Tombs
Embracing Scars: Navigating Existence in 'Tombs' by We Are Not Our Bodies
Lyrics
Every mark on our skin is a scar
Every mark on our skin symbolizes a past injury or experience.
To fill the spaces, between the storm
To cope with difficulties, we attempt to occupy the spaces between life's challenges.
Blank faces is who we are
We present blank or emotionless faces, possibly masking our true selves.
Everyone sees what you want to be
People perceive the version of ourselves that we wish to project.
Climbing black ladders of a memory
We strive to overcome past memories and hardships, likened to climbing dark ladders.
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Choosing forgiveness without seeking permission, possibly referring to taking risks.
Ask for forgiveness
Reiteration of the theme: asking for forgiveness rather than permission.
Climbing black
Repetition of "Climbing black," possibly emphasizing struggle or challenges.
Ladders of a memory
Continuation of the metaphor of climbing dark ladders in the realm of memory.
The seasons of myself, I’ll see
The seasons of self-exploration and understanding lie ahead.
Hard to tell
Uncertainty about whether experiences are real or just dreams.
If they’re just dreams
Pondering the nature of dreams and their impact on reality.
If they’re just dreams
Repetition of uncertainty regarding the reality of experiences as dreams.
I'm not you, but your voices in my head
A distinction is made between the self and the internal voices that influence thoughts.
Am I listening to a lesser version of myself
Questioning if one is listening to a diminished version of themselves.
That wants to live inside his hell
The desire to live within personal challenges or struggles.
Formless minds, bending time, create
Mention of formless minds and the manipulation of time to shape destiny.
Create the shape
The act of creating and forming, possibly one's own fate.
Create the shape of fate
The collaborative effort to shape destiny or life's path.
Throw everyone away
A suggestion of detachment from others, perhaps to overcome challenges.
