Retrograde
Journey Through Shadows: Unveiling the Depths of 'Retrograde'
Lyrics
As quiet as we can be
Expressing a desire for silence or restraint
Silent over coals
Remaining quiet or unresponsive despite intense emotions
Dance around ourselves, we show
Dancing around self-awareness, revealing one's true self
The truest color lights let last
Suggesting the enduring impact of genuine emotions
We are light cast into space
Describing the essence of individuals as light in the vastness of space
Fragmented then given weight
Highlighting the process of fragmentation and assigning significance to elements
Is there something that I don’t get
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding
Am I bleeding for nothing
Questioning the purpose or significance of personal suffering
Buried in debt
Alluding to a sense of being overwhelmed or burdened, possibly metaphorical debt
I swallow my pride and forfeit my cunning
Choosing humility over cleverness, possibly in a challenging situation
A pressure inside
Describing an internal pressure or turmoil
Bursting and ruptured
Portraying a state of emotional explosion or breakdown
Find me my escape
Seeking a way to escape from the pressures or challenges
Plague your love
Associating love with a detrimental influence or affliction
Plague look what you’ve done
Reiterating the negative consequences of love
Plague your love
Repeating the idea of love as a source of harm
Plague look what you’ve done
Reiterating the negative consequences of love
Your sickness
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of a negative influence or condition
Your sickness
Repeating the idea of a widespread negative influence
Your sickness
Reiterating the idea of a widespread negative influence
Deep in my veins
Suggesting the deep penetration of a negative influence into one's being
Your sickness
Repeating the idea of a negative influence deeply embedded
Your sickness
Reiterating the idea of a negative influence deeply embedded
Your sickness
-Plunged deep beneath the flood
Describing a submersion beneath an overwhelming force or emotion
Wash my hands of all this blood
Expressing a desire to cleanse oneself from guilt or responsibility
Keep our eyes on the flames
Focusing attention on a destructive or transformative force
Visions in the smoke arranged
Describing visions or revelations amid chaos
Show us our true form
Requesting revelation of true identity or nature
Show us our true form
Repeating the request for self-discovery
Plague your love
Associating love with a detrimental influence or affliction
Plague look what you’ve done
Reiterating the negative consequences of love
Plague your love
Repeating the idea of love as a source of harm
Plague look what you’ve done
Reiterating the negative consequences of love
Your sickness
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of a negative influence or condition
Your sickness
Repeating the idea of a widespread negative influence
Your sickness
Reiterating the idea of a widespread negative influence
Deep in my veins
Suggesting the deep penetration of a negative influence into one's being
Your sickness
Repeating the idea of a negative influence deeply embedded
Your sickness
Reiterating the idea of a negative influence deeply embedded
Your sickness
