Walls
Beauty's Confusion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn out the light
Turn off my thoughts for once
Who needs this life
Can't speak
Can't hear
Only the hurt is crystal clear
Need you
When you're near me all is fine
Face in my hands again
These walls
My only friend
Face in my hands again
For all time
Silent room
The light is out
My thoughts are gusts of wind
I'm full of doubt
Don't care, don't know
My only love who doesn't show
And this is why
All I ever do these days is cry
Where are you
Why won't you call
Since you've gone
I talk to the wall
Face in my hands again
These walls
My only friend
Face in my hands again
For all time

Line by Line Meaning
Turn off everything
I want to shut down and escape from the world
Turn out the light
I want to hide away in the darkness
Turn off my thoughts for once
I want a break from my constant overthinking
Who needs this life
I feel overwhelmed and don't see the point of my existence
Can't speak
I am silently struggling
Can't hear
I am deaf to the outside world and its noise
Only the hurt is crystal clear
All I can feel is the pain and sorrow within me
Need you
I am longing for someone to fill the void in my heart
Don't hide
I want you to show me your true self and connect with me
When you're near me all is fine
Your presence makes everything better
Face in my hands again
I am overwhelmed and trying to cope with my emotions
These walls
The only things that understand me are the walls around me
My only friend
I feel isolated and alone, except for these walls
For all time
This has become my permanent state of mind
Silent room
The emptiness and quietness of the room reflects my inner state
The light is out
I am surrounded by darkness and despair
My thoughts are gusts of wind
My mind is chaotic and turbulent
I'm full of doubt
I lack confidence and belief in myself
Don't care, don't know
I am apathetic and lost
My only love who doesn't show
The one I need and want is not there for me
And this is why
All of my pain and struggles stem from this one source
All I ever do these days is cry
I am so overwhelmed with sadness that I can't do anything else
Where are you
I am searching for you, the one I need
Why won't you call
Your absence is like a knife in my heart
Since you've gone
Your departure has triggered my descent into darkness
I talk to the wall
The wall is my only companion in my loneliness
