Closure
Divine Heresy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Distorted, confused, unaborted
You're discarding as a product of circumstances
Granted existence, bestowed to me
Give me closure
Searching for solace
Closure - am I still lost?
And so you've forgotten me
The boy devoid of your nursery
For these lifetimes gone by
I can't help question why
Through the years, denied this closure
Searching for solace
Closure - am I still lost?
Tears gone uncried
Torrid inside
And no face to relate to names to reply
Especially when the memories cut like a knife
Left with just pages, to which I confide
Give me closure
Searching for solace
Closure - am I still lost?

Given the opportunity to exist
Give me closure
Asking for resolution
Searching for solace
Seeking comfort
Closure - am I still lost?
Wondering if completion will provide direction
And so you've forgotten me
Feeling abandoned and overlooked
The boy devoid of your nursery
No longer a part of a nurturing environment
For these lifetimes gone by
Over the course of many years
I can't help question why
Unable to understand the reason
Through the years, denied this closure
Longing for completion for an extended period of time
Tears gone uncried
Unexpressed emotions
Torrid inside
Intensely felt but not shown outwardly
And no face to relate to names to reply
No one to connect with from previous experiences
Especially when the memories cut like a knife
Particularly painful thoughts
Left with just pages, to which I confide
Turning to written records for emotional release
