Unveiling Existential Pain: True Divine's 'Knives'
Lyrics
Cut, cut, cut away the bondages that keep me here
Cut away the things that bind me, restricting my freedom
Nothing more than simple existential misery
Expressing a simple and pervasive sense of existential suffering
Cold steel on my warm flesh leaves nothing behind but a jagged wounded memory
Describing the physical impact of self-harm, leaving painful memories
True pain is in the fallacy
Suggesting that true suffering lies in deceptive beliefs or illusions
Of what we've become and lies we breathe
Highlighting the disconnect between reality and the falsehoods we live
Lines begin to blur between what's in my mind and what's against my flesh
Blurring the lines between thoughts and physical struggles
Oh, I've seen it before
Referencing familiarity with a recurring situation
A thousand times in fact
Emphasizing repetition, suggesting a pattern of negative experiences
Yet every time the end is always the same
Despite repetition, the outcome remains consistently bleak
Claw and scratch at the walls
Struggling against obstacles, but efforts seem futile
But my nails continue to break
Persistence in the face of adversity, but with little progress
I bleed out
Suffering and emotional release through self-harm
Mental expense
The psychological toll of the struggle
There's nothing more
Expressing a sense of emptiness or nothingness
I don't know the difference between heaven or hell
Uncertainty about the afterlife or the nature of existence
The truth, I'll never sell
Commitment to honesty, refusing to compromise on truth
Keeps me in misery
Persisting in a state of suffering and unhappiness
I've lost all sense of emotion
Loss of emotional connection and resignation to a bleak reality
And I've given up on reality
Abandoning the pursuit of reality for the chance to escape into nothingness
Just for the chance to lose myself in the void again
Choosing to lose oneself in the void, seeking escape
I've lost myself in the void again
Reiteration of losing oneself in the emptiness
I don't know the difference between heaven or hell
Uncertainty about the afterlife or the nature of existence (repeated)
The truth, I'll never sell
Commitment to honesty, refusing to compromise on truth (repeated)
Cut out what keeps me in misery
Reiterating the desire to cut away what causes suffering
