Glow
Blackfield즽 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I show the scars
Of every fear and doubt
I hurt myself
To let the darkness out
Hurt...

The days go bye
And nothing brings me joy
The glow was strong
When I was a boy
But it's gone...

And the glow
It goes
So slow
It goes

Cracks appear
And passion sleeps away
Colors fade
And turns to shades of gray
Fade away...

And the glow
It goes
So slow
It goes

If you knew the man I used to be
Please hold me under the sea
Or scratch my arms 'till they bleed




Save me
Will you help me to feel ... the glow?

Line by Line Meaning

I show the scars
I wear my emotional scars on my sleeve for all to see


Of every fear and doubt
A result of every fear and doubt that haunts me


I hurt myself
I inflict physical pain on myself


To let the darkness out
To release the inner demons that consume me


The days go bye
The days pass me by without any fulfillment


And nothing brings me joy
Nothing in life brings me happiness


The glow was strong
There was a time when I radiated with happiness and hope


When I was a boy
This feeling of hopefulness and brightness was a distant memory from my childhood


But it's gone...
But that feeling is long gone, and I'm left feeling empty


And the glow
That inner light and hopefulness


It goes
Slowly fades away


So slow
It's a subtle and gradual process


Cracks appear
My life begins to crumble


And passion sleeps away
My enthusiasm and drive for life fade away


Colors fade
The vivid colors of life start to lose their brightness


And turns to shades of gray
The world around me loses its vibrancy and becomes monochromatic


Fade away...
Gradually disappearing until there's nothing left


If you knew the man I used to be
If you knew who I was before I lost the glow


Please hold me under the sea
Please help me escape from reality for a while


Or scratch my arms 'till they bleed
Or inflict physical pain on me to distract from my emotional pain


Save me
Please help me escape from this darkness


Will you help me to feel ... the glow?
Can you help me find that inner light and hopefulness once again?
