Lyrics

Here in the dark I can see clearly

Expressing clarity and insight in darkness, metaphorically suggesting self-awareness.

All that I am burns on my eyes

Conveying intensity and the indelible impact of personal experiences.

Nobody knows the road that's before me

Highlighting the uncertainty and unpredictability of the future.

Nobody sees the darkening skies

Emphasizing personal struggles and challenges symbolized by darkening skies.


Here in the light I'll be your angel

Committing to a supportive role for someone else, being their "angel" in the light.

Under your spotlight I'm learning to fly

Acknowledging personal growth and development under the attention of someone else.

But one man's perception is another's deception

Highlighting subjective perspectives and the potential for deception.

And dying to feeling I'm living a lie

Expressing inner conflict between intense emotions and the facade of living a falsehood.


And in my understanding I find no reason

Reflecting a sense of confusion or lack of understanding, possibly in the self or others.


You can tell me I'm strong like a gathering storm

Accepting external praise but feeling internally disconnected and isolated.

But I'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world

Conveying a feeling of being lost in one's thoughts and emotionally detached from the world.

You gave me sheltering sky but I reached for the stars

Acknowledging the offer of protection or comfort but aspiring for greater ambitions.

I said I don't believe in who you are

Expressing skepticism or disbelief in the true nature of someone else.

But it's only words

Highlighting the potential emptiness or insincerity of spoken words.


Deep in the dark I feel like I'm falling

Describing a sense of descent or decline, feeling overwhelmed in darkness.

Voices and visions are pulling me down

Referencing internal struggles manifested as conflicting voices and visions.

I need you to help me escape from this ocean

Seeking assistance and support to avoid succumbing to overwhelming challenges.

I need you to stop me from learning to drown

Expressing a desire for intervention to prevent self-destructive tendencies.


You seem so understanding I find no reason

Reiterating a lack of understanding, possibly implying a sense of isolation.


You can tell me I'm strong like a gathering storm

Repeating the theme of external praise contrasted with internal disconnection.

But I'm lost in my thoughts and dead to the world

Echoing the feeling of being lost in thoughts and emotionally detached.

You gave me sheltering sky but I reached for the stars

Recalling the offer of protection but expressing a pursuit of higher aspirations.

I said I don't believe in who you are

Reiterating skepticism or disbelief in the authenticity of someone else.

I never thought I'd let it go this far

Expressing surprise at the extent of personal experiences or actions.

But it's only words

Reiterating the potential emptiness or insincerity of spoken words.
