A single grain can tip the scale
Amidst the burden, the scale will prevail
Showing what's worth being here
Storyteller by a hearth of stone
A white little creature purring me
My childhood kingdom gone in time
The islands filling my mind with blue
The one in special, heaven?s court
All the joy unforgiven by this task
An errant soul, homeless and foul
All gone but the will to live to tell the tale
The days are filled with anxiety
Frustration, one right note a day
Where to find a perfect tune
Just do the work and take a step back
All the joy unforgiven by this task
An errant soul, homeless and foul
All gone but the will to live to tell the tale
Dark chambers of my mind
Locked around the neck of my love
None of you understand and it doesn't matter
To a broken marionette like me
(Me)
An errant soul, homeless and foul
An errant soul, homeless and foul
All gone but the will to live to tell the, to tell the tale

"Dark chambers of my mind Locked around the neck of my love
None of you understand And it doesn`t matter
To a broken marionette like me"
On the second stanza, your guess is as good as mine. White typically represents purity, and whether that's meant literally or ironically escapes me. The second line of the second stanza's pretty obvious. All her childhood hopes and aspirations are crumbling under reality.
The islands filling my mind with blue is one of the weirdest phrases I've seen. Islands might mean seclusion? Maybe she's a pariah or a castaway? Filling my mind with blue could mean going crazy, but blue is a calming color. *shrug*
Hopeless and foul
All gone but the will to live to tell the tale"
Never give up however hopeless things may seem...
"A single grain can tip the scale..."
...Because anyone can make a difference.
Aside from that, I absolutely connect to the lines "The days are filled with anxiety, Frustration one right note a day, Meant to find a perfect tune, Just do the work and take a step back". It near perfectly describes 'writer's block'...
