In Vein
Echoes of Longing: Unraveling the Depths in Thirty Nights of Violence's 'In Vein'
Lyrics
I've grown aware of your absence
Realizing the absence of someone significant
I long for your return
Expressing a strong desire for the person's return
Uncertain of your whereabouts
Feeling uncertain about the person's location
A sickness that binds you to a life of misery
Describing a condition or circumstance that binds the person to a life of misery
Such destruction
Highlighting the destructive nature of the situation
You draw a knife between you and me
Symbolizing a metaphorical separation using a knife
All this time I tell myself it should be me
Internal struggle, feeling that the speaker should be the one facing the challenges
I'll bare your weight and set you free
Willingness to bear the burden for the person's freedom
There is nothing that I wouldn't give
Expressing a willingness to give anything for the person's well-being
To have you here with us once again
Yearning for the person's presence once more
To shape another memory
Desire to create new shared memories
For I am running out of photographs that carry your name
Running out of tangible reminders of the person
Chasing the needle into your hollow
Pursuing a connection with the person, even in difficult circumstances
Now you're gone
Confirmation of the person's absence
Comatose
Describing a state of unconsciousness or emotional numbness
Caressed by a seatbelt
Depicting a protective element (seatbelt) in a detached or passive manner
Your eyes retreat from all that you love
Noting the withdrawal of the person's eyes from things they once loved
My love competing with your lust
Conflict between the speaker's love and the person's lust
Cut from mea love so seething
Expressing pain from being separated from intense, passionate love
Pacify all your teething
Suggesting a need to soothe or calm intense emotions
A needle breaks the skin
Describing the act of piercing the skin with a needle
Trust when I say that I need you here
Reiterating the speaker's need for the person's presence
