Alexander All Alone
Unveiling the Inner Abyss: Alexander's Journey to Liberation
Lyrics
Alexander all alone
Alexander feels completely isolated and alone.
Smoking a cigarette
He's smoking a cigarette.
The last pack he'd ever burn
He claims it's the last pack he'll ever burn.
At least that's what he said
Expresses uncertainty about whether he'll quit smoking.
He stood up to stretch his back
He stood up, possibly feeling discomfort, and then fell to the ground, perhaps due to physical or emotional strain.
And fell down to the ground
He physically collapsed.
Alexander all alone
Reiterates Alexander's isolation.
'Til the neighbor caught a glimpse
A neighbor noticed Alexander's distress.
Cried out for his wife
The neighbor called for help from Alexander's wife.
To call the ambulance
Urgency in the situation - calling for medical assistance.
Alexander all alone
Reiterates Alexander's isolation and vulnerability.
Felt them check his pulse
He felt medical personnel checking his pulse.
He heard them pronounce him dead
He heard them declare him dead.
Hell is found inside of me
Acknowledges internal turmoil or suffering.
And nothing else will set me free
Nothing external can resolve his inner struggles.
If hell is found inside of me
Reiterates the notion of internal torment.
Then open me up and spill me out
Expresses a desire to release the internal pain.
Alexander wondered when
Contemplating life flashing before death.
The life flashed before his eyes
Reflecting on the lack of a peaceful departure.
Why his soul did not depart
Questioning the absence of peace of mind during this experience.
Why he found no peace of mind
Feeling unsettled about the afterlife.
Would it take a little while?
Asking if peace takes time to find after death.
Was it the same for everyone?
Wondering if this experience is universal.
Alexander realized
Coming to a realization about internal torment.
That hell is found inside of me
Reiterates the ongoing internal suffering.
And nothing else will set me free
Confirms that nothing external can alleviate his inner turmoil.
If hell is found inside of me
Repeats the theme of internal torment.
Then open me up and spill me out
Expresses a wish to release or reveal his inner turmoil.
