about
Most of the songs on this album are defiantly un-autobiographical. I felt like I'd spent most of 2019-2020 just living my life out in the open via my songs, so I wanted to have different perspective on this album (which is probably I had such a hard time writing lyrics, but I digress).
However, this tune is the exception that proves the rule. The lyrics are mostly wrapped in metaphor but from the title down, this is from real life.
lyrics
A dark cloud descends
Enveloping everything
Intentions finally unveiled
No more excuses
Half truths light a dormant fuse
Empty words strewn across the floor
Synchronised contradictory demands
Shadows cling to us all
A black light
Illuminates your soul
Trust under scrutiny
Gradually dissolving
With a hint of an echo of the past
Shadows cling to us all
A black light
Illuminates your soul
Time slows down
And skips a beat
A violent streak
In stark relief
Synchronised contradictory demands
Paralyzed...
