Tema

Una pista profundamente personal y emocional que trata sobre la naturaleza atormentadora del dolor, la culpa y la pérdida. El narrador es atormentado por un recuerdo o el fantasma de un ser querido (**'Sombras Venenosas'**) que lo está 'observando'. La letra se centra en el ciclo interminable de dolor, vergüenza y secretos guardados, sugiriendo la incapacidad de encontrar paz o consuelo después de una pérdida significativa.

Letra

How much pain do you need to feel? How much shame do you have to conceal? There is no sunshine, just endless nights Nobody's there, nobody cares when you cry Is it my face you see, do I haunt you in your sleep On your hands and knees, when you crawl through your nightmares When there's no more grace, does your heartbeat start to race? Clawing everywhere in the dark, poisonous shadows How many secrets do you keep inside? How many sins do you have to hide? The haunting masses have blackened the sun You'll pay for everything you've done, one by one Is it my face you see, do I haunt you in your sleep On your hands and knees, when you crawl through your nightmares When there's no more grace, does your heartbeat start to race? Clawing everywhere in the dark, poisonous shadows "... It's like, I woke up, and she was right there I could almost touch her, although she's been gone for years now I can feel her... I can feel her watching me"
