Turn My Back
Embracing Solitude: Wisdom In Chains' Island of Inner Peace
Lyrics
On this dreary winters day
Reflecting on a gloomy winter day
I closed my eyes and drifted away
Escaping reality by closing eyes and daydreaming
To a place that I’ve never seen
Imagining an unfamiliar place
Not in my deepest dreams
A place more extraordinary than one's dreams
The sun shone so bright and warm
Describing a vivid, warm scene with a bright sun
The ocean floor and sky above
Depicting a serene ocean floor and sky
We’re gently calling all my friends to me
Feeling a gentle pull, calling friends together
Like an old song my mother used to sing
Evoking nostalgia through an old, familiar song
I just turn my back on the world
Choosing to turn away from the troubles of the world
And all my cares just slip away
Finding solace as cares fade away
And Everyone I love
Including loved ones in the shared experience
Can share my affinity
Building a connection through common feelings
We laugh for all eternity
Experiencing eternal joy through laughter
Til every song is sung
Imagining a timeless existence where every song is sung
On my island of solace
Describing a personal refuge or state of peace
Oh my island in the sun
Referring to the peaceful island as a metaphorical sunlit place
Frost upon my window pane
Noticing frost on the window pane
The winter sky so dull and grey
Describing a dull and grey winter sky
Like everything is caving in on me
Feeling overwhelmed as if everything is collapsing
I can’t stop myself this time
Unable to resist succumbing to emotions this time
I’ve had my thrills
Having experienced excitement and thrills
I’ve killed to feel what it means to kill
Reflecting on the consequences of one's actions
I’ve hurt so many and all I have to give
Expressing regret for hurting others
Is tears on my pillow and blood on the floor
Conveying emotional pain through tears and blood
I just turn my back on the world
Repeating the choice to turn away from the world
And all my cares just slip away
Experiencing relief as concerns fade away
And Everyone I love
Inviting loved ones to share in the sense of peace
Can share my affinity
Emphasizing the connection with others through shared feelings
We laugh for all eternity
Continuing the theme of eternal joy through laughter
Til every song is sung
Envisioning a timeless existence filled with music
On my island of solace
Reiterating the idea of a personal sanctuary or solace
Oh my island in the sun
Recalling the metaphorical island as a place in the sun
We’re only here for a minute
Highlighting the brevity of life
A shooting star for a moment
Comparing life to a fleeting shooting star
So Take the gifts when their given
Encouraging appreciation for gifts and moments
Cause we’re alone at the finish
Emphasizing the inevitability of facing life's end alone
I’m island bound
Expressing a sense of being bound to an island
Oh was it all inside my head
Questioning the reality of past experiences
Because this day is cold and dead
Observing the cold and dead nature of the present day
There are dreams we tell ourselves
Acknowledging the existence of self-deceptive dreams
Until we feel that sun again
Anticipating the return of a brighter, positive future
