Remain
Sun-Dried Vibes Lyrics

The moon hangs in full above this road of solitude
The singer is alone and the moon is shining brightly above, emphasizing their loneliness.

Whispers echo throughout the night
The singer can hear faint sounds in the silence of the night.

And I can hear them all they say
The singer is listening closely to the whispers and can understand their meaning.

Such a fitting length of rope
The whispers suggest that the artist should end their life with the same fitting length of rope.

You could use the same
The whispers are encouraging the artist to use the same length of rope to end their life.

Align the stars and spell out your name
The whispers suggest that the singer should end their life in a symbolic way, by aligning the stars and spelling out their name.

I did as I was told
The singer followed the whispers' instructions and attempted to take their own life.

I cannot remain
The artist cannot continue to live with the weight of their darkness and loneliness.

The sun awakens my consciousness
The rising sun brings the artist back to consciousness after their previous attempt to end their life.

And I peek out from the dark
The artist cautiously emerges from darkness and depression.

The outskirts frighten me first
The singer is hesitant to leave the safety of their dark thoughts and surroundings.

Before the charge into a place I try to forget
The artist is about to enter a place that holds painful memories, a place they try to forget.

But that's unethical it's beautifully blossoming into nothing
Although it is wrong to forget or ignore important moments of life, the singer is able to find beauty in letting go of the past.

The best part is that I watch it all from the highest point of denial
The singer is able to observe their past and their journey to overcome it, from a point of denial and detachment.

That same length of rope pulls up the moon
The singer is reminded of their previous attempt to end their life with the same length of rope that seems to symbolically pull up the moon.

And the stage evolves with the backdrop dropping in
The setting changes and evolves as the artist experiences different stages of life.

A whimsical tune is then played slightly off-key
The artist experiences moments of light-heartedness and joy, despite the lingering darkness inside them.

With the sun strolling up poorly colored breathing heavy and pink
The sun is described in a way that suggests it is struggling to rise and overcome the darkness, much like the singer.

A voice struggles while the words are slurred to death
The singer's voice struggles to express their emotions, and their words are heavy with pain and sadness.

"I'm on the edge and I'm caving in this is it I'm losing everything tonight"
The artist is reaching a breaking point and feels that they are about to lose everything.

No more is heard no more is said
After expressing their pain and fears, the artist falls into silence and darkness once again.

Exit stage left
The artist metaphorically leaves the stage of their pain and confronts their emotions.

And the applause is just like thunder
The singer finds strength and support from within after facing their demons.

A place I try to forget but that's unethical its beautifully blossoming into nothing
The artist learns that it is important to face their past, even if it is painful, and that letting go can be a beautiful thing.

The best part is that I watch it all from the highest point of denial
The singer can now observe their journey with acceptance and detachment, from a point of realization and healing.

The ever-present darkness confines me under the pressure the weight is exhausting
Although the singer has made progress, their darkness and pain is still present and can be overwhelming at times, making it feel impossible to escape.

I can hear them all they say such a fitting length of rope you could use the same
Despite making progress, the whispers of darkness still linger in the singer's mind, tempting them to succumb to their pain once again.

I did as I was told I cannot remain cannot remain
The artist acknowledges the temptation to end their life, but ultimately chooses to keep fighting and to not give up.
