Hangman
Sheavy Lyrics

The song "Hangman" by Sheavy is a poignant evocation of loss, regret and the struggle with one's own demons. The opening lines "Take your memories, the things you've seen, Close your eyes and watch it like a dream" suggests that the singer wants to disconnect from reality and use the past like a dream to escape from the present. However, he is unable to find solace within himself and the universe inside him starts to slowly die. The lines "Green with envy and colored with lies" highlights the singer's feelings of betrayal and disloyalty towards someone, which is slowly causing him to spiral downwards.

The chorus "See the difference between you and me, I'm not the only one, Dancing with demons who die in the setting sun" is a very powerful statement. The singer is trying to show that he is not alone in his struggles, and that others are also fighting their own battles. He uses the metaphor of "dancing with demons who die in the setting sun" to suggest that such issues are temporary, and they will eventually come to an end.

The second verse "Trusting in yesterday, the first time by, Leave your heart and be the last to try, Promising everything and dying to live, The lesson's learned and still you can't forgive" explains the singer's inability to move on from the past. He is haunted by memories of something that happened before and that has caused him immense emotional pain. The pain is so much that he has stopped living and is dying just to survive.

Overall, the song is a beautiful and emotional rendition of the struggles of life. It inspires the listener to strive for better things in life and to fight the demons that sometimes confront us. The beautiful use of metaphors and imagery makes the song truly memorable.
