Apathy in Greyscale
Lyrics
It costs too much to care
Expressing the high emotional cost associated with caring about things.
Don't have the time, can't find the means
Lack of time and resources makes it difficult to invest in caring.
Staring at static on the TV
Depiction of a passive state, staring at meaningless content on the TV.
Nowhere to go, no place to be
Feeling lost with no specific destination or purpose.
Overcome by apathy
Being overwhelmed and defeated by apathy.
Pouring salt in my own wounds
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, worsening personal wounds.
Open, closed, can't seem to get through
Struggling to communicate or connect with others, feeling stuck.
It's always been anyone else but you
Historically, prioritizing others over oneself, neglecting personal needs.
Every scar secures a moment in time
Each scar represents a significant past experience.
I'll tally my faults one by one
Acknowledging and counting one's own mistakes.
The end result is choking on my own pride
Consequences of pride, leading to a metaphorical choking on one's actions.
In an effort to alleviate my mind
Attempting to relieve mental burden through some action.
In search of touch I unlace every vein
Seeking physical contact, possibly for emotional connection.
Inquiring about the nonexistent answer
Posing unanswerable questions, reflecting on existential concerns.
I catch myself gazing in the mirror
Self-reflection in a mirror, confronting one's own image and identity.
Looking at a vacant figure
Seeing oneself as an empty or lifeless figure.
Your gaze is piercing me from the other side
Feeling the intensity of someone else's gaze or judgment.
My eyes skyward, my lungs beg for air
Physically and emotionally strained, desperately needing relief.
I can feel myself reaching out
Attempting to reach out for help or connection.
But I can't seem to move
Feeling immobilized, unable to make progress or change.
Everything in slow motion, everything is frozen
Perceiving a sense of timelessness and stagnation in life.
