Lyrics of lazarus song11/5/2023 While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. These are horrific implications, yet I feel the songs (particularly 'Lazarus') are endowed with a deeper, more intense beauty in this light. The final couplet suggests that this victim didn't die immediately, but his time to go would hopefully be very soon. Lazarus was raised from the dead by Jesus. The chorus line "Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" describes the gleaming reflection of the moonlight in the blood flowing from young 'Davy' as he carrys him down to his final resting place in the valley below. Steven Wilson is clearly a serial-killer, using his music to list his accomplishments. 'Even Less' begins with someone washed up on a Norfolk beach and goes on to talk about a quiet boy buried on the moors (the 'Moors Murderers'?). 'Halo' suggests the listener spend "5 minutes with me in my van". 'Heart Attack In A Layby' is self-explanatory. 'Open Car' describes driving to a farm and burying a dead horse. 'Trains' is about Steven Wilson's cousin being killed by a train.
