Walk
Lacunas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In which I think that I'm not confident
Blood into my hands I can't deny
A buzz into my ears that makes me mad
But I don't look back
While I'm waiting to die
In a weird lullaby
I'll carry on
And the hope in my heart is dry
But I don't look back
And I cannot reply
I don't look back
While I'm waiting to lie
I'll carry on
While they want to decide for me
Once again
Living in their cage
They are killing me
Paranoia
In which I think I'm not that confident
A tiny hope that burns into my breath
A bitter smile delights me at the end

Line by Line Meaning
Paranoia
The feeling of irrational fear that I am not good enough
In which I think that I'm not confident
The paranoia convinces me that I lack the necessary self-assurance
Blood into my hands I can't deny
The fear is so palpable that I feel it physically, like blood on my hands
A buzz into my ears that makes me mad
The paranoia creates a buzzing noise in my mind that drives me crazy
But I don't look back
Despite the overwhelming paranoia, I refuse to dwell on my past mistakes
While I'm waiting to die
I am plagued by a sense of impending doom
In a weird lullaby
My life feels like a strange, unsettling lullaby
I'll carry on
Despite my fears, I will continue living
And the hope in my heart is dry
Any hope I had is long gone
And I cannot reply
I am too consumed by my paranoia to even respond to others
While I'm waiting to lie
I feel like I am constantly waiting to be found out as a fraud
I'll carry on
Despite the paranoia, I will continue to move forward
While they want to decide for me
I feel like others are trying to control my life
Once again
This feeling of paranoia is not new to me
Living in their cage
I feel trapped and constrained by others' expectations and opinions
They are killing me
The constant pressure and paranoia is slowly destroying me
A tiny hope that burns into my breath
Despite everything, I still have a small glimmer of hope
A bitter smile delights me at the end
I have a sad, resigned smile when I think about how my life may end

This is part of a story
Self Deception, Comalies, and When A Dead Man walks are all part of a story about an innocent man going to jail while the guilty man runs free, but later turns him in
Self Deception is the first part of the story
When a Dead Man walks in the second
Comalies is the third
(This is the total Run down)
A man takes the fall for someone who is guilty
The innocent man thinks that the guilty man will soon turn himself in, but when he doesnt he lashes out and is sentanced to the death penalty (Self Deception)
The man deals with the thoughts of being a "Dead Man Walking" knowing that he is going to die. (When A Dead Man Walks)
The guilty man is feeling guilty for having this man suffer for him. And seeing him already practially dead, but still waiting to be killed will forever be a blame on him, so he finally comes forward (Comalies)
@GermanBeardGuy
I played that Album SO MUCH! My Buddy told me that this has become kind of a nostalgic memory for him: "Sitting in your car, listen to Lacuna Coil" - That is almost 20 years ago now. I was still living in Germany. Now I am in the US and my Buddy is living in France.

@adamfowler5475
Unleashed Memories and Comalies are like how Colony and Clayman were for In Flames. So flawless.
@MrStephen182
LC are my all time favourite band but I think Comalies is a highly overrated album.
@adamfowler5475
@@MrStephen182 I'd have to agree to disagree. Comalies for me, is still to this day Lacuna Coils true, elemental sound. It was like a more perfected Unleashed Memories, but steeped beautifully in haunting, gothic eloquence. Comalies has some of the most mesmerizing tracks they've ever written.

Unhealed Memories, Karmacode, Dark Adrenaline, Broken crown halo, Delirium are all better albums than Comalies for me. I'm not saying Comalies is a bad album as it is not but I just prefer all the other LC albums over it.
@adamfowler5475
@@MrStephen182 That's cool I hear ya man. That just goes to show how subjective each listeners experience truly is, and what makes music so entrancing and unique all together. Comalies for me, was not only the first album I heard from LC, but it was discovered during those unique time periods where you come across a new band, and suddenly everything feels more at peace in your life, due to the album finding that gaping music/spiritual hole you never knew existed until then.
