Lyrics
You can see the ring of darkness covering up the light
You can see the contrast between darkness and light, where darkness seems to overshadow the light.
But to see it is to admit that it's just passing by
Recognizing the passing nature of this darkness is acknowledging its transient existence.
My friend in New York City, she calls me time to time
The singer's friend from New York contacts them occasionally.
And I tell her made up stories but never tell her lies
The singer shares fictional stories but refrains from telling outright lies.
And the weight of my heart, it swings me left to right
The emotional burden the singer carries swings them between extreme feelings.
Like a wrecking ball on a six foot chain
Analogizing the swinging emotions to a heavy, uncontrollable force akin to a wrecking ball on a chain.
Forever, all my life
This emotional turmoil seems to have been a constant in the singer's life.
It only goes to show, sweet misery
Acknowledgment of the presence of bittersweetness or hardship in life.
You can follow me down to the end of my path
Inviting someone to accompany the singer through their life journey.
But you still gotta go through me, mmhm
The singer stands as an obstacle that must be confronted or dealt with.
I believe, that if for the moment, in heaven I reside
Belief in the possibility of experiencing heaven-like moments temporarily, even within the confines of the mind.
It might as well be anywhere, so why not in my mind
Suggesting that mental spaces can serve as a form of heaven, irrespective of physical location.
Oh you, yeah you, who else am I talking to?
Directly addressing an unspecified person or entity.
Go sit down by your lonesome and entertain the fool
Encouraging someone to reflect alone and engage with their inner thoughts.
I was late to the party and I'm eating someone's food
The singer arrived late at an event and partakes in someone else's resources.
But I've never been so hungry to be without a clue
Expressing a profound desire to understand without having all the answers.
It only goes to show, sweet misery
Reiteration of the idea that hardship or sorrow is an inherent part of life.
You can follow me down to the end of my path
Repeating the invitation for someone to accompany the singer on their life journey.
But you still gotta go through me
Stating the necessity of confronting or overcoming the singer's presence or influence.
Yeah, You can follow me down to the end of my path
Restating the invitation to join the singer on their life journey.
But you still gotta go through me
Emphasizing the necessity of dealing with the singer's presence or influence.
