Embracing Shadows: Vacant Voice's Journey through Pain and Redemption
Lyrics
Watch me fall asleep, with my eyes open
Expressing the act of falling asleep while appearing awake, perhaps reflecting emotional or mental exhaustion.
I hate to say it but I'll never see the day again
Conveying a sense of despair or hopelessness, anticipating a bleak future.
An open letter to myself, one more addressed to my friends
Writing a letter to oneself, addressing both personal struggles and connections with friends.
You always had my back but I have given in
Acknowledging the support of friends but admitting to succumbing to challenges.
It's taken too long, it's never worth it
Expressing the idea that certain endeavors or struggles are not worth the time or effort.
Someday I'll find the missing piece linked to the hurt, and
Hope for healing and understanding, finding the missing piece related to pain.
I'll let it swallow me up, just like my parents did
Comparing personal struggles to parental influence, suggesting a feeling of being consumed by difficulties.
you know, you always were right, I'm an embarrassment
Acknowledging the correctness of someone's judgment about being an embarrassment.
These are the words I'd say to my missing self
Addressing the self that has been lost due to the influence of alcohol, placed metaphorically on a shelf.
The one the bottle took away, that's sitting on the shelf
Expressing a desire to change but recognizing the difficulty of doing so.
If I could change my ways you know I always would
Reflecting on the challenge of transforming one's behavior.
I guess sometimes it gets hard knowing I never could
Acknowledging the hardship of facing the reality that change may not always be possible.
Shades of grey, shades of black, just give it all you have
Using shades of grey and black as metaphors for challenges; encouraging giving one's best effort.
Eventually you'll see the colors start to flood right back
Believing that perseverance will bring a return of positivity and vibrancy to life.
Shades of grey, shades of black, don't ever lose your heart
Reiterating the importance of maintaining emotional resilience.
Dear yesterday, let's go back to the start
Expressing a desire to return to a time before difficulties arose.
Please listen to me, you'll never see this coming
Issuing a plea to pay attention, suggesting an unexpected turn of events.
It feels good to run away from everyone surrounding
Finding solace in escaping from the people and circumstances that surround and possibly burden.
Your life, your love, your heartbreak
Listing aspects of life, love, and heartbreak as elements to be avoided.
But drowning sorrow in pain, please don't dear yesterday.
Cautioning against seeking refuge in pain and sorrow, particularly in past experiences.
Please listen to me, it's all I've ever wanted
Reiterating the importance of being heard, emphasizing a longing for attention.
I know it's easy to escape when we've all been forgotten
Highlighting the ease of escaping when feeling forgotten by others.
It feels good, it feels great, you'll never bat an eye
Expressing the temporary satisfaction of detachment but warning of impending darkness.
But don't be surprised when daylight starts to die
Anticipating the consequences of avoiding reality when daylight starts to fade.
For so long I've sunk so low, pick me up again one more time
Requesting assistance after a prolonged period of feeling low or defeated.
For so long I've lost control, stitch me up again side by side
Admitting a loss of control and seeking support to regain stability.
