| Shinedown – Burning Bright Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
I can't help but feel like this song is about struggling with depression. Think about it. "I feel like there is no need for conversation" (No need to try to explain how I feel, it's too difficult.) "And I would rather reveal myself than my situation" (As another commenter said, I would rather talk about myself than the state of confusion I'm in.) "The more the light shines through me I pretend to close my eyes" (The more people try to help me, I pretend I don't hear them, and shut them out.) "The more the dark consumes me I pretend I'm burning, burning bright" (The more I sink into depression, I pretend I'm happy around everyone.) "I wonder if the things I did were just to be different To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence" (I try to do different things, good or bad doesn't matter, to not have a reason to think of how my existence is a waste.) "And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation" (I would save myself if I could, I'm so desperate to feel better.) That may only be how I take it as because I don't wanna be alone, but eh, it's a song. Take it however you wanna take it. |
