Tonitrum
Eternal Longing: Emotions Unveiled in 'Tonitrum'
Lyrics
Close your eyes, and picture what we had before
Reflecting on the past, urging to visualize what was once present
No light, the overcast is permanent and I can’t lie
Describing a perpetual gloom, acknowledging the truth without deception
I tried and failed to even the score this time
Attempted reconciliation and failed efforts to achieve parity
This time I can’t stand up my body’s worn, the paper’s torn
Physical and emotional exhaustion, evident through a worn body and torn emotions
Broken up, I can’t get off this free ride
Feeling fragmented and unable to break free from an unrewarding situation
And best released by, this pent up genocide
Expressing relief through a destructive process, possibly self-destructive
I cannot promise that I’ll put out the fire
Uncertain commitment to extinguish a metaphorical fire, a lack of assurance
Keep the light on, sound stealing the horizon
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining awareness amid challenges
Held my breath to see you, but I didn’t long enough
Longing for a connection but falling short, the breath-holding symbolizes anticipation
This death, not real but it’s buried still
Acknowledging a symbolic death that is concealed but still impactful
Can’t haven guessed, the changes that have withered from this
Surprise at unforeseen changes and withering effects on a situation
Be my guest, and test your limits prove you’re strong enough, the safety’s off
Encouraging someone to test their limits, possibly implying risks and challenges
Broken up, I can’t get off this free ride
Reiteration of feeling broken and unable to escape a burdensome situation
And best released by, this pent up genocide
Releasing tension through destructive means, possibly a metaphor for emotions
I cannot promise that I’ll put out the fire
Unsure commitment to extinguish a metaphorical fire, echoing earlier uncertainty
Keep the light on, sound stealing the horizon
Reiterating the importance of maintaining awareness amidst challenges
We can’t leave, I promised you
A commitment to stay, possibly despite difficulties or challenges
Please throw me, I promise to keep waiting until you’re back home
Requesting support and promising to wait patiently for a return
Broken up, I can’t get off this free ride
Repetition of feeling broken and trapped in an unfulfilling situation
And best released by, this pent up genocide
Releasing tension through destructive means, echoing earlier expressions
I cannot promise that I’ll put out the fire
Uncertain commitment to extinguish a metaphorical fire, repeating the theme
Keep the light on, sound stealing the horizon
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining awareness amid challenges, once again
We can’t leave, I promised you
Reiteration of a commitment to stay despite difficulties or challenges
Please throw me, I promise to keep waiting until you’re back home
Seeking reassurance and promising to wait patiently for a return, mirroring line 18
