Lyrics
Verse 1:
Introduction to the first verse
There's a time when you need it
Identifying a moment of need
Abandon, trying to find a way out
Choosing to abandon attempts to find a solution
The pain in these eyes now begins within you
The internal pain starts, reflecting the challenging world
As our world grows more and more difficult
Highlighting the increasing difficulty in our world
In the dust of a lifetime that has swept us back
Life's challenges pushing us back, leaving dust of experiences
We will never stop or think we'll do it again
Commitment to keep going despite challenges
Until we take a step back
Pause for reflection, taking a step back
Pre:
Transition to the pre-chorus section
A reflection of the world in which we live
Reflection on the world we inhabit
When we're driving on the edge of ruin
Describing a precarious situation, on the edge of ruin
There's just enough dust in the air
Setting a scene with dust in the air, symbolizing uncertainty
And nothing to light our way
Emphasizing the lack of guidance
Chorus:
Introduction to the chorus
There’s no reason to feel ashamed
Encouraging self-acceptance, no shame in one's feelings
You’re the one who’ll end up paying for the blame
Personal responsibility for consequences
We're the ones who gave you that choice
Others provided a choice, now facing the consequences alone
We'll put you on your own
Isolation as a consequence, considering oneself to be free
Considering yourself to feel free
Emphasizing independence and freedom through self-consideration
You don’t need others, but yourself to make it right
Reiteration of self-reliance for making things right
We're the ones who gave you that choice
Repeating the idea of others providing a choice
We'll put you on your own
Repeating the consequence of being put on one's own
Considering yourself to feel free
Reiteration of the theme of considering oneself to feel free
Verse 2:
Introduction to the second verse
All the weight will fall in your hands
Bearing the weight of consequences
Lost in memories
Being immersed in memories
Believing in such an ending
Believing in an ending, possibly finding resolution
What else is left to say?
Expressing a sense of conclusion or resignation
