Lyrics
You've been searching in the silence
You've been seeking answers or meaning in silence.
For a shadow that's been lost
Searching for something elusive or forgotten.
Of a certain disposition
Refers to a specific state of mind or attitude.
That was busy playing God
Suggests a past tendency to act as if in control or godlike.
And you've been holding out for something
Waiting for a significant event or change.
Sure as hell I know I couldn't tell you what
Expresses uncertainty about defining that event.
With a heart that's slowly burning
Describes emotional pain or turmoil.
All the workings of your mind have long been shot
Implies mental processes have been damaged or compromised.
But you were on my side tonight
Someone was supportive during a difficult time.
Don't suffocate the flame that cries
Encourages not suppressing the desire for purity and brightness.
Out for something pure and bright
The longing for something genuine and positive.
You've never had a grip on life
Suggests a lack of control or understanding of life.
And you've been hungry for redemption
Desire for redemption and freedom from past mistakes.
Maddened by the faces in the sky
Feeling disturbed or affected by external influences.
And you've been pining for attention
Seeking attention from a past lover who moved on.
From a lover who has left you far behind
Emotional distance and abandonment.
A fragile look within your eyes
Indicates vulnerability and an unfamiliar emotional state.
And a mark I've never seen upon your skin
Unusual or unseen scars, possibly emotional.
You wrap yourself in vicious lies
Engaging in self-deception or denial.
Buried in the belly of your sins
Bearing the weight of one's sins or mistakes.
But you were on my side tonight
Recollection of past support during a challenging time.
Don't suffocate the flame that cries
Reiterates the importance of not suppressing positive aspirations.
Out for something pure and bright
Reaffirms the longing for purity and brightness.
You've never had a grip on life
Highlights a persistent lack of control over life.
You sit there hiding from your thoughts
Avoidance or escape from one's own thoughts.
You don't know what you're living for
Uncertainty about life's purpose or meaning.
Disappointment takes the form of nervous apathy and more
Feeling let down leading to a state of indifference.
You sit there hiding from your thoughts
Continued avoidance and detachment from thoughts.
Staring blankly at the wall
Staring into nothingness, possibly indicating confusion.
You didn't know how far you'd fall
Realization of the extent of one's decline or failure.
But you were on my side tonight
Recollection of past support during a challenging time.
Don't suffocate the flame that cries
Reiterates the importance of not suppressing positive aspirations.
Out for something pure and bright
Reaffirms the longing for purity and brightness.
You've never had a grip on life
Highlights a persistent lack of control over life.
