Fatal Shore
Navigating the Depths of Existence: Fatal Shore Reflections
Lyrics
Would it be easier, so much easier
Contemplating whether life would be easier if there was no knowledge of "us."
If you never knew us
Reflecting on the potential ease if the speaker was never known.
Would you ever fear anymore
Questioning if there would be any fear without the knowledge of the speaker.
If you never knew us
Reiterating the idea that knowing the speaker may cause fear.
Would we meet on a fatal shore, on a fatal shore?
Asking whether a meeting would occur on a fateful or disastrous shore.
When are you coming to shore
Asking when the listener will come ashore.
To never fear anymore
Expressing the desire for an existence without fear.
You never know any doubt, know any doubt
Highlighting a state of not knowing doubt.
Like we who breathe in and out, breathe in and out
Describing the act of breathing and emphasizing commonality with others who also breathe.
We who breathe in and out, breathe in and out
-We who breathe in and out, breathe in and out
-We who breathe in and out, breathe in and out
-Oh, no
Expressing a sense of concern or realization.
Are you a breather?
Pondering whether the listener is a breather or a mail receiver.
Mail receiver?
-If you could see right through us
If the speaker could be seen through completely, referencing transparency.
Through our clothes and through our pores
-If you could see right through us
Reiterating the idea of being seen through, suggesting vulnerability.
You're gonna run into your homes and lock your doors
Anticipating a reaction of running into homes and locking doors upon being seen through.
Ah, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(Singing in a non-lexical manner)
La-la-la-la, la, la-la-la
-La-la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la-la
-La-la-la-la, la, la-la-la
-When are you coming to shore, coming to shore, coming to shore
Repetition of the desire for the listener to come ashore without fear.
To never fear anymore, fear anymore, fear anymore
-You never know any doubt, know any doubt, know any doubt
Reiterating a state of not knowing doubt.
We who breathe in and out
Continued emphasis on the shared experience of breathing.
We who breathe in and out
-We who breathe in and out
-We who breathe in and out, breathe in and out
-We who breathe in and out, breathe in and out, breathe in and out
Repeating the act of breathing and its communal nature.
Oh, sure
Expressing certainty or agreement.
Oh, sure
Reiterating certainty or agreement.
