Inked in Red
Inked in Red: A Tale of Desolation and Searching
Lyrics
History has drawn these lines across my face
Reflecting on the impact of life experiences, visible as lines on the face.
With bones through flesh, and will it always be this way?
Questioning whether life's challenges, represented as bones through flesh, are enduring.
A change of hands again, clandestine operative
Reference to a covert or hidden operative, possibly describing a manipulative force.
You gun me down when I've got nothing left to give
Feeling betrayed or defeated when support is needed the most.
A tragedy is written - Inked in red
Describing a tragic story marked by red ink, symbolizing pain or blood.
Words bleed onto pages - I try to raise the dead
Expressing emotions bleeding onto pages, attempting to revive something lost.
I count the dying hours underneath the burning skies
Mourning the passing of time beneath a turbulent sky.
I'm running through the forests in the dead of night
Engaging in a metaphorical journey through challenges, represented by forests.
Each way I turn I'm searching for a guiding light
Seeking guidance or clarity in a difficult situation.
But there just don't seem to be any signs of life
Frustration at the absence of positive signs or hope.
So here I go again, I'm crawling on my knees
Resilience in facing challenges, symbolized by crawling on knees.
Through the jagged era of uncertainty
Navigating through a period of uncertainty and hardship.
With my incompetence, it's painted on my face
Acknowledging personal shortcomings, visibly displayed.
And I am left here wondering when I'll leave this place
Contemplating when one will depart from a difficult situation or life.
I count the dying hours underneath the burning skies
Reiterating the passage of time amidst challenges and adversity.
I'm running through the forests in the dead of night
Continuing the metaphorical journey through difficulties at night.
Each way I turn I'm searching for a guiding light
Persistently searching for guidance or hope in various directions.
But there just don't seem to be any signs of life
Expressing a sense of hopelessness or lack of positive signs in life.
Woah, as it seems that this life is waking dream
Suggesting that life feels like a surreal waking dream.
Ohh, as it seems that this life is waking dream
Reiterating the dream-like nature of life, emphasizing its unreality.
I count the dying hours underneath the burning skies
Continuing the reflection on time passing, now under burning skies.
I'm running through the forests in the dead of night
Persisting through challenges, represented by running through forests at night.
Each way I turn I'm searching for a guiding light
Continuing the search for guidance or signs of a better future.
But there just don't seem to be any signs of life
Expressing the ongoing struggle with the perceived absence of signs of a fulfilling life.
