solace in a place hidden from others.
That nobody will find me
Avoiding being discovered, possibly due to vulnerability.
Even if I scream it out loud
The speaker's inner turmoil remains concealed.
All these memories
Recalling and possibly being haunted by past experiences.
I took your fears and pain
Continuing the theme of absorbing others' pain for solace.
And made them into my home
Reiterating the act of turning negativity into a personal refuge.
