Shattered Glass
Shattered Reflections: Unveiling the Pain Within
Lyrics
Hands on my throat choke desire from my mind
Feeling suffocated and restrained, experiencing a suppression of desire.
My genetic flaw casts joy from your eyes
A reference to a hereditary flaw causing the removal of joy from the other person's eyes.
Fractured reflectionI see the truth
Seeing the truth through a broken or distorted reflection.
Unmitigated pain seated in my youth
Intense, unmitigated pain rooted in the speaker's youth.
The light of your life expunged by my sin
The speaker's wrongdoing extinguishing the positive influence of the other person in their life.
I enter the room to showcase my wrath
Entering a room to display intense anger or resentment.
Drown out the noise with a gentle snap
Suppressing external disturbances or emotions with a sudden, quiet action.
Then the rest of your body being broken in half
A violent act leading to severe harm to the other person's body.
I will show you my pain
Expressing the intent to make the other person understand the speaker's pain.
Finding my way home I brandished my clenched fist
Returning home aggressively, ready for confrontation with a clenched fist.
Barreled it towards the door
Physically striking the door in an attempt to gain entry.
I found it locked and glimpsed inside
Finding the door locked and glimpsing into a once happy home where the speaker no longer belongs.
A happy home where I no longer lie
Realizing the loss of a joyful home and the speaker's absence from it.
I laid myself down for you love
Laying oneself down for the sake of love, possibly in a self-sacrificial manner.
My form met with an unfeeling smile
Encountering an emotionless smile in response to the speaker's vulnerability.
I became a beacon of your pride
Becoming a source of pride for someone, despite being damaged.
A mangled omen of your demise
Becoming a symbol of the other person's downfall or demise.
I seek the comfort of memory
Seeking solace in memories while experiencing emotional pain.
I'm given the pain of a bastard child
Enduring the emotional pain associated with being an illegitimate child.
Stricken with tragedy
Afflicted by a tragic fate or circumstance.
Portraits of my younger self line the walls
Images of the speaker's innocent past displayed on the walls.
A subtle reminder of innocence
A reminder of lost innocence.
I steer myself to loss
Guiding oneself toward loss or defeat.
A crimson betrayal splatters the window red
A vivid depiction of betrayal, with blood splattering and staining a window.
It's former beauty stained by my disgrace
The window, once beautiful, now tainted by the speaker's disgrace.
Abandoning my home, I steal a backwards glance
Leaving home but stealing a backward glance at the destruction left behind.
Catching a final view of the destruction of my past
Observing the final view of the speaker's past in ruins.
Conditioning myself to your loss, I lost my way
Adapting to the loss of the other person but losing one's own way in the process.
Gazing through the shattered glass, I see your fate
Gazing through shattered glass, witnessing the other person's fate.
