Thus Far
Breaking Chains: A Triumph Over Darkness
Lyrics
All my life I've been held back, shown the path yet remained in chains
Throughout my life, I've been restricted, shown a direction, yet remained constrained and limited by external forces.
But tonight's my night, I've risen through the black and broken free of all your reigns
However, tonight marks a significant moment as I've overcome the darkness and freed myself from all your control and dominance.
Cuz all my life I've been restrained, led astray from my own ways
Because all along, I've been held back, diverted from my true path by influences beyond my own choices.
At next moonlight awaits a change, for the rising sun brings better days
The forthcoming change under the next moon signifies a hopeful transition as better times are expected with the arrival of the rising sun.
I dug my own grave, unknowingly, put both feet towards my defeat
I unintentionally caused my downfall, steering myself towards defeat without realization.
But since filled it, with all of the dirt inside of me, dug from my personality
However, I've since rectified it by filling that grave with the negativity within me, essentially burying aspects of my personality that hindered me.
Bring forth the days ahead of me - with open arms and clarity
I eagerly anticipate the days ahead with a welcoming attitude and clear perspective.
Embracing life ahead of me with an open mind and certainty
Welcoming the future with an open and certain mindset, embracing what life has to offer.
Awaiting new found memories, hopeful, at peace and worry free
Awaiting new positive experiences, hopeful, peaceful, and without worries.
Don't chain the beast, just let it be and manifest positivity
Encouraging the freedom of expression and emotions without restraint, fostering a positive outlook.
Who are you to tell me what I'm doing isn't right
Questioning the authority of someone who tries to dictate what I should or shouldn't do.
And who are you to tell me I don't have a home tonight
Challenging the authority of someone who claims I don't have a place to call home.
I don't have a home tonight
Reiterating the lack of a physical or emotional home due to external judgments or influences.
Who are you to tell me I'm doing everything all wrong
Disputing judgments about my actions being entirely wrong, seeing through the facade of authority someone projects.
I can see right through you and the shattered glass throne you're on
Seeing past the superficial power someone claims to have, understanding their vulnerabilities.
Who were you to tell me what I'm doing isn't right
Reflecting on past judgments imposed on my actions.
And who were you to tell me I didn't have a home that night
Challenging previous claims of not having a place to belong during a specific time.
Fuck you! Who even are you? And who am I
An expression of anger and defiance towards an unidentified authority figure, questioning both their identity and one's own.
I just want to curl up and cry for a while
Expressing a desire to retreat and emotionally process by crying.
Sit up, smile, dry my eyes and reconcile
Seeking to compose oneself, smile, and reconcile conflicting emotions after crying.
Inside my mind and fight the urge to die... cuz its not worthwhile
Struggling within oneself, fighting the desire to give in to negative thoughts or self-harm because it's not deemed worthwhile.
Who are you to tell me who to be... now
Questioning the legitimacy of someone dictating one's identity or actions at present.
Cuz all my life I've been held back... fuck that
Reaffirming the history of being held back in life, rejecting that notion with frustration.
Because tonight's my night and I've risen up through the black
Declaring the current moment as one's time to rise above darkness and break free from all controlling influences.
And broken free of all your fucking reigns
Emphasizing the newfound liberation from the dominating control of others.
