SHUNNING CHAMBER by THE MAPLES

From our teenage years into adulthood, the continuation of struggle persists within ourselves and may reflect upon others as we age. The harsh reality of leaving the comforts we once enjoyed for monotony. Which leaves behind those who we may have been close to. Where reattachment is no longer the same nor as easy as before. The title Shunning Chamber was given as symbolism of the chamber that we shun ourselves in. Regrets that outcast us from everyone close to us. Silently aging as the past comes to haunt our mistakes. Where individuality is stricken for a higher class. There is growth however but not enough time to tend to our mental states. As the world around us crumbles and the future remain astray. Momentary happiness but a sense of foreboding. A desire for a life that is immaterial. Where dreams take over our expectations. The beginning of the internal decline.

Shunning as the act of shunning yourself or others
Chamber as in to hide, cower, isolate yourself or others.
