I would like to know, given the name of the song, the video, the sound of
The music, and the lyrics of this song, what's your take on it?
What do you believe it means? And the message within it.

I'd appreciate all opinions:) Thanks

Epiphany lyrics

Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way.
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
'Cause I can't take anymore of this,
I want to come apart,
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
Yet I always try to hide
'Cause I'll talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed.

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

He's talking to someone he worships? But he should worship himself, and he knows it. It is painful, but he is stuck in this place until,

"the right thing is revealed"

It's all an excuse. But he knows that and it makes him sad to be stuck.

Just a guess.

It's weird because I had this song stuck in my head the other day and the part that I kept playing over and over was "I speak to you in riddles cause my words get in my way." What I get from it is that this person has a hard time saying what he's feeling and it's tearing him apart.
