This song is about losing someone close, of family member or partner, possibly to mental health, and dealing the uncomfortable, almost unbearable situations where denial and avoidance of emotional participation led to guilt and overwhelm. At the time, you went against your gut to do more, and then continued down your selfish path. Then you regret it once they've passed or been institutionalized perminently, because the clarity release has afforded you is showing you things about yourself that you wish you could have handled better, and that unkind selfishness, self concern is permanently engraved on your soul considering the finality of the situation. Any intensions now meaning nothing "broken soldiers". "I spend the days with my Vanity" "All my life in a tower of foil" "I didn't give you minutes, not even moments" "Shaded feelings, I don't believe you" "When you were there before my eyes" "Took you for granted, no one planned it" "I count the hours since you slipped away" "Words don't hold you, broken soldiers" |
