Innerconflict, but wants to find love in order to block out whatever hes been fighting Id rather be a lover than a fighter means hes always been fighting depression/innerdemons/ "I've found peace in your violence"- he has decided to let go of the fighting and the pain.

It is at this low -where two paths seem equally viable- that we find ourselves and become the people that we were meant to be. If you listen carefully to the words you can hear the back and forth this person is having in his head. To speak out against the evil voices that torture our minds. To finally become okay with just being with yourself.

It symbolizes breaking free from the burdens we place on our minds. That staying quiet no longer serves a purpose.Īsking for help isn't a sign of weakness.

Which made you yield it and accept whatever happened. Just like a person who was abused so much until it numbs inside you. It's like peace and quiet within the eye of hurricane. I’m at one, and I’ve been silent for too long I’m at one, and I’ve been quiet for too long Which made you more keeping anything inside in a tight reign. This make any love relationship strained to the end and leave bitter taste on your mouth. Hence, no one ever found the real person behind the facade thus no one really share with you except loneliness.

Somehow, you feel never fit anywhere and choose to done layer of layer of masks to cover it.Īnd I never had someone to call my own, oh nah It's a statement of tiredness when you are in constant battle of one thing to another in life.
