A Failure to Admit
Stone From Delphi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Loyalties divided
Grabbed the gods by their throats
Create the space to walk in
Soothing blow in my ear
Folds me up and i’m gone
Bolt, the doors, please
You’re tôo good for me
(And it’s coming around)
Spiteful thoughts surround you
My peaceful mind is dead
The darkest place you know
Hold the hope I live in
Bolt the doors, please
You’re too good for me
(And it’s coming around)
In "A Failure to Admit," the lyrics speak about the internal struggle a person faces when dealing with conflicting loyalties and emotions. The opening line, "Wishful smiles on your face, Loyalties divided," portrays the tension felt when the desire to please competing parties results in an internal strife. The following line, "Grabbed the gods by their throats, Create the space to walk in," showcases the powerlessness one feels when they try to control the outcome of their situation.
The next verse delves deeper into the emotions felt by the individual. "Soothing blow in my ear, Folds me up and I'm gone," suggests the comfort taken in the temporary relief of ignoring the problem at hand. The chorus, "Bolt the doors, please, You're too good for me (And it's coming around)," shows the fear of letting others see the real self, afraid that they will not live up to the expectations placed upon them.
The final verse highlights the conflicting thoughts that plague the person, "Spiteful thoughts surround you, My peaceful mind is dead, The darkest place you know, Hold the hope I live in." The individual feels abandoned by their own thoughts as they see other people as a threat or obstacle to their inner peace.
