Pass Us By
Lost Faith in Love: Arlo McKinley's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
I don't know why, I can't keep you by my side
I am uncertain about the reasons why I cannot keep you with me.
No matter how hard I try
Despite putting in significant effort, I am unable to succeed.
Everyday, in this house alone I have
Every day, I experience loneliness in this house, contemplating dark thoughts of suicide.
Sweet dreams of suicide
I have unsettling dreams about ending my own life.
I lost all faith in sex and love
I've lost trust in both sex and love.
Hell below and Heaven above
Experiencing hardship ("Hell below") and seeking solace ("Heaven above").
We keep ourselves high just to be satisfied
We resort to substances to find contentment.
As we watch, as our lives pass us by
We passively observe our lives slipping away.
We carry the weight and tried to help each other
We bear the burdens and attempt to support each other.
And kept our feet on the ground
Remaining grounded despite challenges.
Got taken away by loves one secret
We were deceived by the hidden aspects of love.
She lined us up to shoot us down
Someone manipulated us, setting us up for a downfall.
I lost all faith in sex and love
Trust is lost in both sex and love, echoing earlier sentiments.
Hell below and Heaven above
Struggling with challenges ("Hell below") and seeking higher purpose ("Heaven above").
We keep ourselves high just to be satisfied
We use substances to find satisfaction.
As we watch, as our lives pass us by
We passively witness our lives slipping away.
