Daggers
Daggers of Love: A Heart's Battle in Silence
Lyrics
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will always kill me
Expressing vulnerability to emotional harm from words, emphasizing their impact.
Still my heart stands alone, cause there'll never be a we
Loneliness and a realization that a romantic "we" is unattainable.
I know there's no chance for us, but a world without you just plain sucks
Acknowledging the impossibility of a relationship, yet highlighting the pain of a world without the person.
If you weren't there I don't know who I'd be, probably alone, I, myself, and me
Dependency on the person, uncertain identity without them.
I poured out blood, sweat, and tears
Metaphorical representation of effort and sacrifice in the relationship.
Awoke all my greatest fears
Confrontation with deep fears and anxieties.
Just wanted to be hers
Desire for a romantic connection with the person.
All I have now is daggers
Suggesting emotional pain or betrayal experienced, represented as "daggers."
Showed her all of my life
Sharing one's life experiences with the person.
And then she slices like a knife
The person hurting emotionally, akin to a sharp knife.
Go to reach, then it's gone
Efforts to connect or grasp the relationship are fleeting.
Love's such a dagger
Love is portrayed as a double-edged sword, causing pain.
You may run, but I can't hide from the darkness that I hold inside
Inability to escape inner darkness and emotional struggles.
Told that I have to comply with all these rules of life
Feeling compelled to conform to societal expectations.
Don't know who to be anymore, things are out of my control
Loss of control over identity and relationships.
Who to love and who to ignore, why my heart's an empty hole
Heartache and emptiness, questioning love choices.
I poured out blood, sweat, and tears
Continuation of metaphorical sacrifices and challenges in the relationship.
Awoke all my greatest fears
Reiteration of facing deep fears and anxieties.
Just wanted to be hers
Desire for a romantic connection persists amid challenges.
All I have now is daggers
Intensifying emotional pain symbolized as "daggers."
Showed her all of my life
Continued sharing of life experiences with the person.
And then she slices like a knife
The person causing emotional pain, likened to a cutting knife.
Go to reach, then it's gone
Efforts to grasp or retain the relationship are futile.
Love's such a dagger
Reiteration of love causing significant emotional pain.
Darkness
Emphasizing a state of darkness, possibly emotional or mental.
Feeling numb
Feeling emotionally numb, detached from feelings.
All alone
Sense of isolation and a longing for a place of comfort.
Just trying to get home
The struggle to find solace or a sense of belonging.
Screaming
Expressing intense emotions, possibly unheard or ignored.
In silence
Inner turmoil and emotional pain manifesting silently.
Heart beating
Heartache and emotional distress.
Internal bleeding
Internal emotional suffering and turmoil.
I poured out blood, sweat, and tears
Repetition of metaphorical sacrifices and confronting fears.
Awoke all my greatest fears
Continued confrontation with deep fears and anxieties.
Just wanted to be hers
Desire for a romantic connection despite challenges.
All I have now is daggers
Intensifying emotional pain, symbolized as "daggers."
Showed her all of my life
Continued sharing of life experiences with the person.
And then she slices like a knife
The person causing emotional pain, likened to a cutting knife.
Go to reach, then it's gone
Efforts to grasp or retain the relationship are futile.
Love's such a dagger
Reiteration of love causing significant emotional pain.
Love's such a dagger
Summarizing love as a painful and piercing experience, described as a "dagger."
