Battle Scars
Ashfall Lyrics

Stone cold feet
Her feet are numb, possibly from standing for too long or due to the coldness of the situation.

Blood shut eyes
She has closed her eyes tightly, either due to fear, pain, or trying to shut out the reality of what is happening around her.

Purge her screaming soul
She is trying to cleanse herself of the emotional pain and trauma she is experiencing, indicated by the use of the word 'screaming'.

She won't forget nightmares along
The experience has caused her significant distress and trauma, which she will carry with her as she moves forward in life.

The haunting, underneath it crawls
She is being haunted by the fear and pain of what she has experienced and it feels like it is slowly consuming her from within.

Beyond these words
There is more to the situation that what can be expressed through words alone.

(Her heart loathed beating)
She is overwhelmed with negative emotions to the point where she dislikes the beating of her own heart, a symbol of life and vitality.

Between the lines
The true pain and suffering she is experiencing is hidden just beneath the surface and cannot be fully conveyed through words alone.

(Enough pain she's enduring)
She is experiencing an extraordinarily high level of pain and suffering, enough to warrant expressing it through music.

Someone save me from myself
She is so overwhelmed with pain and trauma that she is unable to save herself and is calling out for someone to come to her aid.

(One last slit and she's done)
She is considering suicide as a means of escape from the pain she is experiencing.

Just about a minute and it's gone
She believes that death will come quickly and will be a way to quickly end the pain she is experiencing.

Her body's numb and she's not breathing
She is either paralyzed with fear or has passed away due to an act of self-harm.

('My letter is too vague)
She has tried to convey her pain to someone through writing, but feels that her message was not clear or forceful enough.

I'm sorry if I failed
She may feel that she has not done enough to save herself or that her message was not communicated effectively.

Burning obscure manifestation
The pain she is experiencing feels like it is consuming her, taking the form of an internal flame which is not visible to others.

Fed with the desire to end the agony
She is driven by a desperate need to escape the pain she is experiencing and will do almost anything to make it stop.

Fed with the desire to end the motherfucking agony
An intensified version of the previous line to convey the severity of the pain she is experiencing.

Gone deaf with the silence through her imagination
The overwhelming silence around her feels deafening, as if it is overwhelming her senses and causing her to retreat inward.

Dying inside this endless cruelty
She feels as if she is slowly dying inside, overwhelmed by the pain and cruelty of the situation she is in.

Slowly, smoothly dying inside this endless cruelty
An intensified version of the previous line to convey the slow and smooth nature of her decline.

No remorse, his violence slowly licks her thick skin
She is experiencing violence or abuse from someone who has no remorse, indicating a lack of empathy or concern for her well-being.

No remorse, she finds herself ferociously broken
The violence or abuse she is experiencing has caused her to break apart or shatter, both physically and emotionally.

Rest your mind into the darkness of a beautiful day
She may be trying to find peace in the darkness, where she can be alone and attribute the loss or the trauma to the beauty of the stars, when she can perfectly visualise everything up in the sky and connect to the stars.

Clinging towards his agitated self
She may have been in a difficult relationship, and while trying to detach herself from it, she still holds on to their self-destructive behaviour and clings onto the love with which she was raised.

(Her heart loathed beating)
A repeated line to emphasise the strength of her negative emotions and the internal struggle she is facing.
