Heart of Babel - [ Through The Pain ] - Emotional

[ Through The Pain ]

I’ve watched my whole life get wrapped up

Into a fiction of libel

I’ve watch this fairy tale, no kidding

Turn straight into a psycho

I’m half amazed, half appalled

And yet still fully on trial

And while some things meet their extinction

I’m just keen on survival

You can run me through the fires

Of the flames of your evils

You can scorch away our past

Show your hate is deceitful

You can manipulate the facts

Build a foundation so feeble

And then stand on the facade

As you defraud and turn penal

706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnl2TZnfS4

Hiding your shame in the shadows

To the display of illusions

Trying to win at all stakes

By any means or solution

Fully engaged on the warpath

Lead you straight into ruin

Trying hard to mask the facts

While your acts leave them proven

706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRodp7Oq6M

I’ll tell you right now

You’ve forgot the face of you Father

For all love has been abandoned

And you do Him no honor

You chose these actions with intent

To which you’re not even bothered

Because you’ve always lived a lie

You’re just a cheat and a robber

706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXu4ApMV8c

With your self-seeking glory

Your drama and theatrics

Your pride and your arrogance

As a self-righteous fanatic

Raise all the hell that you want

We both know it’s your habit

You are as fake as they come

Dwelling, a psychosomatic

706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3At57IoOO

We both know that you’re broken

But that’s just not an excuse

Instead of remaining gracious

You went back to your roots

Rooted in manipulation

And for you it just suits

If that’s the life that you lead

That’s all you’ll ever produce

706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VEC2ywu6b

And everything you achieve

Is just tainted and tarnished

You keep toiling in efforts

To seem polished and varnished

Whitewashing a tomb

Decorating in garnish

But I see right to you soul

And it’s shrouded in darkness

706Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaSo3WWeEn

So go ahead and trample me

Just slander my name

If you want to be vindictive

Feel free to try and take aim

Try to kill me and break me

And bury your shame

Because the truth is, all I ever did

Was love you through the pain

ABOUT THE POEM

The poem is a powerful expression of emotional betrayal, resilience, and moral condemnation. It conveys the speaker’s anguish over being misrepresented and mistreated by someone they once loved, while asserting their clarity, integrity, and determination to survive despite injustice.

The speaker feels their life has been twisted into a false narrative—"a fiction of libel"—crafted by another person who has descended into deception, cruelty, and self-deception. This person is portrayed as manipulative, prideful, and spiritually broken, hiding behind illusions and performative righteousness while committing emotional or moral harm. Despite their efforts to appear respectable, the speaker sees through the facade, describing their soul as "shrouded in darkness."

Emotional and Moral Conflict

The speaker has witnessed a transformation in the other person: from something resembling a "fairytale" to a "psycho," suggesting a descent from idealized love or trust into psychological torment.
They feel unjustly put "on trial" despite being the victim, emphasizing a reversal of justice.
There is a deep sense of betrayal—not just personal, but spiritual. The line "You’ve forgot the face of you Father" implies the offender has violated not only human trust but divine principles, abandoning love and honor.

Resilience and Defiance

The speaker acknowledges the harm they can endure—"You can run me through the fires"—but insists on survival.
They refuse to be silenced or erased, declaring they see the truth beneath the other’s polished exterior.
Even in the face of slander and attempted destruction, the speaker affirms their own innocence and enduring love: "all I ever did / Was love you through the pain."

Themes

Deception vs. Truth: The central tension lies between the offender’s elaborate lies and the speaker’s unwavering perception of reality.
Spiritual Decay: The abuser is depicted as spiritually dead inside, like a "whitewashed tomb"—clean on the outside, corrupt within.
Survival Through Love: Despite everything, the speaker’s identity remains rooted in love, not revenge or hatred.

The poem ultimately serves as both an indictment and a declaration of strength—a voice rising from suffering, refusing to be broken, and naming the truth even when silenced.
