From the recording Shuttered Memories
A poignant exploration of loneliness and despair, capturing the relentless monotony of a life trapped in darkness and routine. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of weariness and hopelessness, yet also hint at quiet resilience as the protagonist continues to endure despite the heavy burdens of sorrow and isolation.
Lyrics
Under the lamp, she stands alone
Hands moving, a heart of stone
Covered in silver, hidden face
Life's a grind, no saving grace
Every night, she fights the dark
Silent tears, a heavy heart
Threads unravel, seams undone
In this room, there ain’t no sun
In the dim light, where shadows play
She irons her dreams away
Day by day, the same old song
The iron hisses, all night long
Wrinkles smooth, but not her pain
Tears fall softly like drizzling rain
Gloom dances upon the wall
Lonely echoes, a silent call
Fabric folds like life's own map
The future long lost in this trap
In the dim light, where shadows play
She irons her dreams away
She feels so tired, her spirit’s worn
Memories tattered, emotions torn
The patterns old, just like her soul
In this life, there's no more control
But she keeps on, night and day
In monotone hues, not bright nor gay
Body masked in silver sheen
In her eyes a distant gleam
In the dim light, where shadows play
She irons her dreams away
