World Without Warning
Embracing Solitude: Seeking Hope in a World of Disillusionment
Lyrics
I live off nothing in this world
I sustain myself with very little in this world
Except the thick grey air that chains itself
Except for the oppressive atmosphere that tightly binds itself
Swirls all around and ingrains itself
It swirls around, penetrating deeply and becoming an integral part of my existence
Stifles my last hope into sullen despair
Suppresses my final hope, turning it into gloomy despair
I don't associate myself
I distance myself from unnecessary associations
With all of the people I can do without
Avoiding connections with people I can easily live without
Those who never leave me in any doubt
Especially those who never leave me uncertain
That their selfish narrow lives are all they care about
About their self-centered and narrow lives, which are their primary concern
I enjoy the silence in my life
I find solace in the quietness of my life
I don't thrive on the chaos that those contact can bring
I don't thrive on the turmoil that interactions with others can bring
So many empty gestures
Many gestures are empty, devoid of genuine meaning
That don't mean anything
Declarations and actions that lack significance
It's so hard and so cold
The world is harsh and cold
The texture of this world
Everything in this environment lacks softness
That nothing in this place is soft enough to hold
Nothing here is gentle enough to embrace
And nothing like tenderness can ever be unfurled
Tenderness and warmth are absent and unattainable
I don't want anything in this world
I desire nothing from this world
Except a thick gray air
Except for the dense, gray atmosphere
That will keep my heart hoping
That sustains my optimism
And keep my eyes wide open
And keeps my awareness keen
Just in case there's something there
Just in case there might be something significant
I don't want anything in this world
I seek nothing from this world
Except a thick gray air
Except for the thick gray air
That will keep my heart hoping
That maintains hope in my heart
And keep my eyes wide open
And keeps my eyes wide open
Just in case there's something there
Just in case there might be something significant
Just in case there's something there
