Breakers
Ephemeral Reflections: As Tall as Lions' 'Breakers'
Lyrics
Tell me what we're doing here
Troubling about the purpose or meaning of our existence
Today is the tomorrow
Emphasizing the present moment as the future becomes today
And yesterday I feared
Reflecting on past worries or anxieties
You're force-feeding us white lies
Deceiving with untruths or falsehoods
Pulling strings on my back
Exerting control or influence over me
I should've known from the start nothing good ever lasts
Realization that positive things often don't endure
The end is gonna come
Anticipation of an inevitable conclusion or ending
(It's starting, it's starting, it's starting)
Indicating the commencement or onset of something
And where it started from
Where an event originated or began
Faded, there ain't nothing left
Feeling depleted or worn out, nothing substantial remains
Clouds crop this city
Metaphorical description of gloominess covering the city
And all the widows wept
Expressing collective sorrow or mourning
I've got my hands and feet tied
Feeling restricted or powerless
You've got your foot at my back
Experiencing pressure or manipulation
I should've known from the start how my body would act
Realization of the predictable nature of one's physical reactions
If all alone it came to me
Contemplating a realization that occurred while being solitary
Now I'll surely believe
Confirmation of a belief due to a solitary realization
If all alone it came to me
Reiteration of a realization coming from solitude
My love, you'll see
Assurance that someone will understand the realization
