Maze -Struggling In The Darkness-
dustbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where am I?
Even if I try to run,
I can't catch up to you
In the shadow of a skyscraper
I'm looking up at the sky
I hear you laughing
I'm just in a mess
Struggling in the darkness
I'm feeling my way,
looking for the exit
of this maze
Oh I don't wanna lie
Even if I make a detour
I just wanna be true to myself
I'm walking alongside the wall
I can't see
even an inch ahead of me
Where can I turn on the light?
You're laughing at me
from far away
I'm freaking out here
You're enjoying my pain
Where do I have to go?
Struggling in the darkness
I'm feeling my way,
looking for the exit
of this maze
Oh I don't wanna lie
Even if I make a detour
I just wanna be true to myself
(I don't wanna be like you!)
I wanna be true to myself
You created a web of lies,
pretending to be a hero
One day you'll be exposed
I'll be the last one to laugh!!
The lyrics of dustbox's song "Maze -Struggling In The Darkness-" depict a sense of confusion and uncertainty, as the singer finds themselves lost in a metaphorical maze. The opening lines question the reality of the situation, pondering whether it is all just a dream and expressing a sense of disorientation by asking "Where am I?" The inability to catch up to someone, likely a significant figure in their life, adds to the feeling of being lost and left behind.
The imagery of being in the shadow of a skyscraper and looking up at the sky creates a sense of being overwhelmed by the vastness and complexity of the world around them. The laughter the singer hears may symbolize a sense of mockery or detachment from their struggles, further deepening their feelings of loneliness and confusion. The repeated question of "Where do I have to go?" highlights the search for direction and purpose in a seemingly endless maze of uncertainties.
The theme of struggling in darkness recurs throughout the lyrics, emphasizing the difficulties the singer faces in navigating their way through life's challenges. The search for an exit from the maze symbolizes the desire to find a way out of their current predicament and to discover a path towards clarity and resolution. The refusal to lie and the determination to stay true to oneself suggests a commitment to authenticity and integrity, even in the face of obstacles and temptations to stray from one's core values.
The mention of being laughed at and mocked by someone in the distance adds a layer of betrayal and mistreatment, highlighting the singer's feelings of being taken advantage of and emotionally manipulated. The reference to someone creating a web of lies and pretending to be a hero suggests a deceptive and self-serving individual whose true nature will eventually be revealed. The declaration that the singer will be the last one to laugh implies a sense of justice and vindication, as they anticipate a turning of the tables and a reclaiming of their power and agency in the face of adversity.
