I See Red
Drowning in Red Emotions: Unveiling the Depths of Thousand Foot Krutch's I See Red
Lyrics
These waterfalls I've seen a million times
Reflecting on familiar experiences represented by waterfalls that have become mundane.
They wash away the world that I've seen covering up my mind
The repetitive nature of life obscures the true state of the speaker's mind.
And I can push the walls away untill they're out of sight and mind
Attempting to ignore problems by distancing oneself mentally.
But I'm not strong enough to stand alone here in this tide
Recognizing vulnerability and the inability to face challenges alone.
I don't want you, I'm not trying
Expressing a desire to avoid a connection with someone.
I wish it would just go away
Yearning for the source of discomfort to disappear.
And then I see red... I see red
Experiencing intense anger or frustration symbolized by the color red.
I see red... I see red
-These situations make me feel so cold
Feeling emotionally distant in challenging situations.
It's like I've been replaced by someone I don't know
Sensation of being replaced by an unfamiliar version of oneself.
And I can't say the words untill I've said all that I can say
Struggling to express feelings until all possible words are spoken.
But without you I'm a fraction of who I'm supposed to be
Dependence on a significant other for completeness.
Breathe me in and take me under
Inviting someone to understand and break down emotional barriers.
Crack these walls and let's start again
-And then I see red... I see red
Reiterating the intense emotional state, possibly related to anger.
I see red... I see red
-I see red... I see red
-I see red... I see red
-We can run we can hide, we can live without it
Contrasting the dual nature of human emotions and the shared experience of pain.
It's the same in us, it takes the blame in us
-We can love we can hate, we can live without it
-We're not alone, there's more than this
-We can run we can hide, we can live without it
Repeating the theme of human connection and shared experiences.
It's the same in us, it takes the blame in us
-We can love we can hate, we can live without it
-We're not alone, there's more than this
-There's nothing left, but the sound of my heart
Symbolizing emptiness but seeking renewal and a fresh start.
There's nothing left, but the strings on this guitar
-Take it all, take the hurt and heartache
-Help me start again... ohhh
-There's nothing left, but the sound of my heart
Emphasizing the desire to let go of pain and start anew.
There's nothing left, but the strings on this guitar
-Take it all, take the hurt and heartache
-Help me start again
-We can run we can hide, we can live without it
Highlighting the universality of emotions and the shared human condition.
It's the same in us, it takes the blame in us
-We can love we can hate, we can live without it
-We're not alone, there's more than this
-We can run we can hide, we can live without it
Reinforcing the idea that no one is alone in their struggles.
It's the same in us, it takes the blame in us
-We can love we can hate, we can live without it
-We're not alone, there's more than this
