Lyrics
It's hard when you lose focus, to notice
Expressing difficulty in maintaining focus and awareness.
That on and on and on the world will go
Emphasizing the continuous nature of the world's existence.
Even when you lose control
Despite losing control, the world persists.
The Rules that are never broken start corrupting us
Rules, when unbroken, can become corrupting forces.
But on and on and on the world will turn
The world continues turning, even in challenging situations.
Even when it goes from bad to worse
Even when situations worsen, the world persists.
It's hard to know if people really want go
Uncertainty about people's willingness to progress.
We all say life is short so live it
Contradiction between acknowledging life's shortness and not truly living it.
But That's talk
Skepticism about the talk of living life to the fullest.
Admit it admit it
Encouraging acknowledgment of discomfort.
Why uncomfortable?
Prompting reflection on the reasons for discomfort.
You know how the story goes
Referencing familiarity with life's repetitive patterns.
On and on and on and on
Highlighting the ongoing nature of life's challenges.
But is there any hope?
Expressing a lack of hope in the face of challenges.
No
Emphasizing the absence of hope.
Why uncomfortable?
Reiterating the theme of discomfort.
That question in your soul
Posing a question about the source of discomfort.
On and on and on it goes it goes
Repeating the idea of the continuous and persistent nature of discomfort.
It goes
Repetition for emphasis.
All that money, still no hope
Observation that wealth doesn't guarantee hope.
From being hung
Reference to a hanging situation approaching.
It's getting close, so
Time is running out, suggesting urgency.
Wake up and grab the rope
Encouragement to wake up and confront challenges.
What you fighting for?
Questioning the purpose and goals of one's struggles.
Don't tell me if you know you know
Request to withhold information if already known.
Because I've seen more than I could show
Claiming to have witnessed more than can be expressed.
Father, won't you wake me
Seeking guidance and awakening from a paternal figure.
Teach me to be the man I need to be
Desire to be taught how to become a better person.
So what you choosing?
Presenting a choice and questioning decisions.
East to west the nation's moving on
Describing the movement of a nation from east to west.
We're done
Declaring the end of a situation or experience.
You may own a lot but I'm not one
Emphasizing the value of personal integrity over material possessions.
Why uncomfortable?
Reiteration of the theme of discomfort.
You know how the story goes
Revisiting the familiarity of life's repetitive patterns.
On and on and on and on
Repeating the idea of the ongoing nature of life's challenges.
But is there any hope?
Reemphasizing the absence of hope.
No
Reiterating the lack of hope.
Why uncomfortable?
Restating the theme of discomfort and questioning its origin.
That question in your soul
Presenting discomfort as a profound question within oneself.
On and on and on it goes it goes
Repeating the idea of the continuous and persistent nature of discomfort.
It goes
Repetition for emphasis on the ongoing nature of discomfort.
