Whispers in the Dark
Indecent Obsession Lyrics

Crying on your mother's pillow
Expressing emotions of sadness and pain while being comforted by a loved one

Crying cause of something that you saw
Feeling distressed or upset due to a past experience or memory

Lie awake alone in your room
Being unable to sleep and feeling isolated from others

Too scared to even look behind your door
Having an intense fear or phobia that prevents someone from performing an action

But when you're young
The following lines describe the perspective and experiences of a young person

Your eyes are oh so sure
Feeling confident and certain in one's beliefs and perceptions

All you see is real, not in your mind
Perceiving something as concrete and objective rather than subjective or imagined

You know at night the candle blows
Feeling a sense of danger or instability during a vulnerable time

Whispers in the dark
The unsettling sounds or impressions heard or perceived during a dark or uncertain situation

Everyone hears
The awareness and universality of these unsettling perceptions and experiences

Something 'bout the dark
The inherent or symbolic implications of darkness as a source of fear or discomfort

It makes us listen to our fears
Being prompted to acknowledge and confront one's own anxieties and apprehensions

They call your name
The haunting or persistent nature of these fears and anxieties

You can't escape the dark
The inevitability or inescapability of these unsettling experiences

When light just dwindles like a flame
The fragility and impermanence of safety, comfort, and stability when in the midst of uncertainty or danger

Paint a face on your desire
Creating an idealized or romanticized image of one's hopes or dreams

Paint a picturesque view of your heart
Visualizing one's emotions or inner world in a way that is idealistic or fondly imagined

Take a slice of all the answers
Attempting to apply simple or incomplete solutions to complex problems or questions

The riddle ends where all your daydreams start
Finding that the dreams and fantasies that one has cultivated do not match up with the reality and complexities of life

Cause if you look you'd see the whole world
The recognition that there is more to the world and one's experiences than the narrow perspective of one's own fears and hopes

Goes round it's only friend
The interconnectedness and symbiotic nature of existence

And realize the world without a sun just
The desperation and fear that comes with the loss of something that brings light, warmth, and hope

Love will find it's own way
The hopeful and optimistic belief that love will find a path or solution despite obstacles and challenges

Even in the dark
The belief that something as powerful and transformative as love can exist even in difficult or uncertain times

This time someone shut the gates
Feeling that one's heart or emotions have been closed off or inaccessible

Around your heart
The particular pain and difficulty that comes with feeling emotionally unavailable or shut down

And lonely somehow lost the key
The experience of feeling disconnected and isolated, unable to access one's own emotions or connect with others

Some things are never meant to be
Accepting that certain things, no matter how much one may want them or hope for them, are not destined to happen
