Portraits
Signs Of Darkness Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in this world, no more emotions
Can't find the things that sculptured my soul

Hear the questions from the heart, search the answers on my face
I said (I think): "I'll never walk away from you"
But you did, again and again

Can you forgive me, the mistakes I am
Can you give me what I always needed

"Feel this, what is it"
"It's my heart and its broken by you"





Lost in this world, only one more emotion
I found that thing that sculptured my soul

Overall Meaning

They ask for forgiveness for their mistakes, and for the love and support they always needed from this person.


The chorus contains a powerful exchange between the singer and their former lover: "Feel this, what is it?" "It's my heart and it's broken by you." This encapsulates the pain and betrayal felt by the singer, and the powerful hold their former lover still has on them.


Overall, "Portraits" is a haunting song about loss, regret, and the search for emotional connection. It touches on themes of heartbreak and the difficulty in finding meaning in a world that can feel cold and empty.
