Black Label Society Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Erase what was
Stillborn, I have become
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you, for so very long
So empty
Stillborn, this I understand
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you, for so very long
I waited here for you, so long
I waited here for you, for you
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I've waited here for you, for so very long
I waited here for you, so long
I waited here for you, so long
I waited here for you, so long
I waited here for you, for you
The song "Stillborn" by Black Label Society is a powerful expression of hopelessness and despair. The lyrics speak of a personal transformation, where the singer has become a shell of his former self, and all of his emotions have become dead and gone. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I've waited here for you, for so very long," which suggests a deep sense of longing and desperation.
The opening lines of the song, "Blind me, Erase what was, Stillborn, I have become," suggest a desire to forget or erase a painful past. The use of the word "stillborn" is particularly poignant, as it implies a sense of death or loss, and a lack of potential for growth or change. The singer seems resigned to their fate, understanding that they are no longer who they once were and may never be able to regain that sense of self.
Overall, "Stillborn" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the human experience of loss and despair. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the depth of the singer's longing and the hopelessness of their situation.

Blind me
Make me unable to see the world as it is
Erase what was
Wipe away all memories of my past and what once was
Stillborn, I have become
I am now lifeless and empty, like a stillborn child
The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone
I am no longer capable of experiencing the emotions I once had
I've waited here for you, for so very long
I have been patiently waiting for someone or something to bring me back to life
So empty
I feel completely void of any meaning or purpose
Just a shell of a man
I am only a hollow husk of the person I once was
Stillborn, this I understand
I fully comprehend the hopeless and lifeless state I am in
I waited here for you, so long
I have been waiting here, alone and empty, for what seems like an eternity
I waited here for you, for you
I was hoping that you, whoever you may be, would bring me back to life
I waited here for you, so long
My waiting has been endless, and I have been left with nothing but emptiness and despair
I waited here for you, so long
My soul feels abandoned and lost, as I have waited for someone to save me
I waited here for you, for you
But it seems that no one is coming, and I am still trapped in this lifeless state
